Mornings at the Cabin

Lots of fun was had over Ollie-days 2024! AJ discovered a new Christmas pastime as well as a new muscle to pull! And listener discovered, once again, that they didn't pay quite as much attention to Cabin Radio news this past year as they thought they had.

Ollie-days are nearly upon us here at Cabin Radio! So let's wind up 2024 with one more nonsense-filled extravaganza! Merry Christmas!

On a nice, chill, ho-hum -30 day in Yellowknife, the Ecole Allain St-Cyr school choir decided to hit the streets and spread some adorable Christmas cheer and create some holiday magic in Studio 1.

When you have Carmen Braden on to co-host a morning show, you tend to go in knowing things will be a bit...different. Specifically, the morning playlist.

Oh if only we were talking about the "holiday hustle and bustle." No, instead, the chaos this season is coming from Ottawa. And this time without a convoy in sight!

Gail Cyr's Celebration of Life event was held yesterday at NACC. And frankly, we can't think of a life more worth celebrating.

When you think of Christmas criminal masterminds*, who normally comes to mind first? The Grinch?? Pfft. Small potatoes compared to Henry Janzen.

Yellowknife is an 'extraordinary' city by any measure. Just ask them. And while you're there, ya want a job?

CBC dramas. Be honest. We've all been into at least one. But only so few of us have chosen to get into one with 18 seasons (and counting!).

The Burger Family has announced it's intentions to pack up and leave Yellowknife by the end of this year. And suddenly the Cabin Radio Family realizes how it's taken Teen Burger Thursdays for granted.

Lekter has gone on record in the past railing against scratch tickets as gifts. But some recent prize winnings have got him all turned around on the subject.

You know the type. Not your typical 9 to 5'ers. Like a cozy place to walk and maybe lift a few weights. And they want that cozy little place to be kept a secret from the likes of YOU.

The Spotify Wrapped 2024 stats have been delighting as well as terrorizing listeners for another year, and for the first time, this very podcast gets to be delighted and terrorized!

It's not so much that Ollie has a problem with it. Moreso that he wants to protect the youth from the harsh realities that come with being an MLA in the North. And Mr. Speaker has a problem with that.

If you're Hank Hill, then you know that nothing beats the taste of clean-burning propane on the grill. If you're Ollie Williams, then you probably aren't doing a whole lot of grilling at the moment, and the smell of propane may be cause for concern.

Never fear everyone! The trees are nearly here. Unless they get misplaced again. Or a truck slides off the highway. Again. But what are the odds of those things happening AGAIN??

Did you make the round for this year's YK downtown Shop Hop? Did you remember to put on your long johns before doing so??

A Yellowknife "die-hard" has added a new building to the city's landscape on Google maps. At least, we've been led to believe that it's a map of Yellowknife..?

It's time for Open Mic Comedy night at the Underground! This Saturday, with your host, Mike the Plumber!

This past weekend, Ollie went into the Rocky Horror show cold, having never seen the movie. And next year, he's going to see a band he's never listened to. So much to consider!

Yellowknife's peculiar little fox-god creature has been spotted once again. This time, with an explanation (and possibly a doctor's note).

The Grinch stepped in as guest host of Cabin Radio's live Santa Claus parade special – and became increasingly giddy with glee as Cabin Radio struggled to find its own float.

With show number 1 of 5 in the books, the Parcel of Rogues crew is off and running with this year's Rocky Horror Show! But of course, anxiety awaits, with the inevitable out-of-the-gate reviews. Noted theater critic, Andrew "Honourable Mention" Goodwin, gives his take.

Ollie's depth perception struggles continue. So AJ get on-board.

You would be forgiven for thinking that Ollie has always worn glasses. However, you would also be wrong. Ollie is now a glasses guy. And probably shouldn't be driving.
