Mornings at the Cabin

Despite some 'growing pains' as we experiment with new systems we did learn that you can volunteer to pet a bunny, so that's cool

Concerned about the rapid rate in which you kill plants? Interested in below average level hockey games? Maybe a new bakery or Dolly Parton themed live show strikes your fancy? Then do we have a podcast for you!

Wheeler and AJ talk online cannabis, failed careers, hockey cards and it wouldn't be a morning show without an attempt at breaking down capitalism... right?

In the slightly edited words of The Simpson's character, Miss Hoover, "He's bad, but now he's dead. So we like it."

Deputy Mayor Garett Cochrane's inspired performance of Elton John's "I'm Still Standing" has spawned what may soon become a spin-off album...

When an MLA talk-sings a song in the Legislative Assembly...this show has a responsibility to undertake. So when Yellowknife Deputy Mayor Garett Cochrane follows suit during a council meeting...well, you all know what's coming.

Much like the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, so too must the Dettah ice road follow a natural, seasonal path.

Wheeler wandered back into the studio this morning, after walking back his hearsay resignation. Everybody's doing it! Also, if you see an old-timers hockey player anywhere in the north...go easy on them. They're probably a hurtin' unit today. And very-partial-in-fact-likely-unnoticable-Eclipse day has got us all mildly excited.

Whether it's being removed at a questionable time of year (through no fault of the City of Yellowknife Snow Removal teams!!!) or frantically added to snowboarding hills for international tournaments...or just, simply minding it's own business while melting at an alarmingly rapid pace.. snow. Snow was the theme this morning.

Through our traditional trial-and-error approach, we have discovered we may be Spotify's newest lab rats (or beta testers, if we're flattering ourselves). Also, Ollie is back on Insta (definitely not a hoax. Nope, no-sir-ee), a hijacked hockey conversation AND your weekly dose of pop culture trivia with Emily Blake!

What's your go-to awkward noise upon your everyday thrill-seeking mishaps?

The first offensive launched. The first battle won. But the war has only just begun.

An inadvertent "live-tweeting" of sorts, of an impromptu opening day for B7 convenience store in downtown YK!

A kind reminder that anything heard on the FM airwaves in Yellowknife or anywhere else cannot be blamed on Cabin Radio. One day, maybe. But not today.

Ollie had a huge show hosting MATC yesterday: a live interview with a Juno award winner, Mo Kenney live in-studio, and a great chat with Rosy Strong... so, not to be outdone, Lekter had to pull out the big guns!

Stephen Richardson's on the show after winning Music Teacher of the Year at the Junos, plus Mo Kenney joins to talk about her FOTR Artist Residency and Rosie Strong discusses a new text messaging approach to cancer aftercare.

The band Big Independent plays two tracks, at least one of which we didn't have to retroactively bleep for this podcast, and Folk on the Rocks exec director Carly McFadden reveals the first names in this year's lineup.

This morning at the cabin truly had it all. Beautiful live music, the return of an old pal....and a new pupper.

Ahh there's nothing like testing out video equipment in an audio format. You get all the fun of disrupted conversation, being forced to use your imagination, and having inanimate objects as guests (that will never be invited back)

A pillar in the northern media landscape flew the coop and headed south last year. But he's back, with a fresh sense of Evac Fomo for us all to enjoy!

They're hand puppets, they're hosers, and they're scaring Mooresy.

The CRTC has re-entered the chat.

The cynic would say, "we were robbed!" but the Terminator would say, "he'll be back."

They're always miles ahead! So it's nice to get them in on a morning at the Cabin while they're groggy and lethargic

The snow castle needs some kind of snow security guards. Specifically, ones armed with giant nets and leashes.
