Mornings at the Cabin

The Grammy awards have been panned by critics for years. But recently, they seem to have found the formula. The most important component to that? Mostly cutting out the awards.

You've all heard of Punxsutawney Phil. You've probably heard of Shubenacadie Sam. And there's even an outside chance that you've heard of Lucy the Lobster. But we're guessing you've never heard of Balzac Billy. And with good cause!

And lo, nothing of consequence or real worth was discussed on that day. Which, according to our data, is why you listen.

Rather than focusing on issues that drive us further apart, we try to focus on topics that bring us together. Naps. We could all use one.

It started with an innocent discussion on the best baseball movies. And ended on a Lekter walk-out home run.

Lekter received a late Christmas gift over the weekend. There may have been a manufacturing error.

Yesterday was Robert Burns Day. And it's now become apparent that our resident Scot has not done enough to educate us on Scottish heritage.

...is the hardest part about the Dettah ice road lateness. Other than the extra gas costs. The extra gas is the hardest, then the waiting.

In traditional form, the Oscar nominations are being criticized. In what has NOT been tradition in recent years, Razzie nominations are being praised.

He can't help himself. When Oscar season rolls around, Wheeler eats it up.

Unfortunately for Wheeler, the show starts at 7.

We all love a good egg pun. But one thing that's no yoke, is how much we miss our Polar Eggs. Luckily, you shell only have to wait a short while longer!

We're only halfway through the 2023-24 NHL season, and somehow we're already sick of hearing about the Stanley Cup.

Yellowknife City Councillor Garett Cochrane is taking the reins as the newest Deputy Mayor of Yellowknife. As a failed aspiring Deputy Mayor of past, mostly because he never was clear on the rules in the first place...Wheeler has some advice.

NNSL owner Black Press has filed for creditor protection. What does this mean for Northern News Services? Possibly another sale to new ownership.

Busted furnaces, water main breaks, broke down vehicles, yet still no roads on the lakes...

First, he learned Canada has it's own space agency. THEN he learned there have actually been Canadian Astronauts! Yessir, it was a big morning for General Manager AJ.

Wheeler, in the midst of the ongoing coldsnap, makes a shocking revelation about his childhood. He assumed it wasn't shocking...until there was nobody around to relate.

Good Morning America arrived in Yellowknife for a story about the upcoming Aurora season! Now, we're fairly used to Yellowknife and Whitehorse being confused by southerners...but strangely rare that we get knocked northeast on the map...

Yessir, the Deh Cho bridge will no doubt host the HOTTEST party in the NWT this summer, with 24 new bars being added to the strip! Hooo boyyy it's bound to be a high-flyin' infrastructure hootenanny!

Overwhelmed Healthcare system? Furnace broke down? Truck won't start? Don't worry, we'll get through it, as long as we stick together. Which we will until it warms up enough outside to get us unstuck.

Sorry, Listener, but your motives for tuning in to this show are unhealthy. Believe it or not, we want you to like us!

Despite a sudden and dramatic cold snap, we are on track for a record-setting late open of the perhaps-soon-to-be-constructed-maybe-guess-we'll-see Dettah Ice Road!

It's about time this show got introduced properly.
