Mornings at the Cabin

YK City Councillor Julain Morse's long, brutal battle with Daylight Savings Time in the NWT may be finally coming to an end. But will the war be over?

If you've been anywhere on the internet/social media in the days following Joe Biden's presidential inauguration, you've seen it. The Bernie meme.

Lekter tasted some bitter revenge in the form of a long-play facebook hijacking last night. Also someone got bored and stole a firetruck in Inuvik yesterday.

Still no substantial updates as to where the mystery Yellowknife Covid case came from. This seems like a perfect time to panic.

It's time to decide, YK: Will it be a flat piece of plastic or a 1.4 million dollar SUPER SLIDE?? THESE ARE YOUR ONLY TWO OPTIONS, APPARENTLY.

Well...it was supposed to be Penny. But that didn't quite work out.

Stanton Territorial is "basically" sterilized. Just like Cabin Radio is "basically" a radio station.

Last week, listener wrote Jesse, Lekter, Ollie and AJ letters expressing their love of the show. We responded. This week, listener sent follow-up letters responding to our response. Hopefully the cycle will continue!

Our young reporters' (Brack and Sibs) nicknames are quickly piling up - each more bizarre than the last. But Meaghan "Two Snakes" Brackenbury is apparently now contemplating a new name altogether...

Wheeler gave Cabin Radio reporter Sarah Sibley her belated birthday gift this morning. It took a while, but was totally worth it.

Makerspace YK have made some space in a new place! Also, it was Sibs's birthday yesterday...so let's come up with a special belated gift for her (Wheeler slept through it).

The first work week of the Monday of months (aka January) is at an end! Let's celebrate with the first PCPTP of 2021!

Yes, yes, we all had a laugh. But it turns out, upon much, much closer inspection, it's true! Yellowknife is home to the world's best snowflakes. Alright, alright, that's enough.

Team Canada came up just short against Team USA in the World Junior Championship final last night. Which means team Northwest Territories emerged victorious over Team Yukon in the 'Battle of the North.'

Look for "Bean Dad" in your December 2021 Year-in-Review stories! Also, we received some lovely hand-written fan mail...and everyone is uncomfortable with humble praise.

First show of the new year! It's time for New Years resolutions, of course, with the help of a random resolution generator. Also...it's so very quiet at the Cabin...because the office has moved down the hall and can't hear Wheeler screaming anymore.

From all of us, to all of you, we hope you have an incredible Christmas. Here's to leaving 2020 (aka "the Dumpster Fire") in the dust!

We've got our 2021 Calendar up in the studio! And it's got drop-shadow font :D

Lekter's mom, once again, cut through Wheeler's undeniable conviction to bring us the true meaning...of Xmas.

It's Monday, and that sucks, naturally. But Christmas is on Friday and that's pretty swell.

-43 degrees celsius this morning at the Cabin, to be exact! You know, in case you're not on social media to see everyone's weather app screenshots...

Brack and Sibs, in the absence of a tourism industry, filled in performing all of the charming cold-weather experiments that we're used to seeing visitors to the north display with joy around this time of year. The results? Adorable.

Ollie took a much deserved say off yesterday to get some a) rest, and b) Christmas things done!

Well Cambridge Bay, you really did it this time. Iqaluit Mayor Kenneth Bell tweeted a picture of a note posted on the door of the Cambridge Bay post office, informing the public that it's employee, Bo, had quit due to "continued rudeness." We feel you, Bo.

-45 degrees with the wind chill at the Cabin this morning! And not much warmer inside! Happy mid-December!
