Mornings at the Cabin

Yellowknife, NWT: Home of the world's biggest __________?

Wheeler and Ollie adorably both started gardening this past weekend. Ollie's first purchase? Plants! Wheeler's first purchase? A garden gnome!

An honest tool dealer in Hay River gets ousted from the Territory, despite having the proper paperwork, while dishonest drug dealers point and laugh. And Yellowknife is apparently on Bill Burr's bucket list! Not sure why...but we'll take him! (stand-up comedy is an essential service right?)

Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, a true hero has emerged in Vancouver, and no Sky Train noise, nor the pleas of her neighbours shall stop her from doing her thing!

Lekter and AJ innocently pranked former Cabin Radio journalist Emelie Peacock yesterday...and received a, perhaps, backhanded compliment in response. Also, Clams 'n Moose talk about a new angle they're taking with their show tonight on Cabin Radio...a deep dive interview with your favourite news director in the North - Ollie Williams!

Drug dealers are apparently sneaking across the NWT boarder by (you'll never believe this) ...LYING (SEE?? TOLD YA!) And a much beloved MATC segment makes a glorious return, "The Wheel of Time."

Pants on, makeup gone. Turn that camera off and turn up those mics! The morning crew is back at the Cabin! So...who's getting breakfast?

AJ got the boot into the amber mountains of Yellowknife yesterday. 14-day self isolation. And it's already taken a toll.

Amidst everything going on around us, the online conversation that heated our phones most at Cabin Radio with furious facebook notifications: is it MACA or Maca? WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON???

AJ, in an act of equal parts boredom and curiosity, re-downloaded Tinder last night...and you'll NEVER BELIEVE what he discovered... I know, don't you hate those crappy clickbait, hooky descriptors?? Yeah, us too...anyway, enjoy the episode!

BREAKING NEWS: OLLIE WENT OUTSIDE THIS WEEKEND. The rest of this episode pales in comparison, if we're being honest.

Ollie's isolation period is officially over. But the catacombs out of Yellowknife's Amber Mountains are long, winding and laborious. So he'll probably stay put. At least for now.

Folk on the Rock Executive Director, Carly Bradley joins Wheeler, AJ and Lekter to announce the third and final wave of artists for FOTR's 40th anniversary this July!

This is the first April Fools Day that we can recall where you probably don't have to worry about any of the news you read being fake. At least, as a fun joke, anyway.

The Bad: The Covid-19 pandemic continues. The Good: It's the 35th anniversary of the launch of Super Mario Brothers! The Bad: The state of Nevada has painted parking stalls on the ground for homeless people to sleep in while staying physically distant.

Shout out to all the teachers who were looking forward to getting back to doing what they love after a much needed break today...until that break became indefinite :( Also, Tiger King. You knew it would come up eventually.

Yesterday, had it not been for the Covid-19 pandemic, would've been the day Wheeler had been dreading for MONTHS. Ironically, because of comedy.

Free from the shackles of his self(?)-isolation period, Wheeler makes his return to the Cabin! And he's got a lot of problems with you people!

We're missing Wednesday night trivia a the Yellowknife Elks...and we know YOU are missing hearing us pit Wheeler and Ollie against one-another for your amusement...so here it is!

Last week, we demonstrated how Neil Diamond's classic "Sweet Caroline" was a troublesome song to be playing on the radio in the Covid-19 era. Well, Neil got the memo. And Neil has made things right.

Wheeler is self-isolating. Ollie is still in isolation. Lekter is alone at the Cabin. AJ slept in.

Pay no attention to the title. Lekter's brain got caught in some kind of cosmic loop. He'll be ok. Probably.

The second wave of artist announcements happened this morning! FOTR's Mel Leonard joins Wheeler and Lekter to reveal the newest announcements for what is already a strong lineup for Folk on the Rocks' 40th anniversary!

Wheeler and Lekter discuss a few regular Cabin Radio playlist songs that should perhaps be shelved a bit in the age of COVID-19. Also, special guest Taylor from the Legendary PIT! joins us on the phone to chat about their upcoming EP release plans, and we get an update from our very own quarantined Cabineer, Ollie Williams!

Ollie took to Facebook Live yesterday evening to update the Territory on all that he has gathered regarding COVID-19, keeping us informed while also putting our minds at ease....until the Ollie outage.
