Mornings at the Cabin

Deputy MLA of Yellowknife, Jesse Wheeler, begins filling out his deputy cabinet this morning live on the air. And Sarah Erasmus of 100 Women Who Give A Damn drops by the Cabin to announce their newest local charity contribution winners!

Two days post-feddy, everyone has had some time to process, and everyone is miserable. BUT what's important is that we're all miserable TOGETHER.

With no Ollie in the room, Wheeler and Lekter process the results of the 2019 Canadian Federal Election like a poorly-functioning kitchen appliance. A food processor, to be exact. Plus, Lekter has a bone to pick with (supposed) friend of the Cabin and resident new person to Yellowknife, Bridget Rusk! And TWO surprise reveals this morning! One for the winner of our Scuba Diving lessons contest with...

Federal Election day! No kids allowed! But should they be? Plus, a wrap and farewell for this year's edition of 'Boolesque' and AJ went scuba diving this past weekend! Wanna go with him?

AJ, in his new role as Cabin Radio Cultural Correspondent, offers his review of Boolesque 2019. And the Rocky Horror Picture Show is coming to NACC - Ollie, Lekter and AJ get your prepared for this cult event not to be missed!

The Cabin Radio Federal Candidates debate was held last night at Yellowknife City Hall with Ollie Williams moderating, with a few highlights and fireworks this time around! Everyone representing well...including the microphones...that proved to be one of the toughest opponents of the night. Also, a question for the smokers now: Would you quit smoking if it meant an additional 6 vacation days?

The NWT's ONLY family (as far as we know...still no word from "The Happy Family") heading to Toronto for the inaugural season of Family Feud Canada - the Hernandez Family! - drops into the Cabin for a 1-round, winner-take-all (practice) round with...Ollie Williams. No family necessary.

Wheeler, Ollie and Lekter return in relatively working order after the Thanksgiving long weekend! And they've got exciting, if not completely anti-climactic news regarding their Family Feud Canada Cabin Family bid!

The Cabin Radio world premiere of GM AJ Goodwin (AKA DJ Gooder) and his highly anticipated single, "Range Lake Anthem." Also, with no Wheeler or Ollie taking up all the airspace, Lekter and AJ take this opportunity to give you what you've all been wanting: GM AJ AMA ("Ask Me Anything" for you un-hip kids).

Lekter and Ollie are dismayed to find that the CBC will no longer be carrying coverage of Justin Trudeau in a pumpkin patch on this day. And Wheeler and Lekter were (briefly) featured in a Canadaland podcast for their post-territorial election coverage! And do you fancy yourself a diver but lack the training/certification? Then make sure to listen to MATC next week!

Yellowknife's most infamous Chihuahua, "Sweetie," went missing from her foster home yesterday! Time passed! More time passed! But luckily, Sweetie was found and returned to safety late last night. And Ollie and Sarah give us a rare glimpse into their private romantic life...

Deputy MLA of Yellowknife, Jesse Wheeler, has some choice words for NWT Rhino Party leader, Mel Leonard, who disappointed many by failing to file his candidacy papers on time. And a no-nonsense review of the brand new "Joker" movie with the most serious member of the Cabin...AJ!

Lekter may have bought himself an indefinite ban from appearing on Cabin Radio's "Dad Rock" program. Plus, local composer and good friend of the Cabin, Carmen Braden has been named "Composer of the Year" at the Western Canadian Music Awards, and the ladies of Boolesque joined us this morning at the Cabin...even though their shows are already sold out!

Territorial election aftermath, sarcastic remarks about power outages, puppeteers and pinup girls: Yes, this morning's show truly had it all!

Reaction and analysis from 4 exhausted radio folk following a historic NWT Territorial Election. That's it, that's all.

The NWT Territorial Election goes down tonight and some important questions still need to be answered! Like why can't dogs vote? And will there be bouncy castles and cotton candy at the polling stations? Because that would be nice.

Wheeler enlightens Ollie and Lekter on his political past as a member of the "Rhino Dino Party" and re-affirms himself as the most accomplished politician on Mornings at the Cabin. Plus, remember last week when former WWE superstar Chris Jericho officially endorsed an unknown candidate in the Inuvik Boot Lake Territorial riding? Well we NOW know that that candidate was Dez Loreen...and the other B...

The Legislative Assembly of the NWT is so excited about their logo re-brand, that they're opening a gift shop! Hopefully with a fun line of MLA action figures to follow. And it's curbside giveaway weekend in Yellowknife! Remember, you still can't drag things from people's lawn to the curb and then take them for free. It doesn't work that way.
