Mornings at the Cabin

April 23, 2024: Working 9 to 5

Sometimes the morning show feels like your workin' 9 to 5, but what a way to make a livin'. Wheeler was barely gettin' by

April 22, 2024: Could Cricket Save Us All?

AJ has bobsledding in his family and Ollie might save us all one day thanks to his mediocre crickets abilities

April 19, 2024: FOTR Wave 2 Announcement!

Check out the latest artist announcement from Folk on the Rocks' Executive Director Carly McFadden!

April 18 2024: Meter Gamble

Take a risk with a parking meter, submerge the fiber optic cable, listen to northern music. We have all the answers.

April 17, 2024: Edgy Hamster

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

April 16, 2024: Truckin' MLA's

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!

April 15, 2024: Aussie and the Beast

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?

April 12, 2024: That Other Simpson

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

April 11, 2024: Yeah!

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...

April 10, 2024: Crowd Pleasers

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.

April 9, 2024: Closing Time

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.

April 8, 2024: Wheel's on the Bus

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.

April 5, 2024: Snow Jam

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.

April 4, 2024: Insta-Ollie

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!

April 3, 2024: Impact Honk

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

April 2, 2024: The Great Backyard War

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

March 28, 2024: Breaking B7d

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

March 27, 2024: PSA Day

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.

March 26, 2024: One-Upping Ollie

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!

March 25, 2024: A Yellowknife Win at the Junos

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.

March 22, 2024: Who Knew High Level Could Stir Such Emotion

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.

March 21, 2024: Letters & Text & Puppies

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

March 20, 2024: Video Killed the Radio Star

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)

March 19, 2024: The Return of Unc

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!

March 18, 2024: Flogg & Schlepp

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

March 15, 2024: Here We Go Again

The CRTC has re-entered the chat.

March 14, 2024: Knuckle-Hopping Mad

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

March 13, 2024: Catching Up with Clams n Moose!

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

March 12, 2024: ..And Other Ozark Folktales

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

March 11, 2024: Alaskan Crews

Team NT has invaded Alaska for the 2024 Arctic Winter Games!

March 8, 2024: Pizza Time

Nobody (in this Cabin at least) ever said that pizza isn't a perfectly viable breakfast food. Here to embolden that idea, is Brenden MacIntosh.

March 7, 2024: Doored n Dashed

AJ has never been shy about his relationship with Door Dash. But when the nature of those relations becomes the center of neighbourhood gossip and heresay, that's when we must take a stand.

March 6, 2024: Mr. Speaker

Hot on the heels of MLA Hawkins hit rendition of "I Will Survive," DJ Blakey brings us a FIRE new track!

March 5, 2024: 6th Civil Partnership Acknowledgement

Today marks six years the landmark civil partnership deal between Cabin Radio owners. Get ready for a buttoned-down hootenanny!

March 4, 2024: Trouble at the Range

Yellowknife was a-buzz with Lily James sightings last week! But why just try to catch a glimpse of a celebrity...when you can catch a DANSE

March 1, 2024: One Fall Backward, Two Springs Forward

That's it, enough fooling around. It's time to get AJ on the phone!

February 29, 2024: Daylight Saviors

The people of the NWT want to get rid of daylight savings time. We've known this for years. But who has the time or patience to take the necessary step of annoying the tech giants? The answer: Us.

February 28, 2024: Dynamic Pricing

"Yeah, I'll have the Dynamo Burger with extra value fries and a chocolate surge shake? No pickles."

February 27, 2024: Empty Orchestra

Mooresy took a big personal step this past weekend, performing her first solo lead Karaoke song!

February 26, 2024: Vegas Paycation

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What Lekter didn't know (but probably could have guessed) is that for things to happen in Vegas, you need to have money. Lots of it.

February 23, 2024: The Hunt for Red October's Wi-Fi Password

Are nuclear submarines a better solution than aircraft for modern travel? Do you remember the famous Yellowknife Blizzard of December 2022? Would you visit Las Vegas of your own free will? Discuss.

February 22, 2024: Let's Get Snipped

February 21, 2024: 104.9 The Wolf w/ Chad and Evan

February 20, 2024: Bush Party Baby

The Just For Laughs 'Stand-up North' comedy series has been released! Sets recorded during last year's Arctic Comedy Festival can now be streamed and downloaded, including two from our very own Emily Blake!

February 19, 2024: G Memes

It hasn't quite caught fire the way @yellowknifememes did. And it probably shouldn't.

February 16, 2024: Air Canabot

Following efforts to distance itself from the functionality and advice being given by IT'S OWN CHATBOT on IT'S OWN WEBSITE.. Air Canada has been told by a small claims court judge to "Take off, eh?"

February 15, 2024: Shlock Jock

By mid-day (after a few pots of coffee) he's the most respected journalist in the North. But by morning, you just never know who Ollie might call out next.

February 14, 2024: Last Acton Hero

You'll think they've gone totally NUTS after this whacky Valentine's Day adventure at the Cabin!

February 13, 2024: Bad Buds

For clarification: There is likely nothing wrong with the buds. It's our ears that suck.

February 12, 2024: Rex In Effect

It's show week for the hottest ticket event in Yellowknife - Bloody Valentine Burlesque! And the incomparable Rex Holmes joined us to chat about what it's like being the best damn MC/show host in town!
