Mornings at the Cabin

It's been a long, cold winter. Even the hardiest or Northerners among us is just about done with it. So this morning, your besties at Folk on the Rocks offered a glimpse of warmth, with the Wave 1 Artist Lineup announcement!

Mike the Plumber joined the show this morning to chat about his upcoming hosting gig at the King's Comedy Night, Wednesday March 11th!

Some Yellowknifer's went to Finland and won Bronze for a Snow Sculpture Competition! What would Wheeler and AJ carve?

Lunar eclipses, making "babies", and Snow King Winter Festivities! A very informative talk at 7 in the morning, as per usual.

The Snowking Winter Festival is officially on! The coolest winter festival in the world kicked off its 31st month-long extravaganza yesterday afternoon, and we can't wait to go play!

Yellowknife City Council has come one step closer to renaming Franklin (or, 50th, if ya nasty) Avenue to Wııl̀ııdeh Avenue. That's right, just a simple street name change. Probably no controversy here.

Startled, weary, and sporting a mystery stain on her fleece sweater, Jasmine reluctantly joined Lekter this morning at the Cabin. An unexplained brain tickle then followed, which may or may not have had something to do with Dave Babych's fabulous moustache.

Next month, a birthday party for the ages is taking place in Deline. And the guest list is downright LEGENDARY.

The Kitikmeot Trade Show in Cambridge Bay has developed a reputation over the years as one of the biggest events of the year throughout the North. It sounds like we're kidding. But we're not kidding.

Bars were open from coast to coast as early as 4AM this past Sunday morning. But for what? We're not sure. We've blocked it all out. Whatever it was.

The lead singer of  R.A.S.K.L came to Studio 1 today! She may not be old enough to cast a ballot, but she's fully qualified to drop the mic, steal the spotlight, and demand snacks in her dressing room.

Recently, we celebrated an important milestone in Jasmine's radio career, which saw her misunderstand a note on a song that said DO NOT PLAY...and then play it. This morning, another milestone reached, in the form of a missed alarm.

Cabin Radio's Adult Spelling Bee house band, the Co-op, has it's own spinoff band! The Operation is willing and eager to play your wedding, party or special event!

For a small film fest named "Still Dead" (not to mention, a theater with the end of days on the horizon) there was a whole lot of life inside Capitol Theater last night!

From Yellowknife's new music scene 'zine'...to a Human Library event at the upcoming Snowking Winter Festival...our news coverage this morning was a real page-turner!

Happy Galentines Day! A Friday night Galentines seems like an appropriate time for Crave's servers to crash due to overwhelming demand to stream Heated Rivalry.

Sometimes you think a morning show is just going to end quietly. Next thing you know, you find yourself jumping on the Goodtime bandwagon.

Wheeler won't be in tomorrow morning. So rather than taking a knee and sitting one out, he has rearranged your entire week at the Cabin to fit his schedule. That's right, PCPTP with Emily Blake...on a WEDNESDAY.

The NWT SPCA and NWT Brewing Co. have partnered up on a great promotion. Even greater, if you've got deep pockets, POWERFUL FRIENDS....and, of course, a cute dog.

In a devastating, lobsided defeat, Bad Bunny took out Kid Rock in a resounding Halftime Show victory for the ages. And in other news, Seattle won the football game by some score.

Miriam is going to be ALL OVER this weekend's Still Dark festival, starting TONIGHT with the Underground's live jam night! 

The capital city of the NWT...without a Capitol Theater? Say it ain't so!!

Lekter, Moorsey and Listeners, gather 'round for Wheeler's BIG announcement! What could it be? WHAT COULD IT BE?? Do you feel sufficiently teased?! Alright, looks like we're finally getting the hang of this radio thing.

A gaggle of current and former Yellowknifers, Lekter and company included, descended upon a very small Costa Rican town and...well, took over. A full on invasion. Their weapon of choice? LOVE.

AJ and Wheeler run through what's coming up in February, but Wheeler looks like he's actively realizing there are not enough hours in the day. With everything happening at once, he seems personally offended by the concept of time. One person cannot be everywhere all at once, and Wheeler is discovering that live!

A laid-back podcast covering hockey jerseys and TV shows. From hodgepodge decorated jersey debates to TV recommendations and hot takes. Oh! And also AJ's makeshift mop. Much to be heard this morning from Ollie and AJ.

Ben Cornell joins Wheeler and Jasmine in Studio 1 to talk about the Still Dark Festival. He not only plays one song, but two, serenading your Morning at the Cabin!

Wheeler and Morsey talk celebrity gossip, almost like PCPTP on Thursdays, but more honest? and... chaotic? Also tune in to see who is coming to town!

AJ and Wheeler cover pond hockey, the Oscars, and the eternal social dilemma: handshake or high five? Verdict: fist bump-because commitment is scary.

Still Dark Festival is two weeks away. Which means it's darker now than it will be during Still Dark. Fact.

The morning crew already clapped back at the “hate” comments from the 2025 feedback survey… but one voice was suspiciously silent. Not anymore. AJ is in the studio, caffeinated, unbothered, and fully locked and loaded with his rebuttal.

The world is applauding Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney for the speech he delivered at the World Economic Forum. We're still making our way through it, thesaurus in-hand.

Power down your Tuesday morning at the Cabin with Wheeler, Lekter, and Miriam! Stuck in an elevator? No biggie! We'll keep you compa-- oh, you're already out.

It's National Nothing Day! A day to __________. Whatever you were planning on doing today, do less! And, together, let's try to keep Nothing in our hearts all year-round!

The comments are in, vetted, and have been filtered through our "meanness" algorithm. So let's hear 'em!

Over the weekend, it emerged that the long-standing Hay River community radio station (and unofficial Cabin Radio sister-station) CKHR had officially had it's FM licence revoked by the CRTC. And so, we shall take up the torch in 2026.

New show alert on Cabin Radio! Emily Blake brings you a brand new show, Monday nights at 8 PM, exploring the world of motion picture soundtracks with, "A Score to Settle."

The Cabin Radio audience feedback survey results are in. And they are...results.

With Still Dead film festival not far away, local film makers are getting their stuff in order and casts assembled! And AJ is looking for his big break.

Tickets are on sale NOW for the first ever Still Dead Film Festival - a self-described rip-off of the still-on-indefinite-hiatus Dead North Film Festival, following in a proud tradition of new Yellowknife things ripping off old Yellowknife things!

Do you use Salvagers Unite? Do you routinely waste people's precious time while doing so? Then perhaps you need to brush up on your Salvaging Etiquette.

Please take part in our 2025 "What do you like about Cabin Radio and what could we be doing better" survey! And if you have a snarky comment to pass along, well, even better!

Ollie launches the first MATC podcast of 2026! There was plenty to catch up on and, by Ollie's count, "way" too much eggnog.

Two days until Christmas. Ollie and Miriam take over studio 1 before Christmas is upon us. What could that entail?

Everyone is gone for Christmas-but you know what? Ollie brings his English wit, Jasmine adds her Gen Z flair, and together they deliver a quick Yellowknife Christmas chat from Studio 1. They're not going anywhere.

AJ's last show for 2025 and Jasmine's first time running the board. Better will come with the New Year, unless the real life "Hunger Games" actually happens...sorta.
