Mornings at the Cabin

Wheeler just got back from two humid weeks in New York. Mooresy doesn't want to hear about it because he neglected to get her a coffee. And now we fight.

Lekter wanted birthday pancakes. He didn't get them. Jasmine would like to stop receiving parking tickets. She keeps getting them. We can't always get what we want.

After waiting nearly 24 hours to allow time for yesterday's huge news to reveal itself as some kind of cruel prank, or the dreaded "wrong press release" gag, we're now nearly ready to believe that we got our FM licence for realsies. Maybe we'll wait out the long weekend, just to be sure.

Yep, we got it. Cabin Radio is now OFFICIALLY your next northern FM radio station. However, that all happened AFTER this morning's show, making this arguably the quickest-to-become-obsolete podcast episode we've ever produced.

This weekend in Yellowknife: A return of the Tale of Two Fests... IN THE OLD SCHOOL CORNER; The Old Town Ramble n Ride... IN THE NEW SCHOOL CORNER; Ribfest.

There was no shortage of events happening this past weekend! Hay Days...Ptarmicon...and the NWT Culinary Festival, during which you may have caught the rare Elke meltdown!

There are certain skills one must acquire in order to be a good uncle. One of them is reading children's books. It doesn't always come naturally! But as always, practice makes perfect.

Lekter's been alone the last couple mornings with nobody to debrief the festival that was FOTR 2025. Finally, some cool kids have wandered into the studio.

The Prince of Darkness has left us. Strangely, after all this time, a day that many of us much younger than him thought we'd never live to see.

A lightning storm. A nice summer day. A cold, unrelenting wind. An on-stage marriage proposal. And a whole whack of great music. FOTR 2025 was a rollercoaster.

That's right, we've finally done it! Broadcasting since 2018 as Cabin Radio, but not in a real cabin...this weekend, at Folk on the Rocks, we are HOME.

We've all seen the recent transformation taking shape at Yellowknife's Center Square Mall...upper level. But now, FINALLY, some potentially great news for the lower level! Could this mean the Center Square Wall might finally come down?!

Have you been composting improperly, Yellowknife? Let's see... dog poop? OOPS! Plastic cups (even the ones that say "compostable" apparently)? Yep, that's an OOPS!! Still intact animal carcasses? Oh, you better believe that's an OOPS!!!

Intern Elke leaves us all in the dust with a wonderful Studio 1 performance. Catch her live at Float on the Rocks this Thursday!

...of hilarity! Mike the Plumber joins the show to chat stand-up comedy, Wednesday's show at the Underground, and a little pro wrestling for good measure. Caution: This episode may contain a gnarly fart joke.

She sees all. She serves all. But don't you dare order a tea.

Representatives of Minnesota and Wisconsin have politely informed us that our Canadian wildfires are making it difficult for them to enjoy their summer. On behalf of Climate Change, we're sorry.

Yeah...it's pretty big. I guess.

That's right. We found it. And we're going down the list, name by name...of all the insects we could, frankly, do without.

Daddy = Lekter, andHome = CabinA slightly ironic title given that he's actually been home for the last month, and Cabin Radio is not his place of residence. But hey, it's a Monday, what can ya say?

Happy Friday! Fire on Tin Can Hill, real dinosaurs and a live chat with the federal environment minister. In case you can't tell, the theme of the show is nature

Wheeler and Ollie dive into heartland, fire bans and where on earth we are going to put more housing!

Producer Elke, not so locked in after a festive Canada Day break. But it's okay because the new app is out! Download Cabin Radio in any App store, enjoy!

Listen to us coast through a morning show as we continue to coast through this odd day between Sunday and a stat holidayHappy Canada Day!

The man, the myth, the legend, Kevin MacDonald joins us in Studio 1. He was kind enough to pick someone who didn't win, but then... picked a winner for Big Lake, Big Prizes! congratulations Michelle Guile on your 2 Weekend passes + Warm the rocks passes for Folk on the Rocks 2025.

NWT gets repped in the amazing race and what's one thing you should do during every race?... drink water. Preferably without lead

Another day, another abandoned firepit. Luckily we have all of your solutions to complex issues at Mornings at the Cabin, well not that complex. MAKE SURE THE FIRE IS OUT!

Jasmine and AJ chat about the upcoming long weekend and what's going on around town

Sam is sadly leaving the Cabin to go on to new horizons, but first we had to give him some advice.

Wheeler, Producer Elke and Ehxea joins us in studio to chat about the end of the Oilers 2025 Stanley cup run and we learned a thing or two about peanut butter

A summer full of Pride events kick off this month, including the annual Pride Parade next weekend and our new favourite event, "Speed Friending."

Here we go again! After making short work of the Dallas Stars, the North's team is headed right back to another Stanley Cup Final against an all-too-familiar foe.

Salvagers Unite can be a great thing for getting rid of stuff that is still in ok condition but you no longer need or want. It can also be a major headache. You just need to know how to use it properly!

Too little of it basically makes you a psychopath. Too MUCH of it...well that's no fun either.

There are certain things that we all abide by in a society. A social contract, if you will. Should somebody go ahead and break that contract...well, let's just say, there may be pictures of your license plate.
