Mornings at the Cabin

The Adult Spelling Bee Championship is officially UP FOR GRABS. Reigning 2-time defending champion, Jacki McKinnon joined us this morning to announce that she, unfortunately, will not be able to take part in ASB3.

So we talked about Fort McPherson's growing Chase the Ace pot. What.

Tyler White-Keyes joins the show to talk Steadily Deadly 2!...and possibly scare Jasmine out of the studio.

Lekter and Jasmine both just got back from a whirlwind adventure.

Some docks in the Yellowknife area were damaged. The question is, what caused this? Some say freak weather, others say big waves. Or could it be the legendary sea monster that lives in Great Slave Lake and Yellowknife Bay?!

The North of 60 Classic is coming to Yellowknife! And we've been volun-told that we will be doing a hell of a job covering it!

She just toured the North with John Wing. She's booked to open for Brent Butt in October. Skye Plowman HEATING. UP.

Did you know Megan Nash is coming to town? Well now you know. MEGAN NASH IS COMING TO TOWN!!

A shooting incident in the wee hours derailed what was poised to be an incredible 5th edition of Fort Smith's annual Fireweed Festival. Despite this, the community rallied.

No, not us friends! We're talking about Nicole Spencer and Carly McFadden. But thanks for looking!

Would you rather snitch on a bear to ENR or Ollie Williams? There's a right answer. We don't know the answer, but there is one.

It's official...the THIRD edition of Cabin Radio's Adult Spelling Bee competition is coming. 

The Arctic Comedy Festival (tour?) lands in Hay River and Yellowknife this Wednesday and Thursday! Comic legend John Wing, however, landed in Yellowknife late last night...and discovered there's no Tim's between Cabin Radio and the Chateau Nova.

Just a couple chuds in the morning, chatting chud weather, giving chud-like shout-outs, and drinking their chud coffee. 

Don't look now, but Wheeler's got himself a fresh new rap crew.

Listen and learn some old pirate slang with the least pirate-looking people ever. Scurvy lubbers, the lot of us.

One of Yellowknife's most beloved and longstanding bars dropped a BOMBSHELL when the building went up for sale yesterday. Save the Raven!

Whether it's a high school capsule or a scheduled flight, time thieves are all around us and they will not be stopped.

How many tourists visit Bronze Age relics? With our limited knowledge, we'll tell you.

The owners of One of a Thai are heading to Toronto today to compete on Family Feud Canada! They're about to air their "dirty laundry" on national TV... but there's only one question we really want answered: How is your food SO ridiculously good?! And if they ask for the secret ingredient... we fully support pleading the fifth.

With so much going on this weekend, the one thing Wheeler and Jasmine can't stop thinking about is the BBQ!

Some weather reports are indicating there may be funnel cloud activity over a large swath of the NWT. But don't get too excited. Certainly not as excited as Lekter might get over a mispronounced name.

Were you aware that the Commonwealth games were still happening? Well, thanks to Gabriel Langton, I don't think we'll ever forget again.

Snow in July?! Lekter talks Christmas in July as snow blankets the NWT, while Jasmine slowly catches on to what it all means.

The more time Lekter spends with Jasmine, the more concerned he becomes about her. From an obsession with watching people eat, to her very odd sleep schedule...and NOW...a video trend-turned-movie that sounds reminiscent of a Windows '95 screensaver.

Is it one bear moving around town? Is it several? Is it Bhante Andrew riding a bear, or perhaps, traveling with a bear entourage in and out of town for their daily alms??

Maybe it was the smoke fogging up our brains. Perhaps the dust clogging up our lungs. Or a unique sort of hazy brew concocted by the combination...but there have been some boners.

The 46th annual Folk on the Rocks was a huge success. BIG big thanks, as always, to all of those who make this festival so special.

We've floated, and now we're flying, head-first into Folk on the Rocks!

Hannah and Luke from the legendary Cows Go Moo join the show this morning to talk about their upcoming return to the Folk on the Rocks stage this weekend, and why it's their favourite place in the world to play!

It's only a controversy if you admit that something controversial has occurred. Otherwise, it's just business.

We've got new podcast ideas for Mooresy. Either: David Wilcox: a deep dive OR "The Birds and the Bees" with Mooresy, Reid Hildebrandt and Taz Stuart. 

Actor Sam Neill, also known by an entire generation of Milliennials as Dr. Alan Grant, has passed away. Very sad day, but to quote his iconic Jurassic Park character, "the point is, you are alive when they start to eat you."

Only ONE WEEK until FOLK ON THE ROCKS. Like Harrison Ford, we're getting frantic!

Jasmine feels that she may be easily scammed. Lekter likely would have been scammed just last week, had the scammer not lost confidence midway through the scam.

Every once in a while, we need to take a step back. Get away from the doom and gloom. Close the comments. Touch grass. Or in this case, a stand-up paddleboard. With your cat.

A runaway ferry at the Peel river crossing has caused headaches and delays. Or, adventures and "will make for a good story", depending on how you want to look at it!

Comedian Henry Sir played two shows at the Underground this past weekend and...well...he was great. As was MOST of the audience.

Two weeks until Warm the Rocks Friday! Folk on the Rocks Executive Director, Teresa Horosko joins the show to chat about what's going on, what's coming up, as well as a look back to last year's ELECTRIFYING Warm the Rocks night.

For the purposes of Cabin Radio's Northern Knockout bracket, 'Canada Day' has been rebranded.

When Taz Stuart talks mosquitos, we listen. Then swat. And then continue listening. 

The Cabin Radio news team has DONE IT AGAIN. They've managed to make the Fifa World Cup tournament exciting and relevant to the entirety of the NWT. AND left out Yellowknife. Bravo!

The annual Survivor: Yellowknife edition game wrapped up this past weekend at Prelude Lake. Do you have what it takes to be next year's champ?!

When elected officials "break" the news, trust in "the news" tends to become broken.

Weeks ago, it was announced that an NWT resident had won 2.5 million on the lotto 649. Wheeler unofficially claimed it. Turns out, that doesn't mean anything.

But it's also worth celebrating, as Yellowknife's "Franklin avenue" has now, officially, been renamed, "Wıìlıìdeh avenue."
