Mornings at the Cabin

Did you grow up watching North of 60? Or have you spent some or the majority of your life LIVING North of 60? Well then HOLY MOLY do we have a podcast reco for you!

To summarize Saturday Night's Santa Claus parade broadcast on Cabin Radio: The Grinch showed up late, The Grinch got angry, Santa Claus warmed his icy heart...and Krampus creeped out everyone.

Let's hear it for the unsung heroes! The rhythmless role models! The backstage beauts! Yes, the modern dance dad is truly a marvelous creature.

K'atl'oDeeche First Nation has released it's highly anticipated 2025 community banned list! If you didn't make the cut...better luck next year.

They bang on tong-tinglers, blow their foo-flounders, crash on jang-jinglers and bounce on boing-bounders! And now, they're looking to do it with extended hours.

Craft market season is in FULL SWING. Earrings flying off the artist tables as fast as they can make them. Meanwhile, Wheeler needs to pierce or get off the pot.

In most of Canada, harvest season is long over. But in Snowking country, the harvest begins now!

It's time to announce the prize winners for Burger Week 2025! Well...not all of them. Not on this show at least. There are too many! And Wheeler is very susceptible to paper cuts!

A changed man. Older. Wiser. Exhausted. Having now done a full-on solo travel with his young son. His eyes are open. And bloodshot.

It's Challenge Cup time!

You know him as the North's most trusted newsman. But have you seen him as the North's least trusted woodsman?

They might have gotten the score wrong. None of the stats have been vetted. And they definitely didn't watch the game. But Wheeler and Jasmine did their best to recap the 112th Grey Cup anyway.

Winter is here. Christmas is coming. The goose is getting fat. Please shop local for an old man's hat.

Your 2025 Folk on the Rocks Artist in Residence, Justine Giles, dropped by the Cabin this morning to chat music, her upcoming Yellowknife shows, and of course, play a tune!

Wheeler has thrown down the challenge. It's up to you to eat the burgers. No no, not just a couple. It's up to you to eat ALL THE BURGERS.

We don't have a running tally, advanced stats, or anything else official to back up this claim...BUT...the early polling suggest that this is going to be the BIGGEST YK BURGER WEEK YET.

A big weekend lies ahead with shows, movies and burgers galore! But also, Tik Tok trends. We're never prepared for those. Luckily we have Jasmine around to help.

They're not always great. In fact, often times they're not even good. But Gremlins 3?...well. Let's just say we're expecting better than Happy Gilmore 2.

YKIFF starts TONIGHT. Burger Week begins TODAY. Parcel of Rogues starts another run of shows for Pantalone Runs for Mayor TOMORROW. OH MY.

Wheeler's heart is slowly healing. But the grieving process is still in early stages. Only 146 days til next season.

The 19th annual Yellowknife International Film Festival kicks off THIS WEEK. Pair that with Burger Week kicking off THE SAME DAY and you've got yourself one hell of a date night lined up.

Forget everything you thought you knew about the night before Halloween. Or, at least, forget everything you thought Lekter knew about the night before Halloween.

Parcel of Rogues is putting on TWO shows in less than TWO weeks, and they want you to come have fun with them! Rocky Horror runs TOMORROW through November 1st, followed by Pantalone Runs for Mayor, November 6-8!

Whether it's seeing a shooting star and making a very unselfish wish, or getting a flu/covid vaccine double-shot and feeling like crap the next day for your community, there are many ways to be a superstar!

Our quaint little town of Yellowknife has been made that much more quaint and little as part of Toronto's Little Canada exhibit. Also featured: Little Tuk!

Game 1 of the biggest World Series in HISTORY goes down tonight in Toronto. And, breaking news: Lekter has a controversial opinion on a movie you might love.

A thick cloud of smoke billowed from just outside of downtown Yellowknife yesterday afternoon, which turned out to be coming from a wall tent fire at an encampment site. Luckily, nobody was injured. And online reaction was, as always, measured.

After a hiatus last October, Boolesque is officially back in it's spooky home at Top Knight. Legendary Boo host Rex Holmes joined us this morning to gently guide any newbies (or remind any vets) on how to be a good Burlesque show audience member.

Ok Blue Jays...OK. We see you. And all of us not named Jesse Wheeler are booking our seats on the bandwagon! (Wheeler, of course, being the driver)

Meet Lenny. A baby muskox in the brand new children's book,"Maww! Maww!" Finally, Yellowknife has a local muskox mascot that EVERYONE can feel comfortable rallying around!

The 112th Grey Cup halftime show performer has been announced! You heard of Eminem??? Well...THIS guy feuded with him once! Briefly!

As you're already well aware, dear listener, in the not too distant future, Cabin Radio will 'go' FM. But apparently, we're not the only ones planning to 'go' FM!

It's almost time for Yellowknife's favourite event! It's time f--what? Oh, no, sorry, it's not Ribfest. IT'S BURGER WEEK!

This thanksgiving, Wheeler found out what Billy Bob Thornton really meant by his infamous hot take on Canadian audiences. Remember that?! When he said we're like mashed potatoes without the gravy!?....No?..

AJ had his first rec volleyball AND rec hockey games of the season this week. And he's feeling every minute of them.

Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robin favourite Tineke Kippers re-joins the show! But not to spell words poorly, no, THIS time SHE'LL be the judge!

Rush recently announced a brand new tour. Wheeler and Lekter are excited. Mooresy is not.

The Adult Spelling Bee 2 Finale BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN. All hail your now TWO-TIME, TWO-TIME Adult Spelling Bee Champion of the WORLLLLLD, Jacki McKinnon!!!

Only 3 round-robin games left before the October 4th GRAND FINALE. Who will punch their ticket this morning as lucky entrant 13??

THE CHAMP IS HERE....But... after Jacki McKinnon's woeful showing in a pre-round-robin exhibition match against Wheeler (in which she still won)...is there reason to doubt that she's READY??
