Mornings at the Cabin

The guys chatted with Bran and Belinda to get all the latest and greatest in this year's Yellowknife International film Fest. Oh, and of course... they talked about the Jay's game.

That's it folks! we have our finalists for this year's Adult Spelling Bee. Don't miss the finals at the Top Knight on Oct 4th. Entry by donation, a donation over $20 enters you in for a draw prize, first come first serve. Thank you to our sponsors and see you there!

We're down to the FINAL 4. Who will be the last two competitors to PUNCH THEIR TICKET (tm) to the Adult Spelling Bee Final?!

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??

We're used to seeing BITTER rivals square off in their hopeful quests to become the next Adult Spelling Bee world champions...but this morning, it was all love. And a little profanity.

GAME 10! Only 5 left to go as the road to the ASB2 finale winds it's way to an epic finish!

Game 9 of the round-robin featured a couple of second chances: a botched ruling in Game 7 that may have cost Ryan Planche a chance at going to a tie-breaker (oopsie) has brought him back to face Garrett Hinchey, who seeks redemption from last year's Adult Spelling Bee!

We're at the halfway mark of the ASB2 round-robins! An 8th finalist looks to PUNCH THEIR TICKET to the October 4th finale!

You know that old saying that goes, "making mistakes is how we learn," right? Well here at Mornings at the Cabin, we just keep on learning.

The Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robins continue all through this week and next! And Game 6 had us jumping out of our seats this morning!!

GAME 5!! A definite conflict of interest jeopardizes the sacred integrity of the Adult Spelling Bee competition...as Cabin Radio lawyer and saviour Toby Kruger steps into the studio. Will his competitor, Jessica Harte, be able to overcome these incredible odds?!

The Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robins are HEATING UP. This morning's match was an absolute barn-burner, as one of last year's top 3 finalists, Katrina Leonardis, returned to take on newcomer John Inglis!

Adult Spelling Bee 2: Game 3 - One of last year's finale competitors, the Spelling 'Bee' himself, Phil Boulton RETURNS for another shot at glory! But first, he'll have to get past newcomer Margot Remnant!

Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robin GAME 2 featured a couple ASB newcomers vying for a spot in the grand finale! Benjamin Karstad squares off against Ryan Walsh!

ADULT SPELLING BEE 2 IS HERE. The round-robins got underway this morning...and we're feeling the buzz!

Adult Spelling Bee 2 round-robin starts next week! This year's exhibition round has not been kind to Wheeler...but this morning...he gets ONE MORE SHOT.

The Alberta Government has recently been under fire for releasing a proposed list of books to be banned from school libraries, with titles from the legend, Margaret Atwood, among them. Big mistake.

The breakfast wars have been dormant for some time now, with Kellogs reigning supreme. But an aggressive assault from the General Mills camp threatens to throw everything into disarray...

We lost a true legend yesterday. If you don't recognize the name, you will certainly recognize the face. It was everywhere, and likely brought at least one smile to yours.

Finally...The reigning, DEFENDING, Adult Spelling Bee world champion HAS COME BACK to Cabin Radio.

No, not "signs that you are getting old," (although there are plenty of those on this show everyday) but OLD SIGNS! From Yellowknife businesses of a bygone era! Got any??

The Yellowknife Solid Waste Facility Amnesty Days is in danger of being DUMPED. Yes...yes, that'll do.

You want these frequent power outages to end, Yellowknife? Then upgrade your plan to POWER PLUS! Or, take it to the next level with the new POWER PLUS PREMIUM.

We just had the nicest weekend of weather that we've seen all summer in Yellowknife, so it's probably time to look ahead toward winter.

Yesterday on Home to the Cabin, Jay Bear followed up on our YK drivers rant with a few driving pet peeves of his own. Let's keep the blood boiling! What else to YK drivers suck at?!

The City of YK is hosting a Splash Bash to celebrate the grand opening of the new Aquatic Centre! Look for us somewhere down the laaazy river.

It's officially sign-up time! Cabin Radio's Adult Spelling Bee 2 competition is seeking out the territory's biggest know-it-alls and smarty-pantses!

Not only is this apparently a real world, but also a real creature! AND a real cute children's book!

Objectively, it may have been the nicest goal in Canada Summer Games history. Subjectively, it's the GOAT.

Can you have too much rizz in one studio? Cabin Radio bussin this morning fr fr.

A locally shot (no pun intended) and posted "music video" featuring mostly fellas and guns has been raising eyebrows, and has now triggered (again, sorry) a police investigation.

Is "Home" by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros the worst song of all-time? Or is it simply suffering from a bit of Nickelback syndrome (i.e. too popular to tolerate)?

...But there's always a chance it could sleep in.

Back in the 90's, when FM radio was already a well-established medium, we were just being introduced to the wonderful world of dial-up internet. Now, one is about to die. Try to guess which!

Cabin Radio got Zuck'd. Again. So what do we do now? We march right back in there and create yet another Facebook page! Because we know, "Yellowknife runs on 'bookin."

Chrissie is headed west. We shall miss her dearly.

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.
