This week, we are back with part 2 of a “…Shoulda Been Huge!!!” episode for Halifax, NS, Canada's very own: SLOAN! We covered the years 1992-2001 back in Ep. 348; this time we bring you up to date with releases from 2003 to 2025. Sloan is the quintessential Canadian power-pop act—that blends '70s hard rock riffs, Beatles-esque vocal harmonies, and indie rock grit has won them gold albums and a Juno in their home country. We think it is a grave mistake that they are not as revered everywhere in the world!This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that Kevin has been a fan of since discovering their first album back in 1993. Robert is less familiar with their impressive discography, so join him if this is an unknown for you. We think they should be remembered alongside the likes of other Canadian treasures like RUSH and TRIUMPH!Songs this week include:1. Sloan – “Ready For You” from Action Pact (2003)2. Sloan – “Living With The Masses / HFXNSHC” from Never Hear The End Of It (2006)3. Sloan – “The Other Side” from Parallel Play (2008)4. Sloan – “I've Gotta Know” from The Double Cross (2011)5. Sloan – “You Don't Need Excuses To Be Good” from Commonwealth (2014)6. Sloan – “Spin Our Wheels” from 12 (2018)7. Sloan – “Scratch The Surface” from Steady (2022)8. Sloan – “Capital Cooler” from Based On The Best Seller (2025)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://bonelesspodcasting.com/shows/in-obscuriahttps://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://x.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it: InObscuria StoreCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

August 20th, 2016. Kingston. Thirteen songs into the last set The Tragically Hip ever played, and 'Putting Down' made the cut.Track four on "Music @ Work" (2000), the second of two records Steve Berlin made with the boys, and the one that took home the 2001 Juno for Best Rock Album (per Wikipedia and Discogs, still owed a HipMuseum or This Is Our Life cross-check). It sits at 143 out of 169 on the TTHTop40 Countdown, a deep cut by that measure alone. Then the Facebook group poll came back and the ranking didn't survive contact with the room: like or love landing somewhere in the 80s or 90s percent, by the panel's own count. Justin's read: run the original poll again with a fan base twice the size it was when it ran, and 143 doesn't happen.It's a callback week too. This same song turned up at Historic Fort York on June 24th, 2006, four songs ahead of 'No Threat,' the track this show covered last week (per setlist.fm).The lyrics get worked over three different ways before anybody lands close to the same page. Indigenous reconciliation, read through "the documented indigenous" and "civilization flipped its desk." A career-long metaphor about writing itself, "paint and sketch" as the whole method. And a theory about the United State of Ricochet that might be about atomic particles, might be about Gord catching flack for something he said, might be neither. Nobody wins the argument. Everybody's a little bit right, which tracks for a Gord Downie lyric.WHAT ELSE IS IN HEREBreck's debut, and the two words he reaches for before anything else about the song: crispy and classic.The unsteeped teabag. What Breck gets called mid-episode, and why it sticks.A grade five teacher with an alarming approach to desk discipline, and the times tables it apparently taught for life.The case for Gord Sinclair's harmonies being the most underrated thing on the whole record. Justin makes it twice, unprompted.End of summer picks. Justin's answer is this song itself, which is the whole reason he's in the chair this week. Breck goes with 'Ahead By A Century'. Toots goes with 'Lake Fever', the track right before this one on the record."I feel this tune and I know all the words and I can sing all the words, but it doesn't mean that I understand them." Justin, more or less summing up the whole hour.Next week the wheel lands on 'Vaccination Scar,' from "In Between Evolution."THE PANELBreck from Reno. First time in the chair. A musician (formerly of Trouble Show) who hears the interplay between Paul and Rob before he hears anything else. Plays Sagebrush Sounds in Winnemucca, Nevada this month, put on by High Desert Habit, with new music of his own coming this fall.Toots from Whitby. Back again. A pro gigging drummer, twenty years alongside Matthew Holpe, with a sold-out barn show called September Songs on the 12th and a new project debuting October 30th, his 50th birthday, at Melanie Pringles in Whitby.Justin from Bridport, Vermont. Back again, and showed up having already decided this was his song of the summer before jD even asked the question. Announces Sprint Cars of New England at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, and helps run the Vermont Motorsports Hall of Fame, which names its 2026 class in early October at the Milk Bowl, Thunder Road.GEDFEST TORONTO - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17The Horseshoe Tavern, with Grace, 2.

Toronto musician Emily Steinwall grew up on classic rock, but her teenage years brought a new obsession: jazz saxophone. That passion led her to study under the legendary Juno Award-winning saxophonist Kirk MacDonald, who became a lifelong mentor to her. So years later, when it came time to record her latest album, Emily knew exactly who to call. She joins Q guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about her collaboration with Kirk and the enduring power of a musical education. Her new album, But, there's beauty in the fall from Grace, is out now.

Not everybody's seeing eye to eye in the southern Alberta community of Little Bow, just outside Vulcan. Some residents opposed to the project are taking their local government to court (see our August 6 episode), while others say it's an opportunity to create jobs, increase tax revenue, and repurpose less-than-ideal farmland. This is part of a bigger conversation about the future of Alberta's innovation economy, and the trade-offs that go with it. Former Wildrose MLA and farmer Ian Donovan tells us why he's backing the Little Bow AI Data Centre in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY.

Matriarch Movement Podcast — Season 6: Indigenous Voices of This Generation Multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter Aysanabee joins Shayla Oulette Stonechild on the Matriarch Movement podcast for a conversation that moves from a trailer with no electricity in rural Ontario to the Juno Awards stage. Aysanabee opens up about growing up between Sandy Lake First Nation and a series of small northern communities, teaching himself guitar in the forest as a kid, and working in remote mining camps from age 12 - including two near-death experiences with a bear, a wolf pack, and falling through frozen ice, a moment that pushed him to finally commit to music. He shares the story behind his Polaris-shortlisted, Juno Award–winning debut album - a project born from daily pandemic phone calls with his grandfather, a residential school survivor, that turned into recorded interviews and ultimately an album that helped his grandfather find peace before he passed. Aysanabee also talks about the $40 application fee that led to a record deal over a socially-distanced "Zoom dinner," playing 184 shows in a single year, the emotional weight of representing a national reckoning around residential schools, and his recent trip to Taiwan, where he discovered strikingly similar songs, dances, and reclamation journeys among Indigenous communities on the other side of the world. The conversation closes with his hopes for the future of Indigenous music including his dream of seeing a global Indigenous pop star and a preview of what's next as he heads into the mountains to write his follow-up to his latest release, Edge of the Earth. @_aysanabee_ https://www.aysanabee.com https://www.tiktok.com/@aysanabee Learn more about your ad choices.

Juno Award-winning artist, vocalist and trumpeter Bria Skonberg, shares the breadth of her vocal expression on her latest release ‘Indigo', the anticipated partner to ‘Brass', her earlier 2026 trumpet-centered album. Co-produced by Skonberg and her longtime collaborator, Matt Pierson,  ‘Indigo' is a celebration of song, singing, and orchestrating for all the colors of her vocal artistry. Asked frequently whether she's a singer who plays trumpet or a trumpet player who sings, Bria says she's “partly neither, and both entirely.” It's a revelation from the artist who The New York Times calls “the shining hope of hot jazz.”  Join me for my conversation with Bria as we explore the significance and meaning to her of the vocal side of jazz. 

This week, a band we've featured and often discussed on the show finally gets their due! Therefore, we give you part 1 of a “…Shoulda Been Huge!!!” episode for Halifax, NS, Canada's very own: SLOAN.

How do you celebrate the 10th anniversary of an album that went gold, won a Juno Award, represents an artistic breakthrough, and seemingly foretold the deeply divided, disconnected world we inhabit today? Well, if you're the band July Talk, you take those songs on a cross-country tour, you record the whole album again, ten years later...and you release the secret second entire album that you recorded a decade ago, but never put out. Leah Fay Goldstein and Peter Dreimanis from July Talk join us for a very special Hidden Track Session, recorded live in CKUA's Studio A in Edmonton. CREDITS Executive Producer: Arianne Smith-Piquette Senior Producer: Jasmine Vickaryous, Bronson Kashino Associate Producers: Scott Zielsdorf Host: Grant Stovel Music: Doug Hoyer Graphics: Tomas Spasiuk Special thanks to CKUA's Events and Marketing teams.

Les Louanges (a.k.a. Vincent Roberge) is one of the defining francophone artists of his generation in Québec, and yet he's almost entirely unknown to anglophone Canada. He's got two Juno Awards for francophone album of the year, and now his latest album, Alouette!, has been shortlisted for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize. Les Louanges joins Q guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about the stories that inspired his critically acclaimed new album, how listening to Leonard Cohen helped him write concise songs, and how taking care of his dying father-in-law helped him find his identity.

Mariel Buckley is here to discuss her album Strange Trip Ahead, her busy summer festival circuit, what winning the 2026 Juno Award for Contemporary Roots Album of the Year in Canada has meant to her, how some folks miss the humour in her emotional, personal songwriting, her fondness for Calgary but also why she wound up night writing songs in Edmonton, her musical family, being a huge fan of Gord Downie and seeing the Tragically Hip many, many times, why her own music might be getting louder, playing the Edmonton Folk Music Festival and tour dates with Bahamas, other future plans, and much more.EVERY OTHER COMPLETE KREATIVE KONTROL EPISODE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE TO PATREON SUPPORTERS STARTING AT $6/MONTH.

Last weekend, Lollapalooza rolled into my front yard in Chicago, and in this Series, I'll be featuring the interviews I did with a handful of amazing artists playing this giant festival. For this Part 1, I was especially psyched to mark the occasion by first sitting down with my friend, the amazing and inspiring Goldie Boutilier, who's making her third appearance on the show.Since Goldie's last interview for Roadcase in December 2024, she has been absolutely crushing it and I couldn't be happier about her accomplishments. She was recently nominated for a Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year, made her TV debut on the Kelly Clarkson Show, opened for Katy Perry on the European leg of her World Tour late last year, and also had her song “King of Possibilities” featured as the theme song for the Netflix Series “The Hunting Wives.” These are major accomplishments by any measure, but when you understand Goldie's life story, her continual rise becomes even more impressive.Goldie talks to me about her constant evolution and transformation from a dreamer to a doer, the impact of being a role model for her fans, how owning her trauma and seeing herself in others has made her feel less alone, and we explore how her overcoming doubt and fear to conquer new challenges has made her even stronger. Goldie's inspiring story is one of survival, resilience, grit, determination and self-belief — and I'm proud to have her on the show once again!!  You can click on the link in the bio to find it. It's a very special conversation and I cannot wait for you to give it a listen. =======================================Chapters:00:00 - Episode Intro with Host Josh Rosenberg03:55 - Introducing Goldie's inspiring story04:46 - Redefining manifestation through perseverance and resilience05:38 - How two years transformed Goldie's perception of time and achievement06:37 - The practicality behind fashion and persona as part of her healing journey07:38 - Reflecting on her industry milestones: opening for Katy Perry and TV debut09:17 - The evolution from revenge pop to resilient and healing pop music10:51 - The significance of her past struggles and how they inform her artistry11:46 - Connecting with fans through vulnerability and shared trauma13:18 - Using storytelling to impact others and promote healing14:57 - The importance of authenticity versus appearance—navigating fashion and art15:39 - How her persona layers with her genuine self, creating a multi-dimensional artist17:35 - The power of venues like the Troubadour and meaningful fan interactions19:17 - Sharing her long road of recovery and triumph over past hardships21:46 - The role of community and shared experience in her music's reach23:20 - The impact of landmark achievements like opening for major artists and licensing success24:46 - Overcoming doubt and celebrating her success with awards and recognition26:10 - The importance of expressing gratitude to supporting family and community26:48 - Her upcoming album "The Godmother" and its themes of maternal care and spiritual resilience28:42 - The healing power of dance and upbeat music in her new projects29:50 - Reflecting on her alter ego Goldie Montana as a symbol of bravery and transformation31:59 - The extraordinary impact of her song on "The Hunting Wives"33:10 - Experiences touring with Katy Perry and lessons learned from the interaction36:00 - Navigating the challenge of connecting with fans and managing DMs37:31 - The significance of the Troubadour show and its emotional resonance39:06 - The comfort of community and shared understanding with her audience39:56 - Embracing authenticity and the journey from hardship to rainbow-colored resilience41:06 - Episode Wrap-up with Host Josh Rosenberg=======================================For more information on Goldie and tour dates: https://www.goldieenterprises.com/=======================================For more information on Roadcase:https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

At some point we all feel the squeeze of the clock. On this episode, from the Now or Never archives, every story is a race against time.If you get lost in B.C.'s wilderness, search and rescue volunteer Evan Johnson jumps into action, knowing he's in a race against time that can mean the difference between life and death. As an Afghanistan vet, Evan's seen what no one should. So why would someone with PTSD volunteer to do this job?When Zeda Ali isn't counting out beats for her students on the steel pan, she's counting down the days to what could be the biggest moment of her career: the 55th Juno Awards. Zeda is one of five teachers from across the country nominated for the music teacher of the year award. She tells us what a win – and a substantial cash prize – would mean to her students in Brampton, Ont. While most people his age are looking to the future, 26-year-old Zach Dunn is working to preserve the past. For the last five years he's traveled the country recording stories from WWII veterans, before it's too late. And that's because Zach knows from personal experience what it feels like to miss out on the chance to hear these stories first-hand. Amy Cameron and Joe Ross had plans to spend their retirement years biking, traveling and living life to the fullest. But when Amy was suddenly diagnosed with early onset dementia, they realized that their future was going to look different. Now the two are living life together knowing that at some point, the brain disorder will fully take over.

On the Saturday August 1, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet Jess Gibson. She is a Canadian-born writer (daughter of Margaret Atwood and the late Graeme Gibson), art historian with a Yale PhD, who has lived all over the world. Her first book “The Good Eye” is already generating buzz as a sharp, original, and “bewitching” debut. The stories explore themes like perception vs. reality, the limits of what we “see,” betrayal, revenge, and everyday life tilting into the strange or magical. Then, we meet Juno Award-winning R&B/soul singer, actress Divine Brown. She broke through in 2005 with the hit single "Old Skool Love", which topped Canadian radio charts and earned a SOCAN No. 1 Song Award. Her self-titled debut album followed as an underground success, and her second album, The Love Chronicles (2008), won the Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year. She has toured with the Backstreet Boys, contributed vocals to Drake’s Take Care, and can now be seen in staged concert The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen Experience, playing at the CAA Theatre on Yonge Street in Toronto until August 16, 2026.

Her first book “The Good Eye” is already generating buzz as a sharp, original, and “bewitching” debut. The stories explore themes like perception vs. reality, the limits of what we “see,” betrayal, revenge, and everyday life tilting into the strange or magical. Then, we meet Juno Award-winning R&B/soul singer, actress Divine Brown. She broke through in 2005 with the hit single "Old Skool Love", which topped Canadian radio charts and earned a SOCAN No. 1 Song Award. Her self-titled debut album followed as an underground success, and her second album, The Love Chronicles (2008), won the Juno Award for Best R&B/Soul Album of the Year. She has toured with the Backstreet Boys, contributed vocals to Drake's Take Care, and can now be seen in staged concert The Secret Chord: A Leonard Cohen Experience, playing at the CAA Theatre on Yonge Street in Toronto until August 16, 2026.

jD convenes the expert panel to dissect "700 Ft Ceiling," the song that lands like a baseball bat to the face right in the middle of Trouble at the Henhouse.The conversation starts warm — everyone's summertime Hip pick, from "Membership" to "Morning Moon" to "Summer's Killing Us" — before turning to the puzzle at the centre of the track: what exactly is a 700-foot ceiling? (Aviation term. Lowest layer of broken or overcast cloud sitting 700 feet above ground.)The panel unpacks Gord's habit of collecting phrases for their sound rather than their meaning, the wintery outdoor-rink imagery, and the Lou Reed-flat melody that barely distinguishes verse from chorus.Things get spicy on placement. Tracy calls it filler and skips it. Mikk and Jamie agree the song detonates a gorgeous opening run — "Gift Shop," "Springtime in Vienna," "Ahead by a Century," "Don't Wake Daddy," "Flamenco" — and kicks off what Jamie dubs the album's weird second half alongside "Butts Wigglin'" and "Coconut Cream." The Kids in the Hall theory gets floated. So does the grunge theory. Everyone concedes it hit much harder live than it ever did on record.Then the episode's real gift: Mick and Jamie tell the story of renting the Bathhouse for a weekend — sleeping in the studio, playing pool while spinning We Are the Same on vinyl, Billy Ray wandering in at 10pm with stories, engineer Niles behind the board, Gord's training bike still parked where he left it. Once-in-a-lifetime stuff, told well.Next week's shuffle: "Gus: The Polar Bear from Central Park" from In Between Evolution.Key Quotes"It's like an alarm clock goes off." — Mik, on where the song lands on the album"It is like a baseball bat in the face." — jD"Think about how many shows they played after 2004 that they did not play this song. That's why it ranks low. Guys, I'm telling it like it is." — Jamie"I think this is kind of Gord's secret talent — he listens better than everybody." — Mik"He says '700-foot ceiling' like four times, but the second or third time it's '700 and sinking,' which is just cool." — Jamie"It kind of felt very lived in. There was nothing you couldn't touch, nothing you couldn't sit on." — Mik, on the Bathhouse"I'll get emotional if I talk about it." — Jamie, on being shown the band's jam space"Well, I know what we forgot to do this week.

Mohawk DJ and music producer Shub (formerly DJ Shub) is part of the innovative force behind the “Powwow-Step” genre, a fusion of electronic styles like dance, dubstep, hip-hop, and traditional Indigenous music. Shub further explores his signature sound and pushes its potential to new heights on his latest album, “Heritage (Part Two)”. Listeners can expect party-ready tracks, chopped powwow samples, ambient soundscapes, and collaborations with Juno Award-winning Oji-Cree artist Aysanabee and legendary Three 6 Mafia member DJ Paul.  Heavy electronic musician Aaron Wallace, also known as Darksiderz, blends hard dance and industrial music to create a chaotic soundtrack fit for a vampire nightclub.

Montreal-born, Nashville-based Allison Russell is a Grammy- and Juno Award-winning singer-songwriter, actor, and human rights advocate. Her new album is called In the Hour of Chaos, and on it, she taps friends and collaborators to help her make sense of a world in chaos, and to find solace in the joy of creating.

Metric is a band from Canada that was formed in 1998. They've won four Juno Awards, including Group of the Year. Rolling Stone included them in their list of the 50 Greatest Canadian Artists of All Time. In April 2026, Metric released their 10th album, Romanticize the Dive.

Vancouver's bbno$ has racked up millions of followers across platforms for his funny raps and witty commentary on internet culture today. After going viral in 2019, he's managed to keep the success going with a string of hits that have landed him two Juno Awards, a slot on Jimmy Kimmel Live and the ability to tour the world. bbno$ joins Tom Power in studio to talk about how a rugby injury led to him starting his music career, the cost of being online all the time, and why he thinks his work resonates with audiences.

Pharis and Jason Romero are a folk/bluegrass duo behind both their Juno Award-winning music and their wildly in-demand banjos. In their workshop in the tiny, remote B.C. town of Horsefly, they make highly sought-after banjos, so coveted there are years-long waitlists for them. Pharis and Jason talk to Tom about raising their little family in the wilderness, the workshop and recording studio where the magic happens, and how a love story that started with music is now raising a sixth generation in a very special place.

Juno Award winner Divine Brown is giving flowers to one of her heroes, Minnie Riperton. Divine's live concert stage show, Lovin' You: The Minnie Riperton Story, is coming to Toronto's Luminato Festival this month. Though Minnie Riperton died when she was just 31, Divine tells Tom Power how the five-octave range singer was still able to make such an important impact on music, one that stretches right through to today.

Porto" Over their nearly twenty-album history, the Canadian outfit 5440 have proven themselves to be one of the most enduring rock and roll bands of all time. Their career highlights are numerous, so bear with this partial list of their achievements. They've been nominated for 8 Juno Awards, have had #1 singles and Gold albums in Canada, had their song "I Go Blind" covered by Hootie and the Blowfish and have toured all over the world. The band's new album Porto is the perfect addition to their fabulous discography. Filled with melodic crunch, introspective lyrics and some of the catchiest songs of the year, Porto reinforces the power and enduring quality of this legendary band. The partnership and friendship of singer Neil Osborne and bassist Brad Merrit is the secret to what makes 5440 tick and this chat addresses that and a lot more. This is a great chat and Brad couldn't be a nicer guy, so enjoy this conversation. www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com Stereo Embers: IG + THREADS + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

There's a very personal story behind P.E.I. singer-songwriter Jenn Grant's new song, Jim Cuddy Dress. Jenn sits down with Tom Power in the Q studio to talk about meeting Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo at the 2012 Juno Awards with her late mother, how she honoured one of her final wishes, and all the ways her mother turned some tough times in Jenn's childhood into adventures.

Ahead of the 55th Juno Awards in Hamilton, Ont., Tom Power hosted a special live audience taping of Q at the historic Theatre Aquarius in Hamilton. In this episode, you'll hear interviews and performances from that night featuring musicians like Sister Ray and Jade LeMac, and comedian Adam Christie.You can find the first part of this live show, featuring on-stage interviews and performances from Begonia, the cast of It's a Good Life if You Don't Weaken, and TOBi, Jully Black and Saukrates, here.

Interview Date: March 22nd, 2026Episode Summary:In this episode, Menina Fortunato sits down with choreographer and movement director Mark Samuels for a conversation about persistence, timing, and carving out your own path in the dance industry. Mark shares how he started out as a self-taught dancer in Toronto, learning choreography by recording music videos on VHS tapes and studying them frame by frame long before YouTube or social media existed.He opens up about his early years dancing with Luther Brown's group Do Dat, how that experience launched his professional career, and the bold move that changed everything: cold-calling contacts connected to a music video he loved until one of those calls led him to New York for a Mariah Carey project. Mark also reflects on the importance of saying yes, staying versatile, building relationships, and continuing to train beyond your comfort zone. From assisting Paul Becker for years to choreographing recent major projects like the Juno Awards, Mark's story is a reminder that longevity in this industry comes from talent, initiative, and consistency.Show Notes0:01 — Mark's dance career and major credits intro2:45 — Learning dance from VHS and MuchMusic10:33 — Joining Luther Brown's Do Dat crew13:15 — Early paid gigs and touring Canada17:40 — Assisting Paul Becker for years in film21:05 — Mariah Carey story begins with cold-calling34:36 — “Say yes and figure it out”45:22 — Biggest mistake: not training in more styles57:56 — “Contacts equals contracts” career lesson1:33:31 — Slow growth, patience, and next goals matterIn the early days of his career, Mark danced for countless Canadian artists such as Shawn Desman, Jully Black, Maestro Fresh Wes and Nelly Furtado to name a few.

Photo: Utqiagvik coast in June 2022. (Alena Naiden) Arctic sea ice has been shrinking in recent decades, reaching record lows both in summer and in winter. A new study shows a continuation of this trend: ice is sticking to Alaska's northern shores for less time than it used to. Researchers say this can have implications for the climate, resource development, and subsistence hunting. The Alaska Desk's Alena Naiden from our flagship station KNBA reports. Andrew Mahoney is a research professor at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute. In January, he and his colleague published a study in the “Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans”. It focused on the ice that attaches to the shores of Alaska's northern coast, called landfast ice. They found that over nearly three decades, the landfast ice in Alaska's Arctic is forming later, breaking up earlier, and not reaching as far offshore. “So it’s sort of shrinking in time, and it’s shrinking in space as well.” Mahoney previously looked at the landfast ice in Chukchi and Beaufort seas in a study published in 2014. At that time, the Chukchi Sea seemed to experience more ice loss, while the Beaufort Sea seemed more stable. This year's study showed that that has changed. “Now we’re starting to see changes in the Beaufort Sea, that the Beaufort Sea of today is not the Beaufort Sea of the 1970s. Mahoney says that while landfast ice is only a small fraction of the overall ice cover, it is the type of ice most people come in contact with. Indigenous communities have used it for millennia to hunt – like whalers in Utqiagvik in spring. “A large fraction of the community, at any one time might actually be out on the land fast ice actively whaling, and the success of that whale hunt is in part related to how accessible and how stable and safe the land fast ice is.” He added that the oil and gas industry also uses landfast ice to build seasonal ice roads to connect to facilities. His team's study was funded by the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, with the interest of oil and gas development near shore. And when landfast ice breaks up earlier in spring, coastal communities lose a shield protecting them from the open water and waves. “There’s a lot of erosion affecting these communities. Most of it happens in the fall, but we could start to see more erosion happening in the springtime if landfast Ice keeps breaking up earlier.” The Arctic has been warming four times faster than the rest of the world. The recent landfast ice decline might be related to the overall thinning of Arctic sea ice due to climate change. But more research is needed to better understand the process behind it. Orlando Carroll was elected chairman of the White Mountain Apache Tribe on April 1, 2026. (Courtesy Orlando Carroll for WMAT Chairman) It was just election day for the 15,000-member White Mountain Apache Tribe. As KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio reports, a new chairman has been named and hopes his administration can help change course. The tribal radio station first announced official election committee results late Wednesday. Whiteriver school board member Orlando Carroll won the seat by 80 ballots. Over 4,200 votes were cast in that race. The chairman-elect celebrated with supporters. “You are the core of the Carroll administration.” Carroll promises stability and a brighter future after the tribe had two different sitting chairmen within in recent weeks.
