24: So You Want to Be a Viking Woman

Season 1 · Episode 24

Saturday, August 31, 2024 • Duration 17:21

Viking men have spent a millennium getting all the credit. What were the women doing?

We take a break from our usual northern news diet to meet Canadian author Heather Pringle, whose new book – The Northwomen: Untold Stories From the Other Half of the Viking World – uses archaeology, Icelandic sagas and even old cannabis seeds to tell us more about the power some Viking women held.

Spoiler alert: contains sorcery.

Season 1 · Episode 14

Sunday, April 28, 2024 • Duration 17:34

Amos Scott's new job is helping to run the Caribou Guardians Coalition, which coordinates different Indigenous Guardians programs that all have the same job: help the herd.

He spoke with us about what that job looks like, the health of Indigenous Guardians programs in the NWT, and how you bring the Guardians of the North together.

Here's an extra link we mention at the end of this episode: our report from 2022 on how scientists are studying what caribou can hear.

13: Burn, Burn, Burn Again

Season 1 · Episode 13

Friday, April 26, 2024 • Duration 24:05

Northern wildfires are changing so much that even their burn areas don't do what they used to do.

Previously, if an area burned, we figured that was good for a couple of decades' protection. That ain't necessarily so any more.

Marc-André Parisien is a Canadian Forest Service research scientist who's been studying this. He says we're seeing stuff that only just burned... burn again. "It's kind-of mindblowing."

11: The Next Diavik?

Season 1 · Episode 11

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 • Duration 17:59

We only just finished agreeing that the NWT's era of big mines is over – and suddenly someone disagrees.

Lithium company Li-FT (pronounced "lift") believes it can open a mine east of Yellowknife that, in some respects at least, rivals one of the biggest diamond mines for size.

Where did this come from? What has to happen for it to open? What would that look like, and where? And why does Li-FT say the mine has to open before 2030 (which is super quick, by mining standards) if it's going to open at all?

9: A Vision

Season 1 · Episode 9

Friday, April 12, 2024 • Duration 34:28

All week, a new paper from a northern economist – warning of an "economic cliff" just years away when diamond mines close – has been reverberating around the NWT.

Do we really not have a plan? What's the vision for the territory's economy? If there isn't a vision, what should it be?

Hear from the economist who wrote the paper, one of the NWT ministers in charge of crafting that vision, an Indigenous business leader who expects a "wine glass economy" up ahead, and more. If you want the economic situation right now explained in half an hour, this is it.

8: Why Childcare Providers are Anxious

Season 1 · Episode 8

Saturday, April 6, 2024 • Duration 23:24

April's government payments to NWT daycares and dayhomes – designed to help introduce $10-a-day childcare – were late.

Some childcare providers say the federal and territorial governments are racing too quickly to make changes. Meanwhile, people trying to build new daycares in smaller communities like Norman Wells can't get the money they need.

Speaking to Cabin Radio, the territorial minister responsible apologized for the latest problems. Caitlin Cleveland told us how she wants to fix things and make NWT childcare better.

In this podcast, hear from the minister and people at the heart of the industry about what's going on.

Season 1 · Episode 7

Friday, April 5, 2024 • Duration 18:53

“When I got better, I realized I had nothing between the ears. There wasn’t anything there to take up the time, take up the energy.”

When Trent Stokes returned to his hometown in Fort Smith, he started a garden. He’s been sober ever since, and he walked Cabin Radio's Simona Rosenfield through that journey.

Read more about Trent on Cabin Radio's website. This episode also includes a missing pins update from all the way back in episode 4.
