Some episodes expand on stories from the magazine. Others are original, audacious, audio-rich stories you won’t hear, or read, anywhere else. Each series coincides with a new quarterly issue of the magazine, creating space for deeper conversations and place-based storytelling. Inspiring, real, and shaped by Canada's North.

Yukon Wildlife and Wildfire Presenting... Yukon Wildlife and Wildfire Our fall series will wrap up on October 14 with the story of how the Yukon Brewing Company was “made in the Yukon." In the meantime, we want to share an episode of a podcast that our former host, Karen McColl, recently produced in her position as a Wildlife Viewing Specialist with the Government of Yukon’s Wildlife Viewing Program.

In a five-part series called Yukon Wildlife and Wildfire, Karen and fellow naturalist Carrie McClelland guide listeners through several Yukon burns to explain how new life emerges in the aftermath of wildfire.

In our featured episode—“Takhini Bridge Fire: Hoo is there?”—Carrie and Karen head west of Whitehorse to explore what’s happening in one of the territory’s more recent and accessible post-fire landscapes.

It’s called “Made in the Yukon.”

Four times a year, John Glynn-Morris will dive into the real stories of Yukon makers and how they navigate challenges, doubt and the quest for success. From flourishing businesses to renowned events, iconic brands to works of art, innovative ideas to essential infrastructure—if it’s made in the Yukon, John wants to share the story behind it.

Before we release the first episode—the incredible journey of the Yukon Brewing Company’s founders—we want to reveal more about John’s background, interests and perspectives on life in the Yukon. All of this comes out in a wide-ranging conversation between John and The Yukon Magazine’s co-publisher, Tammo Walter.

We hope you’ll be hearing a lot more from John as a trusted guide to the wonderful world of “Made in the Yukon.”

If the answer is “Hell, yeah!” but you’ve never heard of the Yukon’s Firth River… well, there’s a hole on your bucket list.

In this repeat episode from July 2023, former host Karen McColl talks with writer Chris Carli about his life-altering experience paddling through a remote northern landscape with a huge population—of migratory caribou. 

Hear how one remarkable encounter turned an avowed hiking-hater into a guy who will at least concede that a little hoofin’ it can offer spectacular rewards.

Produced by Pascale Halliday and her father, Keith, the 22-episode series guides listeners on an epic journey from the origins of the greatest gold rush the world has ever known to its apogee during Dawson City’s salad days of ’98. And, of course, they can’t get from one to the other without spending some nerve-wracking time on the Yukon River.

From an interview near the famed manes of the now-tamed White Horse Rapids, Pascale reflects on her personal connection to the gold rush and the family affair of the podcast’s production. Then she goes with the flow of our Fall issue’s current theme—rivers, rivers, rivers—by introducing our presentation of the episode “Bennett to Dawson in a leaky boat” from the Klondike Gold Rush History Podcast.

Dennis will hook you with a great story about Rock River—a place that many Yukoners are hard-pressed to even locate. He’ll reel you in with his close observations of local bumper stickers. And, finally, he’ll let you go with his thoughts about “The Spell of the Yukon.”

That’s when she was offered a 10-month back-fill position with Up Here magazine. “It was the break I was waiting for,” she says, “and I spent those months in an informal feature-writing boot-camp.”

In this episode, Eva chats with The YUKON Magazine’s co-publisher, Tammo Walter, about her evolution as a northern writer and what it means to “write the North.” She then reads a timeless story titled “I Found the Sweet Life,” which chronicles a week she spent among Skagway’s seasonal workers during her “boot-camp” era more than a decade ago. Originally published in Up Here, this piece also appears in Eva’s collection No Sleep ‘Til Fairbanks.

"This story,” she explains, “was my first foray into the sort of immersive first-person reporting that would become my trademark.”

The rest is history.

With the Kluane Chilkat International Bike Relay coming up on June 20th, from Haines Junction to Haines, cycling is very much on our radar. And while KCIBR is not a gravel ride, the Yukon has more than enough rough roads, back roads, construction zones, and in-between terrain to make a gravel bike feel right at home.

In this conversation from our archive, originally released in 2022, then-host Karen McColl speaks with Ian Parker about the rise of gravel biking , or, as he calls it, mixed-surface riding. They talk about why the Yukon is such a natural place for it, how gravel sits somewhere between road cycling and mountain biking, and why the best bike might simply be the one that gets you out there.

A timely look back at a cycling movement that keeps gaining ground.

A lot.

As part of Operation Nanook-Nunalivut 2026, a team of Canadian Rangers crossed more than 5,200 kilometres of Arctic wilderness by snowmobile. For 52 days they traveled along parts of the Northwest Passage where weather, equipment failure or one wrong decision can quickly into a very serious situation.

Three Yukon Rangers, Maya Poirier, Philippe Brient and Dan Beaudoin, reflect on the longest Arctic patrol ever conducted by the Canadian Armed Forces. They talk about navigating in whiteout conditions, setting up tents, constant dangers, arriving in remote northern communities, and what surprised them most traveling for an extended period of time in extreme conditions.

A conversation about endurance, teamwork, survival, and a part of Canada most people know little about and will never experience firsthand.

All statements and opinions expressed in this episode are the personal views of the individuals involved and do not represent the official positions of the Canadian Armed Forces or the Canadian Rangers.

With frostbite, time matters. It can mean the difference between recovery and loss. From Whitehorse, Yukon, surgeon Alex Poole and clinical pharmacist Josianne Gauthier share what they’ve learned treating and studying frostbite and how they pioneered the current gold-standard treatment protocol. They talk us through what’s happening beneath the skin's surface, what decisions are critical, and the fine margins that determine whether tissue survives.

One of the reasons Ryan stayed was the community—musical and otherwise—that he discovered at Whitehorse's iconic 98 Hotel.

And when they're done talkin', you'll get to hear "The Old 98" by The Lucky Ones. We know you'll be pleased as punch.

Tammo also shares a conversation that he and his co-publisher, Manu Keggenhoff, had about the enduring mission of The YUKON Magazine.

]]> Welcome to spring—and new beginnings! To kick off the first series of our revitalized podcast, The YUKON Magazine’s new publisher, Tammo Walter, steps into the Karen McColl-sized role of “host.” He catches up with the magazine’s (sort of) new editor Kanina Holmes and podcast producer Mark Koepke for a preview of the exciting content that audiences can look—and listen—forward to this season. Tammo also shares a conversation that he and his co-publisher, Manu Keggenhoff, had about the enduring mission of The YUKON Magazine.

Next up, it’s opening for Tom Cochrane at his April 5 show in Whitehorse. 

But Cows Go Moo is no stranger to the studio, either. In May 2024, life took the band’s six teenage members down two highways (the Alaska and North Klondike) to their second recording session at Green Needle Records. 

In this episode, you’ll hear the Cows and hard workin’ producer Jim Holland workin’ hard to rock hard on a hard rock track that really works. Jim asked the band for everything but “more cowbell”… and they udderly delivered. The finished product is Cows Go Moo’s most recent self-composed single, “The Forgotten.” (You can call it “James Hetfield Takes a Bath with His Guitar and Amp,” if you prefer.) 

A story about Cows Go Moo also appears in the spring 2025 issue of The YUKON Magazine. The band was previously featured on this podcast in an separate April 2023 episode titled "Hard rock minors."

To clear the air, podcast co-producer Mark Koepke did a deep dive into his audio archives and put together this previously unscheduled minisode. It features a circa 2008 interview he did with the Whitehorse man who designed the much-debated raven plate. And for the record: it was NEVER intended to replace the beloved prospector.
