The YUKON Magazine
A companion to the award-winning The Yukon Magazine, this podcast shares the same mission: to explore and celebrate life in the Yukon. 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.

The 22nd Sport

There are 20 sports at this year's Arctic Winter Games in Whitehorse. Pin trading has long been considered an unofficial sport at the AWG, so that makes 21.... And now, podcast producer Mark Koepke suggests a 22nd "sport."
As he documents the final sprint in a multi-year, volunteer-led marathon to plan the circumpolar world’s biggest sporting and cultural event, Mark takes a cue from his favourite event—Arctic Sports—and talks a fine line between cooperation and competition.
