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.

Time is Tissue: Racing the Clock Against Frostbite
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
First it hurts. Then it stops. That’s when the clock starts ticking.
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.
A closer look at a condition shaped as much by time as by temperature.
