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.

“Whoa, bear!” A close-up on the Yukon’s most famous instructional video
If you spend time in the wilderness, you've probably seen "Staying safe in bear country." Thirty years ago, Tanya Handley bluffed her way into a job that required keeping her cool in the face of a charging bear (and on at least one occasion, bears, plural). The footage and resulting film is still used as an educational resource practically everywhere in the world there are bears. This is a glimpse behind the curtain of how the bear video was made.
