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.

Is There a Hole on Your Bucket List?

Do you live for epic paddling trips with no shortage of whitewater or opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing? 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.
