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.

If anyone should fly through our Yukon Questionnaire, it ought to be Karen McColl. As a former editor of The YUKON Magazine and producer of this podcast, Karen has put the questionnaire to many fellow Yukoners. But, apparently, that’s not enough to guarantee lightning-fast responses when she finds herself on the wrong end of the microphone. As Karen moves on to her next adventure(s), our questionnaire is her opportunity to say farewell (for now) and let listeners know where she stands on the Yukon’s most pressing questions.

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.
