Smells Like Yukon Flog

Unlike the majority of my posts, this one is just like the title says. It’s too sunny to waste a lot of time typing maniacally–or whatever it is I do here–so I’ll get right to the goodies.

At long last, the season finale “Danger Liasons” aired this morning on CBC Yukon. As usual, you’ll find some outtakes and other stuff on the Behind the Sounds page for this segment. And, as a special treat for the Smells Like Yukon Members Club, we’ve already posted the segment to the audio archives, so you won’t have to wait all summer if you missed today’s broadcast. We were hoping to have the full-length interview with Dr. Brendan Hanley, Yukon’s Medical Officer of Health, available on the website, too, but technical difficulties have so far prevented its uploading. If it’s any consolation, there’s nothing funny about the interview. But then again, there’s nothing funny about unnecessary head injuries, working, or herpes, either.

In short order, we’ll have the image posted for the next caption contest. (Or maybe Michael Pealow could just write a caption, then we’ll find a photo to go with it?) We’ll also be posting a new online poll–your chance to choose your favourite segment of Smells Like Yukon’s second season.

Remember that Dallas cliffhanger when JR got shot? Or how about when Pam realized she’d dreamed an entire season–and husband Bobby hadn’t been shot at all. Or maybe that other season ender when somebody else probably got shot. Maybe Ray or Miss Ellie, who can can keep track.

If you’re wondering what the hell Dallas is, then we should really have Tommy Hunter track you down and whoop your ass with a little prayer book. Unless Sue Ellen pumped him full of lead, of course.

Dallas also provides a convenient segue into the news that Smells Like Yukon’s final story of the season will air on CBC tomorrow morning at about 7:15–and neither Mark or Jesse gets shot, much to your relief or… disappointment, as the case may be. However, your favourite “journalists” may breathe a little more exhaust than is healthy, all in pursuit of a story designed to keep YOU safe and healthy this summer.

If you need to you can listen to the segment live on the Internet by using the link on the Smells Like Yukon homepage.

We should also note that the MP3 of the last segment, “Into the Mild,” is now available for online listening in the Members Club. If this applies to you, please… remember to wear your jacket. We made them for a reason.

Still wondering what all those apparently member-related references were about a couple of weeks ago? Well, here’s your chance to finally hear “dong” and “wang” on Smells Like Yukon–and understand why it was such a big deal.

Yes, segment #16, “New & Improved,” has finally been uploaded for the listening pleasure of the exclusive Smells Like Yukon Members Club. If you’re not already a Member, we’ll certainly entertain your application. Chances are, you’ll be accepted–but the votes by our Membership Committee are usually pretty close, and we won’t be afraid to rub it in if you qualify by only the slimmest of margins.
