E18 Dating here is a joke

What does it say about the Yukon dating scene if people would rather knit a sweater for an airplane than give it a shot? Comedian George Maratos talks about comedy as therapy, why fall is a lucky time to shack up, and how his personal life fuels his funny bone. 

E17 Keeping the light in long distance

Small towns that attract people from near and far can create the setting for a long distance relationship (as if dating wasn't hard enough)! From the Yukon, where Nadine lives, to France, where Gaëtan (Gary) is from, is 7,500 km. They share a heartening story of how concealed romantic interest can sometimes, under rare circumstances, blossom into an inspiring connection.

E16 Queerer than you think

The Yukon may not have a gay volleyball league or board game club, but there's something about it that allowed Jason to feel comfortable being his true self for the first time. From in-the-closet to "let's all be gay," he pulls back the curtain on Yukon's queer dating scene.  

E15 Kinky Yukoners

Steve explains what happens at a dungeon party and tells us why he has a role to play in helping other shy kinksters feel comfortable and safe coming out of the closet. He also speaks about his desire to expand consensual interactions in the kink community and beyond. 

E14 When you free your heel you capture my heart

Skiing and dating are popular Yukon pastimes but do they mix? We speak to a skier who says there's nothing like a date in the mountains followed by dinner in a cozy backcountry cabin to get to know someone on a deeper level. But, hooking up at a ski race after-party can be fun too....

E13 Alaska, where the odds are as odd as the goods

Alaska and the Yukon share a more than 2,000 km (1,300 mi.) border, and while these northern neighbours have many things in common, there are also some distinct differences about dating in "The Last Frontier." 

E12 Opened hearts in open marriage

Happy Valentine's Day! To join us on this day of celebrating love and connection, we have Jeramy's story of how he and his partner co-created their open marriage. From small-town Alberta to small-town Whitehorse, Jeramy shares his journey into polyamory and how he and his wife make it work.

E11 Festivals, freedom camping, and fire morels

People can find love in the most unexpected of places--even when they come from opposite ends of the world. Enter Michelle and Cyprian, newcomers to Canada. The setting is Keno City, once home to one of the richest silver deposits in the world. This tiny, isolated community of fifteen or so residents is also host to a free grassroots music and film festival. From festivals to freedom camping, Frisky North of 60 explores Michelle and Cyprian's experience of picking fire morels in the Yukon's vast backcountry.
