Podcasts about Saskatchewan, Canada

The west, southwest and parts of the south-central regions are at 40 to 85 percent of normal precipitation. Most of the northern Grain Belt, the centre and the east are at 80 to 115. That rundown comes from Sask Ag Today on 620CKRM. The same clip then moves to the Senate Agriculture Committee, where Michael Bork, the CEO of Fertilizer Canada, describes how the war in the Middle East is affecting fertilizer shipments. Farm news and sports talk carry most of the everyday Saskatchewan in this feed. Beside them are podcasts from SaskOutdoors and the Law Society of Saskatchewan. Nothing in the feed is about provincial politics.

What Saskatchewan is

Saskatchewan sits between Alberta and Manitoba on the Canadian Prairies. It runs from the US border north into boreal forest and lake country. Regina is the capital and Saskatoon the largest city. The province grows much of Canada's wheat, canola and pulse crops, mines potash, and is home to the CFL's Saskatchewan Roughriders.

Fertilizer, sulfur and a late storm

The farm clips keep coming back to two things: what goes into a crop and what the weather is doing. Bork tells the committee there can be no food security without reliable access to fertilizer. In the March 31, 2026 edition, Mario Gaudet says that sulfur prices will not reset quickly even if the conflict ends. In the April 17 edition, Jeff Yorga describes a storm of rain, snow and 10-below wind that left April looking like February. The episode titles are dated editions under Ryan Young's name. Even the sponsor breaks stay on the land: Steffes Auctioneers, "selling land and the equipment to farm it."

Burbot, fast food and the Grey Cup

SportsCage Podcast is filed under hockey, and its most local clip is a hockey story: Kyle McIntyre describes La Ronge fans throwing burbot onto the ice during a Friday night game. Football comes in through memory and ceremony. Darien Durant recalls living on fast food near Regina in his first CFL seasons, before nutrition programs improved. Another clip recounts Cameron Whitcomb wearing Ouellette's jersey and bringing the Grey Cup onto the stage in Saskatoon. The burbot clip also has a stretch on the Blue Jays. Insurance around the WBC led to an MRI that found inflammation in a starting pitcher's elbow, and one voice sums it up: "What a weird story that the insurance company comes up with the reason that you can't play baseball."

Risk assessments and bar admissions

On Let’s Talk Outdoors, from SaskOutdoors, Denise explains what it takes to bring children outside. There are enhanced ratios and a risk assessment provided by the ministry. Her own organization adds a more detailed one that sets out the hazards and the conversations to have with the children before they go. She breaks risky play into speed, heights, getting lost, rough and tumble, dangerous tools and dangerous elements. In "Teaching Beyond Maps and Compasses with Jennifer MacDonald", MacDonald says treaty is not a historical document but a framework for "how we're supposed to live together" with "more than human relatives". Marcia McKenzie argues that climate education needs cognitive, social-emotional and action dimensions, not just facts.

Legal Skies - a podcast by the Law Society of Saskatchewan does the same for the legal profession. In "S4E4 International Trained Lawyers in Canada", one speaker recalls sitting the exams in 2015 and 2016. The study groups they found were based mostly in Ontario or BC, and, new in Saskatchewan, they were left asking "now what? What do I do?" Debra Wolfe explains that the NCA certificate is one of only two documents accepted for bar admissions in common law Canada. "S4E1 Limited Scope Legal Services" describes those services as "legal advice in chunks and pieces" for clients who cannot afford full representation. The clips date from 2021 and 2022, and the show's titles also cover access to justice, legal data and artificial intelligence.
