Episode #168 Season 8 Finale is now available everywhere!

The Ego & Vice team relfects on a very busy 2025 and plans for 2026.

It has been a busy year for Ego & Vice Podcast. So many great artists, amazing music and stories. I would like to thank all the guests that visited South Hood Studio and graced the Ego & Vice airwaves. It was an expansion year with the two new shows "Southie Stories" and "The South Hood Stereo" I couldn't be happier with the results and the support we've received.

I huge thank you to my co-hosts, Max and Vic for thier talent, time, character and dedication. In a short time they have given a new energy to Ego & Vice and I can't wait for Season 9.

Last but not least, I want to thank the listeners of Ego & Vice Podcast that have stuck with the show since the very beginning way back in 2017. I couldn't do it without you.

See you in 2026.

From the creators of the Ego & Vice Podcast comes Mike & Vic’s Southie Stories—a fresh, off-the-cuff show that blends humor, heart, and a love for Ottawa’s music scene. Hosted by local musicians Mike and Vic, the podcast dives into what’s happening around the city musically, while also branching into candid conversations, info, stories, and plenty of laughs.

Think of it as a palate cleanser: part music talk, part good vibes, and always authentic. Whether they’re trading stories from the scene, riffing on everyday life, or sharing their creative insights, Mike and Vic bring a laid-back, relatable energy that feels like hanging out with old friends.

Southie Stories is the podcast you throw on when you need to lighten your day, find inspiration, or just enjoy some genuine music banter from people who live and breathe it
