Ego & Vice Podcast has been supporting Ottawa’s music, art, and DIY spirit for 9 years strong. It’s not about flashy gimmicks or over-produced nonsense—it’s about real people telling real stories. From musicians to makers, comedians to creators, it’s a raw look at the talent driving Ottawa’s scene.
And we’re not stopping there. Alongside Ego & Vice, check out our new lineup: Mike & Vic’s Southie Stories (off-the-cuff banter, laughs, and songwriting talk), The South Hood Stereo (a showcase of Ottawa bands and artists), and the One Year Later Series (deep dives into how things change with time).
At the end of the day, it’s all about giving a voice to the artists, hustlers, and dreamers who make this city tick—unfiltered, inclusive, and 100% from the heart
