Episode #150 Season 7 Finale is now available everywhere.

150! What a milestone! Who would have thunk it. Not me that's for sure. Either way here we are.

As usual, I'm giving myself to the mountains for a couple months.

Before I go, I need to thank all the amazing bands and artists that have graced the hallowed halls of South Hood Studio this season. It was a jam packed year and probably the most fun I've had doing the podcast. You are my peers and my fellow artists and I'm proud to be part of Ottawa music community with you.

From my whole heart, thank you to the listeners of E&V. I honestly could not do it without you.

Over the last 8 yrs, I've watched this podcast grow from a little niche experiment to the success and local showcase it is today. I've promised time and again Ego & Vice will never change and will always be a local podcast about local music, for local music. Thank you for the reviews and all the friendly emails that you always send my way. I read all and appreciate them. Even the mean ones.

I cannot express how greatful I am for all the love and support throughout the years.

Ego & Vice Podast Season 9 returns in February
