    How to get famous by Accident with EuniceCycle

    Exciting Update: In our ongoing mission to celebrate local artists, we will occasionally be bringing in guests to host the show. Today's episode will be hosted by Remy(https://www.instagram.com/remy_lethbridge), who we've had on as a guest, and is a pillar of the local community, and we're thrilled to let her lead this discussion today. Today on Sleepless guest-host Remy sits down with Eunice Yeung (eunicecycle) to discuss how she accidentally became a DJ (thanks to an April Fools' joke) and a singer (thanks to a hilarious misunderstanding). She shares how her dad became a viral sensation, why she never asks people for gigs directly, and the psychology behind staying visible on social media. Eunice also opens up about dating in Toronto's small rave scene, dealing with hate comments, and mentoring young women in male-dominated spaces like DJing.

    On Directing and David Lynch's Seinfeld - with Paul Aihoshi

    Writer/director Paul Aihoshi shares his journey from making DIY home videos and hand-drawn animations to co-creating the hit fringe play David Lynch's Seinfeld. He talks about the harsh realities of indie filmmaking—getting funding, facing festival rejection, and the networking hustle—while discussing his current project, a feature screenplay called The Sushi Family. Ayoshi also gives a peek behind the scenes of his role on The Boys and offers blunt, practical advice for new creators: test your passion by keeping a day job, and skip film school. A candid talk on resilience, comedy, and making art on your own terms. I hope you enjoy this discussion as much as we did, and as always, stay sleepless.

    Podcaster's Round Table with Niall and Dain from F*ck Buddies and No Quest for the Wicker

    In this episode of The Sleepless Podcast, the hosts sit down with Niall and Dain—creators of two very different but equally passionate shows: F*ck Buddies, a sex-positive, inclusive advice podcast, and No Quest for the Wicked, an improvised sci-fi actual-play series using the Starfinder system. They discuss how F*ck Buddies began as a counter to toxic pickup-artist culture, their evolution from recording in a closet to running polished weekly releases, and why their unbroken streak since 2018 has become a point of pride. They also explore the origins of No Quest for the Wicked, how a weekly tabletop tradition among friends turned into a narrative-driven podcast, and how lessons learned from F*ck Buddies helped them launch a more production-heavy show. So sit back, enjoy this deep-dive into indie podcasting, and as always, stay sleepless.
