    Shep Rose: From Bravo to Costa Rica & His Journey to Self-Discovery

    🎙️ This week on The Pal's Podcast, we sit down with Shep Rose, longtime Southern Charm star, author, and outdoor adventurer, during his visit to Toronto. Shep opens up about his transformative ayahuasca retreat in Costa Rica, the wake-up call that pushed him to make a change, and how those experiences inspired his new book, Nothing in Moderation. He shares what it was really like spending 12 seasons on reality television, how producers shape the stories viewers see, and why hearing from fans who found comfort in the show means more than most people realize. The conversation also dives into the pressure of constantly chasing success, learning to appreciate the journey instead of the destination, his love for surfing, fly fishing, and hunting, and what's next. Plus, we wrap things up with a fun lightning round covering everything from his favorite drink and dream movie casting to the one former castmate he misses the most. 🎶 Music by @distant.matter 📲 Follow us on Instagram @thepalspodcast | @yourpalrick | @danigalarneau Follow Shep Rose: Instagram: @relationshep Presented by Narcity Canada.

    Stuck on Planet Earth: 10+ Years, 1 Band, No Breakups (Toronto Rock Story)

    🎙️ This week on The Pal's Podcast, we sit down with Toronto rock band Stuck on Planet Earth to talk about their latest album, All But Nothing, and what it takes to keep a band together for over a decade. The trio shares the story behind recording their new album between Nashville and Toronto, working alongside acclaimed songwriters and producers, and why they chose to capture part of the record live off the floor to preserve the band's raw energy. We also dive into the personal themes that shaped the album, including fatherhood, divorce, personal growth, and the symbolism behind its striking artwork. We discuss the differences between Nashville's highly collaborative music scene and Toronto's culture, the brotherhood that has kept the same three members together since the early 2010s, and how they navigate creative disagreements while continuing to evolve as a band. Plus, we talk about the realities of being a modern musician, the pressure of creating content for TikTok and Instagram, protecting mental health in a 24/7 digital world, upcoming tour dates, favourite movies, and much more. 🎶 Music by @distant.matter 📲 Follow us on Instagram @thepalspodcast | @yourpalrick | @danigalarneau Follow Stuck on Planet Earth: Instagram: @stuckonplanetearth Website: stuckonplanetearth.com Presented by Narcity Canada.

    The Bausa: High School Friends to Global Success

    🎙️ This week on The Pal's Podcast, we sit down with Norwegian music trio The Bausa during their first-ever North American trip to Toronto. The group shares how a friendship that started in middle school turned into a global music career, from creating songs in a home studio and selling music to Norway's famous graduation bus culture, to landing a chart-topping hit and performing in front of 60,000 people. We also dive into the TikTok video that changed everything, their transition from Norwegian hip-hop to English house music, creating nearly an entire year of music in a single week, and the setback that nearly derailed their career when their music was removed from Spotify at a crucial moment. Plus, we talk touring, their creative process, upcoming releases, favourite movies, and much more. 🎶 Music by @distant.matter 📲 Follow us on Instagram @thepalspodcast | @yourpalrick | @danigalarneau Follow The Bausa: Instagram: @thebausa TikTok: @thebausa Presented by Narcity Canada.
