Episodes

  1. Arguing about the fleeting nature of happiness

    We played a couple incredible shows in Saskatchewan two weeks ago and it already feels like a lifetime. When we don't play a show for a while we forget what it feels like to actually be a band - posting content and living online just doesn't cut it. So today we discussed: ways to hold on to the…

  2. Arguing about how to be successful podcasters

    Our friend Elise Roller from Misfit Music Management insists that we are sitting in a gold mine with this podcast and that it can be the secret to finding success in building an audience for our band. Is she right?! Our first task towards finding out was answering a bunch of questions for her, so...

  3. Arguing about changing our band name

    We started our band Goodnight Sunrise 15 years ago, and recently we've been debating a big question: at what point do we hit the reset button and start fresh under a new band name? Vanessa thinks everyone in the Canadian music industry has heard about us and already made up their mind. David…

  4. Arguing about Keanu Reeves' band Dogstar

    David and Vanessa are both big fans of Keanu Reeves, but for slightly different reasons and with slightly different intensities.

    As we enter our final days of writing songs for our next album, Vanessa gets real vulnerable and plays a bunch of random song ideas recorded on her phone. Let us know what you think! And please sign the attached NDA.

  8. Arguing about the speed of creativity

    This episode was recorded live from a car on the highway. As a result, it's the first ep to break our "no editing" rule, but honestly it sounded like garbage and was unusable if we hadn't cleaned up the audio. When we finally got around to treating it we had released another episode, so this is...

    David and Vanessa argue about: Overcoming writer’s block How each of their writing styles have evolved over the years Which of us is Charli XCX and which is Lorde Are toplining or rhyme dictionaries cheating? How songwriting is like an escape room

  10. Arguing about what TV show to watch

    On a very special episode of this brand new podcast nobody knows about, David and Vanessa argue about: ​what TV show to watch next ​if we picked the right name for this podcast ​whether or not Kevin Costner drank his own pee on the set of Waterworld

  11. Arguing about what our podcast should be called

    Wow! Another podcast! Just what the world needs. We’re David and Vanessa. We’re in a band called Goodnight Sunrise. We also make a math education podcast called Math Therapy.
