The South Hood Stereo is Ottawa’s newest local music showcase podcast, dedicated to amplifying the voices and songs of the city’s vibrant artists. As the sister show to the long-running Ego & Vice Podcast, it carries forward a tradition of championing independent talent while carving out its own identity as a platform centered exclusively on music.

Hosted by Ego & Vice Podcast creator, Mike Mitani, alongside Max Trepanier from Ottawa band The New Hires, the show shines a spotlight on emerging and established acts across genres. Each episode curates tracks from local bands and artists, giving them a stage where their music can be heard, appreciated, and discovered by new audiences.

Our mission is simple: to help Ottawa’s musicians reach more ears and get the recognition they deserve. Whether you’re a longtime supporter of the local scene or just looking for fresh sounds, The South Hood Stereo brings the community together—one song at a time.
