			<description><![CDATA[<p>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. </p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>Check out EuniceCycle:</p><p>Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eunicecycle " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/eunicecycle </a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="mailto:https://tiktok.com/@eunice.cycle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tiktok.com/@eunice.cycle</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCwabxa9tzE6UQJ16556tU6g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;@EuniceCycle&nbsp;</a> </p><br><p>And check out her music under Eunice Yeung at:<a href=" https://open.spotify.com/artist/5rg1IEMpnalV1dUbmUVEI5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://open.spotify.com/artist/5rg1IEMpnalV1dUbmUVEI5</a> </p><br><p>Follow Sleepless Studios on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/</a></p><br><p>And Listen or watch the Sleepless Podcast at:</p><p>Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK</a></p><br><p>And if you're an artist in the Toronto area, come check out Sleepless Studios <a href="https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

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. </p><br><p>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.</p><br><p>Check out EuniceCycle:</p><p>Instagram:  <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eunicecycle " rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/eunicecycle </a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="mailto:https://tiktok.com/@eunice.cycle" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://tiktok.com/@eunice.cycle</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCwabxa9tzE6UQJ16556tU6g" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;@EuniceCycle&nbsp;</a> </p><br><p>And check out her music under Eunice Yeung at:<a href=" https://open.spotify.com/artist/5rg1IEMpnalV1dUbmUVEI5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://open.spotify.com/artist/5rg1IEMpnalV1dUbmUVEI5</a> </p><br><p>Follow Sleepless Studios on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/</a></p><br><p>And Listen or watch the Sleepless Podcast at:</p><p>Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK</a></p><br><p>And if you're an artist in the Toronto area, come check out Sleepless Studios <a href="https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p><br><p>So sit back, enjoy this deep-dive into indie podcasting, and as always, stay sleepless.</p><br><p>Check our F*ck Buddies:</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.fbuddiespodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fbuddiespodcast.com/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/fckbuddiespodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/fckbuddiespodcast</a></p><br><p>Check out No Quest for the Wicked:</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.noquestcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.noquestcast.com/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/noquestcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/noquestcast/</a></p><br><p>Follow Niall on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/serniall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/serniall/</a></p><p>Follow Dain on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedainiac/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thedainiac/</a></p><br><p>Follow Sleepless Studios on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/</a></p><br><p>And Listen or watch the Sleepless Podcast at:</p><p>Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK</a></p><br><p>And if you're an artist in the Toronto area, come check out Sleepless Studios <a href="https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

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.</p><br><p>So sit back, enjoy this deep-dive into indie podcasting, and as always, stay sleepless.</p><br><p>Check our F*ck Buddies:</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.fbuddiespodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.fbuddiespodcast.com/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://instagram.com/fckbuddiespodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/fckbuddiespodcast</a></p><br><p>Check out No Quest for the Wicked:</p><p>Website: <a href="https://www.noquestcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.noquestcast.com/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/noquestcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/noquestcast/</a></p><br><p>Follow Niall on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/serniall/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/serniall/</a></p><p>Follow Dain on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thedainiac/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thedainiac/</a></p><br><p>Follow Sleepless Studios on Instagram at: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/sleeplesssocials/</a></p><br><p>And Listen or watch the Sleepless Podcast at:</p><p>Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/sleepless/id1742839487</a></p><p>Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/show/39oExSG7o0vAh48xLwahRL?si=02f46a21a48346ea</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty-VM2J9ibs&amp;list=PLLwseAJLDjWtWJ7zLMSdJ4JBRd0wy0kBK</a></p><br><p>And if you're an artist in the Toronto area, come check out Sleepless Studios <a href="https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.sleeplessstudios.io/</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
