GET A LIFE w/ David and Vanessa

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 naturally we thought “let’s make an episode out of it!” We discuss: ​What we think makes our podcast a...

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 thinks nothing will be that different if we just change our band name without changing our live show an...

David and Vanessa are both big fans of Keanu Reeves, but for slightly different reasons and with slightly different intensities. One thing they're united on however is that their band Goodnight Sunrise would be a great opener for Keanu's band Dogstar when they play Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls, Ontario on August 21st, 2026. We've all heard of 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon - well we don't have time...

If you are like David, you have been completely obsessed with the Artemis II lunar flyby mission the last 10 days. If you are like Vanessa, you're like "why are they going to the moon but not even landing on it?" So we decided to break our radio silence (of not having put out an episode in weeks) to argue about: why humans explore space what the moon mission has to do with the Toronto Blue Jays pl...

We released a new single today called " Over You "! In this episode we argue about: what the song is or isn't about what genre people seem to think this song is what's the difference between punk and pop punk are radio edits of songs still necessary today what does David think of Vanessa's exes does David ever wonder about his own exes Listen to Over You now !

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.

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 also out of chronological order. But it was a fun discussion about the joys and perils of creativity and...

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

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

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 . So we decided, since there aren't enough podcasts out there, to make a new podcast where we talk about whatever we want and do literally zero editing. So here is our first episode, unfiltered for better or for worse. We spe...
