The Road Case features the four women of award-winning country band Nice Horse. With each of them coming from very different musical backgrounds, they had no idea their worlds would one day collide into starting a country band together - but they did, and it worked. The ladies have had major ups and downs along the way, resulting in experiences that have been gut-grabbingly hilarious, incredibly trying, occasionally heartwarming, and sometimes downright idiotic. Hop into the tour van and join Katie, Brandi, Krista & Tara in The Road Case: stories of life on the road, with some of the friends they’ve...

This week: we all get told about proper fire protocol by an actual dispatcher, Katie and Tara can’t stop talking birds, Krista commiserates  with a listener who got hoodwinked by a social media advertisement, and we discuss the magic, wonder, and weirdness of targeted ads.


52. The Case of the Fiery Imposters

This week, we’re talking imposter syndrome, and no one is immune - including Neil Gaiman and Neil Armstrong. Brandi and Tara share some personal moments when they felt like they weren’t supposed to be where they are, Krista hits us with some cool science, and Katie tells us about the life-or-death scenario where she never ever hesitates.

47. D'orjay The Singing Shaman: The Case of the Musical Pilgrimage
12/20/2021

D'orjay The Singing Shaman colours outside the country music lines with anthemic, bold blues, honky-tonk and rock-flavoured roots with a distinct queer, Black twist. Originally from rural Alberta, she was a 2021 nominee for Country Artist of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards, and has been featured in Rolling Stone (!!!)

We kick things off with the story of D'orjay's incredible path to music, which took her from small-town Alberta to meeting her Buddhist guru in Vancouver, a pilgrimage to Tibet, energy healing in Thailand, and shaman school in Chile. Krista and D'orjay bond over some tall-girl...

They take us through their sweet (and sometimes spicy) love story: how they met, how they began exploring polyamory, how Bex become a part of Vanessa's life alongside her three kids and spouse of 13 years (who is not polyamorous), and all the challenging, hilarious, and heartwarming moments along the way.

Plus, Vanessa, a professional harpist, tells us about the time she was saved by a miracle harp while on tour in China, and recounts a heart-stopping story involving John Williams...


45. The Case of Katie's Colossal Catch-Up
12/06/2021

It’s been awhile since we’ve all seen each other, and we have a lot to get caught up on! Brandi ducks out early because she had a bit TOO much fun during the Canadian Country Music Awards and lost her voice. Katie tells us how she learned about ethical non-monogamy, and applies the concept to Tara’s recent tour with (gasp!) ANOTHER BAND. Plus, we all have a lot of feelings about the new reality of travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic, and Krista is here to tell you about her thoughts on all the new procedures whether you wa...
