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.
So sit back, enjoy this deep-dive into indie podcasting, and as always, stay sleepless.
