In episode 221 of The Raised Rowdy Podcast, hosts Nicky T and Kurt Ozan sit down with rising artist Mason Via to talk about his bold leap into a solo career after his time with Old Crow Medicine Show. Mason shares how growing up in a musical household, guided by his father’s songwriting and local bluegrass legends, shaped the sound he’s now bringing to life in his self-titled new album. They dive into how Mason blends bluegrass roots with modern country and rock influences, the creative freedom that came with stepping out on his own, and why his new music is meant to be cranked up loud. The conversation also highlights the importance of live performances, the community-driven Nashville music scene, and the evolving soundscape of country and bluegrass music. With reflections on recording in a retreat setting, collaborating with notable artists, and building a career based on authenticity and connection, this episode captures Mason’s exciting new chapter and the passion fueling his solo journey.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
