We made it to number five! On this 5th episode I talk to Tony Presley from Real Live Tigers and Keeled Scales Records. We take a trip down memory lane and discuss his musical history and our friendship- which has lasted nearly a decade! This one is also a tailgate interview since Tony was on tour doing merch for our guest last week, David Dondero!

We discuss Greyhound tours to the Bush inauguration protests, the days of LiveJournal and MySpace as well as 2000s DIY record labels and touring culture. In the second half we discuss sparkling drinks, the worst cup of coffee ever, and Texas’s legendary Bucc-ee’s Gas Station Convenience stores!

The Heavy Snacking Podcast is an interview podcast where we talk to touring musicians about their musical history, traveling, regional cuisine, and of course, SNAX! We’re exploring the wild world of fast food, gas station delicacies, and local chains with your host Alyx Poska.
