And we're back! Sorry for the extended break but the Heavy Snacking Podcast is back with a new episode! This week's guest is Avery Springer from Retirement Party and Elton John Cena. We discuss her early musical history, relocating and integrating into the Chicago scene, as well as figuring out where your writing fits and adapting to the touring life. We are joined in the second half by her bandmates: James, Nick and Eddie. They give us tips for buying groceries on the road, keeping yer cooler clean and we have a little 420 friendly Pot Chat about legal marijuana- a first on the show!

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.
