Heavy Snacking Podcast Heavy Snacking Podcast

HELLO HELLO and welcome back to The Heavy Snacking Podcast! I’m back from the break with a nice and juicy episode with the folks from Stereo Confidential (formerly Modern Vinyl). I talked to Chris, James and Mike about the formation of the podcast, ending the Modern Vinyl website, and charting a new course with their show Stereo Confidential. We also tasted some snacks and drinks while we got to know the boys better! They talked about all the new projects their working on including a Modern Vinyl Newsletter, new music from Mike’s band and James on going involvement in many facets of the music industry.

Apologies for the weird intro, I had to record on the road in Philadelphia. Also, we found out that Chris has never burped, which is super trippy (and they did change their twitter tag- it’s now @stereopod )

“We’re snacking on ya!”

It’s been a minute but I’m back with a new episode! I met up with Matty Terrones (Neutral Shirt, KIDS.) to talk about their musical journey and what they have coming up in the future with Neutral Shirt’s new album “Daisyworld”.

This interview was done outside after crossing a creek and a short hike! We started out by cracking open some Yerba mate and ended up talking about burritos, the Philly Taco, La Croix and coffee, as well as plenty of vegan food spots. Enjoy the episode!

It’s a special episode this week! I’m taking a break from interviews and instead, I’m breaking out some old food and drink reviews from a number of different tours and trips I’ve taken over the past two years. It’s a short episode but there is also a new track from “Give”, the debut album from my friends in Ridgeway at the top of the show!

Eyyy, how you doin’? I’m back this week with Matteo DeBenedetti from the New Jersey band Toy Cars! Following up on his cameo in the Retirement Party episode, I called up Matty D and got the scoop on Jersey pizza and heard a passionate defense in the case of Sheetz vs. Wawa!



We traced his musical history from ska and folk punk, to the anthemic heartland emo on Toy Car’s latest full length “Paint Brain”, as well as regrouping and gearing up for new stuff in 2019. In the second half we finally get the lowdown on Jersey Pizza, talk Taco Bell, discuss pizza and ramen snobbery.

It’s baaaack! The Heavy Snacking Podcast is back with Episode 12 featuring Jordan Serrano of California Cousins. We are live in 2019 with more stories about touring and food recommendations from folks in the DIY and independent music scene.

This week we talked about the formation of California Cousins, surviving Skate-topia and their new record “Distant Relatives”. In the second half we finally get to discuss Rochester New York- a place I have often referenced on this this show- as well as Energy Nuggets, and way too many fast food deals.
