This week on Snacky Tunes Terry Diabolik of Finger on the Pulse sits down with Amanda Kludt of EaterNY. Together they talk about what sets Eater apart from other food publications (for one, they don't "suck up") and the upcoming Eater Awards, and what surprises can be expected therein (they are "food-related" surprises, says Kludt). Next Dev from Lightspeed Champion and Blood Orange comes to the studio to talk about his new found love of card tricks and a mysterious book that he managed to track down on the subject. He also performs some songs in-studio from the new Blood Orange record: Coastal Grooves. This episode was sponsored by Fairway: like no other market.
