Episodes
Written By

This episode, I’m joined by Suzanne Santo, who has a new album ‘Yard Sale’ coming out this August.   

I was lucky enough to be able to listen to the album pre-release, and I’m telling you it’s ridiculously good. She wrote most of this album while on the road with Hozier, both opening the world tour and playing in his band.  

I didn’t know much about Suzanne before this podcast, but since listening to her album, I’ve already become a fan.   

We talked about what it’s been like for her moving to Austin, what makes it so special there, and where her favorite places to eat are.  

This is one of those great conversations with another food lover that’s just full of fun and positive energy.  

This is our last interview for the season. While we are on the summer break, enjoy the whole Lone Star Plate catalogue of interviews with amazing people!    

“One of the best decisions I’ve ever made is moving to Texas.” - Suzanne Santo
