About this episode

The episode features Mike Robinson discussing his Food on Tour Guide and sharing favorite dining spots while touring.

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. This week, we’re celebrating the release of Mike Robinson’s new Food on Tour Guide.
