My name is Avery Baker and welcome to a podcast series about music festivals. From best scenes to craziest stories to best festival practices, I love talking about festivals. In the inaugural episode on the Total Culture Festival Series, I sit down with good friend Olivia Cano. Back when we were freshmen in college, Olivia convinced me to go to Outside Lands Music Festival in San Francisco for the first time. Six years later and Olivia has been to OSL every year since, while I've gone 5 out of the last 6 years. Safe to say, it has become a tradition in our friendship.
