Nerds On Tour is a weekly interview podcast. Host Abraham Levitan talks with music people about money, motivation, and the rest of life.
Nerds On Tour is a labor of love, meant to fill a void of mentorship and “from-the-trenches” advice that Abraham noticed as a younger, touring musician. It offers a place to get honest, funny, and occasionally wonky tips from great artists about health, money management, and creative workflow and habits.
