This week we're talking dogs with Vaden Todd Lewis of the Texas rock stalwarts the Toadies whose song Possum Kingdom from their platinum debut album Rubberneck has been an alternative radio staple for the last 30 years. Vaden introduces us to his Pit Bulls Fauci and Coconut while paying tribute to his past dog Cooper, a tripod terrier mix, and Rufus, a Aussie Heeler. Great talk about overcoming the stigma of pit bulls, the benefits of adopting from a shelter and much more.

Toadies recorded a new full-length album with the late great producer Steve Albini that they hope to release late in 2025/early 2026. To keep up to date on new music and concert dates visit thetoadies.com

Vaden gave a shout out to the Dallas based The Love Pit Dog Rescue who are a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization on a mission to save bully breeds through rescue, rehabilitation, training, education, and advocacy. To adopt, foster, donate or volunteer visit thelovepitrescue.org for more info.
