Tori Kravitz / Podcast Host & Publicist | S2 Ep8

This week on Late For Load In, Chris Davis and Josh Korel are joined by music journalist, publicist, and podcast host Tori Kravitz!

Tori got her start in the music industry at just 15 years old, interviewing bands and building her own outlet, Rock Forever Magazine. That passion eventually led her to becoming the official Vans Warped Tour Pit Reporter, spending four summers documenting one of the most iconic tours in alternative music.

Today, Tori works as a publicist at Atom Splitter PR and hosts She's With The Band on Knotfest, where she highlights the women shaping the music industry.

We get into her early days as a music journalist, the chaos and unforgettable memories of touring with Warped Tour, and what it's been like returning to the festival years later. Tori also breaks down the world of music publicity, how bands land interviews and media coverage, and why relationships and genuine passion are so important to building a lasting career.

Along the way, we talk about handling criticism, overcoming self-doubt, navigating burnout, the challenges women face in the music business, and learning to find fulfillment outside of your career.

It's a great conversation about taking chances, putting in the work, and finding your place in an industry that doesn't always come with a roadmap.
