Country music and Braves baseball go hand in hand.

In this special collection of interviews from the Whiskey Riff Raff Podcast, Atlanta Braves stars Austin Riley and Kyle Farmer, along with Braves broadcaster Ben Ingram, sit down separately with the Whiskey Riff Raff crew to talk all things country music and baseball.

Austin Riley discusses his favorite country artists, who controls the locker room aux cord, growing up in the South, and why he'd love to spend his entire career with the Atlanta Braves.

Kyle Farmer shares his love for Luke Combs and Morgan Wallen, explains why "Still Going Down" became his walkout song, reflects on joining his hometown team, and reveals why the Braves clubhouse is full of "Ella Fellas."

Meanwhile, Braves broadcaster Ben Ingram talks about the crossroads of country music and baseball, critiques the team's music taste, names the most country player on the roster, and tells the story of trying to get Ella Langley in the broadcast booth but ending up with Jason Aldean instead.

From locker room playlists and walkout songs to hunting season and hometown pride, these conversations showcase the strong connection between country music and Braves baseball.

This week on Whiskey Riff Raff, we sit down with rising country artist Ty Myers to talk about what it’s really like blowing up at just 18 years old. From writing nearly all of his songs in his childhood bedroom to navigating life on the road while still living with his parents, Ty opens up about the pressure, the chaos, and the growth that comes with early success.

We get into his fear of evolving his sound and whether fans will follow, what it’s like being an “old soul” who started writing full songs at just 7 years old, and the wild energy of his shows filled with young, passionate fans. Ty also shares how he balances the party lifestyle of touring while staying grounded.

Plus, we talk about his brand new album, collaborating with Marcus King, and how artists like John Mayer have shaped his sound and inspired where he’s headed next.

It’s an honest look at a young artist figuring it out in real time and building something that’s entirely his own.

Australian country artist Wade Forster joins the Whiskey Riff Raff podcast to talk about growing up in the Australian outback, rodeo life, and the long road to country music.

Before pursuing music, Wade worked just about every job you can imagine, including rugby player, rodeo cowboy, HVAC tech, and ranch hand while living nearly 22 hours from the nearest major city. He shares what life is really like in rural Australia, from dealing with kangaroos and dangerous wildlife to the culture differences between Australia and the United States.

Wade also talks about getting bullied growing up for listening to country music, having a crush on Reba McEntire, why he never connected with pop country, and how rodeo culture shaped who he is today.

Plus we dive into some hilarious differences between Australia and America including why Australians tailgate after events instead of before and the truth behind some of the stereotypes.
