Buckle up, folks! This season we have expanded our horizons—interviewing folks from Michigan to the Finger Lakes in New York. We are serving up ten new episodes that include entrepreneurs, artists, champions of the community, and bold adventurers.
Podcast: Neil
Neil is a close friend of ours. In fact, I actually lived with him after my divorce. Miracle too—a couple of divorced people living with our friend, Neil Webster. Now Neil has owned a whole lotta VWs. And even though we usually don’t talk about other VW makes on this program, it is worth notingContinue reading “Podcast: Neil”
Podcast: Lynda
If you’ve owned a Vw Bus for any length of time, you’ve probably got a tale of roadside breakdown woes. We met a woman, Lynda Hardman, who had more than her fair share. In fact, she swears her bus had a curse. She’s seen everything from flaming stoves to the crunchy demise of her not-so-beloved ASIContinue reading “Podcast: Lynda”
Podcast: Selwa
We interviewed Selwa Whitesell of Yellow Springs. Currently she has a modern tow-behind camper sitting in her driveway. She has biked in New Zealand, camped all over. But her first camper was an unusual VW Bus she owned when she was just sixteen, married, and pregnant.

(And yes, it was overwhelmingly moms. It wasContinue reading “Trail Magic”
Podcast: Peg & Moira
In early autumn of 2020, Miracle and I conducted our first interview for our podcast with two Irish sisters, Peg and Moira. They messaged us on Facebook after Miracle put out the initial call for stories and told us about what they called their Irish Catholic edition VW Bus. As you might imagine, with aContinue reading “Podcast: Peg & Moira”
