We were returning to Ohio from our shakedown trip to Michigan this past July so we used VanAlert to find a place to stay and we found Nate’s driveway. It turns out Nate’s driveway was a bit more posh than we expected. He asked us to drive around back where he had an honest toContinue reading “Podcast: Nate”

Podcast: John’s Car Corner
We heard about John’s Car Corner from folks all the way from Connecticut through Rhode Island and up through Massachusetts. Everyone said you need to stop at John’s Car Corner and talk to John. They were right. Soon we were standing in the shop itself, just outside of Westminster, Vermont—it a mix of parts store,Continue reading “Podcast: John’s Car Corner”
Podcast: Ken
We interviewed Ken, the owner of a mutt bus in Massachusetts, inside of his actual bus. It’s an impressive creation where functionality and self-reliance rule. Even cooler—Ken is a bus muralist. See his work on Instagram.
Podcast: Tracy Tulloch
Every once in a while—not often—but every once in a while, our bus, Adie, needs a little extra care. We stopped at a shop called PiperBus Automotive in Connecticut, owned and managed by Tracy Tulloch. It’s one of those hidden gems we’re glad we found tucked away in New England. The shop has a smallContinue reading “Podcast: Tracy Tulloch”
Podcast: David
We had been staying in David’s driveway as we ventured toward Salem, Massachusetts. Even though he insisted he didn’t need to be interviewed, we decided otherwise. Over the breakfast he prepared for us, we had a little conversation with him about his time driving VWs.
Podcast: Jerry
Before we left on our 49 state tour in our bus, Adie, we met up with Jerry Shields, at a local coffee shop. He’s a man with an appreciation for the finer things in life. Just take a look at his bus, Velma (more pics on Instagram). She’s a keeper.
Podcast: Geoff
Over a year ago, we were camping in Ohiopyle, Pennsylvania. It was our first trip in Adie and we had only started to kick around the idea of a VW Bus podcast and a multi-state trip, when we met Geoffrey Heigh. We were walking around the campground when we struck up a conversation with thisContinue reading “Podcast: Geoff”
Season 3 coming soon!
Join us this season for the New England leg of our journey as we chat with VW mechanics, brand new bus owners, veterans of the road, and even a true adventurer of epic proportions. Ten hot, fresh episodes will be dropping in the next 48 hours depending on your streaming service of choice.
Stay tuned…
I’m working furiously (well, maybe I’m working at an on-again-off-again pace) on Season Three of the podcast, which I have slated to drop in mid-November. After traversing 17ish states in the past ten weeks and talking with scores of people (bus owners and admirers and just plain friendly folk), I have to say that IContinue reading “Stay tuned…”
Podcast: Jessica
We met up with a fellow bus owner, Jessica Messer, at a winery called MAWBY in Traverse City, Michigan. As we drank our wines, she told us about her adventures in and around Lake Michigan as well as her plans to turn her bus, Poppy, into a professional mobile party service.
