After the breakdown in Florida, we really thought this bus venture of ours would be over. Finances are tight on the road and podcasting is not exactly a gold mine. As I ran the diagnostics on Adie at that gas station just outside of Sopchoppy, Florida, I had the sinking feeling that we had reachedContinue reading “Keep on keepin’ on”

Podcast: Ben
We sat down with my former neighbor, Ben Abramcyz, at his house in the quaint little village of Alpha to reminisce about an epic bus trip he took nearly fifty years ago. It is a story fueled by beer.
Just hanging out at the studio
Gotta say, as terrible as engine troubles can be, we have some great luck with breakdowns. We traveled back to the ice lands of the north, where we could be miserable. Where we could be slowly going broke renting a hotel room or paying out the nose for cleaning fees on AirBnB. Instead, we hadContinue reading “Just hanging out at the studio”
Help get us farther down the road
When we set out on our great bus adventure we had a budget—a budget that included a column for catastrophic breakdowns. But, now as we are five months into the adventure, and on our third motor, we are feeling the squeeze of the budget. We came very close to calling it quits when we brokeContinue reading “Help get us farther down the road”

We traveled across New England and into Canada, crossed into Michigan and the upper Great Lakes States to bring you stories from folks who have had an adventure or two in a VW Bus. This season we’ve met collectors, mechanics, businesswomen, and more than a few roadtrippers. You can listen to all the episodes wherever fineContinue reading “Season 4 is live!”
Podcast: Eric
We sat down with Eric Caron, organizer of West River Westies, in his home in southern Vermont after a weekend of hanging out with him and his friends whom you met in the previous episode. He’s had a lifetime of bus adventures and the wisdom to go with it.
Podcast: Art and Paula
We were traveling through Southern Vermont when we were invited to hang out around the campfire with some VW Bus area celebrities. Check out this unedited literal fireside chat with these folks.
Technical difficulties
Editing Season 4 of the podcast when Hindenburg says it needs to update. The update then makes it impossible to open the program with my current OS. Lesson to be learned here: never update a software while in the middle of a project. Next step is to update the OS and hope for compatibility andContinue reading “Technical difficulties”
Podcast: Tracy Carlucci
We sat down with a brand new bus owner, Tracy Carlucci, while we were visiting Connecticut this past September. Even though she has a brand new old bus, it’s been a long road getting here.
Podcast: Nate
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”
