A three-fer here because we are whirlwinding our way across this portion of the US. Not because we don’t want to see what New England has to offer, but it is hot, my friends, and we want to head north—and fast. So here’s a spread of songs with the main dish being New York tunesContinue reading “Playlist: New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island”

Rest and exhaustion
Six states so far and so much has happened—great hosts in Maryland, a fabulous winery in New Jersey right after we got off the ferry, a stop at Bus Depot (more on that later). After ten days of insufferable heat, we finally got a break in the weather as well as a chance to sleepContinue reading “Rest and exhaustion”
Podcast: Basim
Sometimes we interview people who take a while to warm up to the mic. Not this time though. We interviewed Basim Blunt, a Dayton-area radio staple, who was more than willing to share stories of his two VW buses. He took us on a ride that starts in his youth as a frat guy andContinue reading “Podcast: Basim”
Playlist: Pennsylvania
From the sylvan lands of William Penn, the home of our beloved Bus Depot, and the home to one of my favorite big cities, Pittsburgh, we have a short list of songs.

Playlist: Delaware
Are there non-George Thorogood songs about America’s Portugal? You bet. Are there any Bob Dylan songs about Delaware? …As far as I can tell: no.
Podcast: Melanie
Meet Melanie Moore—a real-life hero who uses her VW crew cab to deliver sell and deliver books. Known as The Cincy Book Bus, she is a recognized figure in the Queen City. Best of all, all the profits she makes go directly to child literacy efforts.
Helvetia, WV
Ever since I lived in Switzerland for six glorious weeks as a guest of the Michalski Foundation, I have wanted to visit Helvetia, West Virginia. Hailed as one of the most Swiss towns in America, it bears a striking resemblance to my once-home at the foot of the Jura Mountains.
Leaving Part 2: Norm, our man in the clutch
What sort of cocktail of emotions did I feel when—as we were already running two days late for our adventure of a lifetime and I had a multi-hundred dollar repair—what sort of feelings did I have as the clutch petal slammed to the floor? Rage, I am sure what a large portion. Utter despair. TheContinue reading “Leaving Part 2: Norm, our man in the clutch”
