One Last Detour: Revisiting the Happy Trucker Show
Way back in the summer of 2021, one month before embarking on the trip of a lifetime in our 1979 VW Bus, we called into the flagship show of Happy Productions—a Wednesday night program called The Happy Trucker Show. Now, with the trip behind us, we decided to revisit the interview and run some commentary on our past selves.

Miranda and James (with Ken!) (S9, E6)
Back in 2018, James and Miranda put their bus, Adie, up for sale on eBay. An unwitting guy from Ohio named Ryan Ireland would buy this bus and later produce a podcast called, “So You Owned a VW Bus.” It’s only fitting that the penultimate episode of the series be with with Miranda and James as they talk about their journey with Adie and the guy from Ohio who bought it.

Detour #9: The Finer Things in Life
The VW bus runs on gasoline and luck, but the inhabitants are often fueled by coffee (as is the case with us). Before we got into the VW part of the interview with Carson we geeked out about coffee and fine wristwatches. And, we gotta say, this guy knows his stuff.

Carson (S9, E5)
Carson is a professional musician with a story to share. For him, the VW bus is an emotional journey that has come to define his relationship with his father.

Great podcast about VWs and their owners
The perfect podcast for people who want to hear the stories behind the VW bus community. Most of the stories are heartwarming or funny and there’s not a lot of gearhead talk, which makes it more accessible.
So you owned a VW bus!
What an amazing couple, Ryan and Miracle bring us entertaining podcasts about everyday people who have fun and interesting stories about their VW bus. Listen up!!
Light hearted, entertaining and Buses.
I’ve listened to all episode and find the show light hearted, entertaining and engaging. I enjoy hearing the diverse stories from Volkswagen owners. As many in the podcast I’ve owned a Volkswagen Bus and will again in the near future, but in the meantime this show is filling the void. Aloha!
