Podcast appearances and mentions of van sounds

Fil Corbitt is a musician, podcast producer and videographer living in the woods of the Sierra Nevada, near Reno, Nevada. He has developed the successful podcast Van Sounds, but his new project takes the idea of podcasting and turns it on its head: rather than a show about talking, Fil's creating a show about listening. A chat with Fil about his project and how podcasts can listen more.

I found a handsaw in the mountains, sticking out of the snow. I carried it deep into the woods and used it to build a desk from a felled tree. This desk is where I produce and record the podcast.

Van Sounds speaks to Joe Exotic about running for President of the United States of America in 2016. It originally aired on the episode "That's Politics."

Join us for Your Podcast or Mine! Sherry speaks with Fil Corbett, the creative mind behind Van Sounds. Van Sounds is a podcast about movement.

Though the Playa has been made famous by the biggest party in the world, Nevada’s Burner Byway Road Trip is about everything BUT Burning Man. ‘Cause let’s face it—the road from Reno to the Black Rock Desert and beyond is loaded with some of the largest wilderness areas in the lower 48, surreal landscapes, natural hot springs, some of the darkest designated skies in America, ancient rock carvings, and larger-than-life open air installations inspired by this very place itself. It’s no coincidence that thousands of people make the annual pilgrimage “home” to the Black Rock each year to hit the reset button and grab onto a caliber of freedom found nowhere else. Freedom is in this desert. Always here, open, and waiting along the #BurnerByway. Episode II picks up where we left off at Pyramid Lake, further up the Burner Byway road trip in Gerlach. We begin by chatting with Friends of Black Rock, who lends fascinating insight on the open air installation at Guru Road, as well as the founders of Planet X Pottery—both of whom were inspired by the beauty of the Black Rock to create their work. From there, we sling back some of Bruno’s famous ravioli and a picon punch or two, explore Fly Geyser, and get a glimpse of how vastly spectacular all 799k acres of Black Rock Desert truly is. To learn more details about the Burner Byway and other road trips, visit TravelNevada.com. This podcast was produced by Fil Corbitt of Van Sounds. Find more information about him and his work at VanSounds.org. Intro music in this episode is a song called “Space Camp” by Reno artist Buffalo Moses. The outro was an original song by Reno artist People With Bodies.

Learn more about Burning Man and the world-class art that stemmed from it at the Reno Playa Art Park, and the only accredited art museum in Nevada, that lives in the same bracket as New York’s MET. From here, we dive further into the route at the breathtaking Pyramid Lake—an ancient glacial lake known for its endless Paiute history and entrancing scenery.

There’s a wisdom in tradition and history that’s worth learning from—equal parts brain and heart—and there sure is a whole lot of it found along Nevada’s Cowboy Corridor Road Trip. In this three part series, hear from Nevadans who, over multi-generations, have formed a deep bond with the northern Nevada landscape, making this part of the Great Basin unlike any other. From Basque sheepherding, to Ranch Brewed Beer, Ghost Towns, Mining, Rodeos, and Cowboying, the history and heritage found along the Cowboy Corridor runs deep, and is yours for the exploring. #CowboyCorridor In the first episode of this three-part series, we embark along the Cowboy Corridor starting at its eastern most point in West Wendover, along Nevada’s portion of Interstate 80. Here, we chat with this sparkling city perched on the western edge of the Bonneville Salt Flats, who’ve embraced live music as part of their story for more than 70 years. From there we move west to meet with one of Nevada’s oldest microbreweries, and tried and true places to refuel that have been a fixture of the Elko skyline for decades.

Capriola Co., one of the American West’s most legendary custom saddle and leather goods shops. The legacy of the man who started it is very much alive here, and next door, at the Cowboy Arts & Gear Museum. From here, we head west to Winnemucca to connect with the founder of the Buckaroo Hall of Fame to learn about the place that commemorates the men who ran cattle in Nevada’s Great Basin for centuries. Striking up a conversation over Picon’s at The Martin Hotel leads us to the Winnemucca Basque Club’s dance rehearsal, and a historical nightcap of Basque families who have sheep herded, been part of the Winnemucca basque boarding houses, and moved the Nevada story forward for decades.  To learn more details about the Burner Byway and other road trips, visit TravelNevada.com.

In the final episode of this three-part series, Fil Corbitt meets up with a family responsible for saving a piece of Nevada’s pioneer spirit in the living ghost town of Unionville. In Unionville, we connect with Nevada’s mining history, maybe even a few Mark Twain mentions, and how the modern day caretakers are moving the Nevada story forward in this 150 year old ghost town. We learn more about Nevada’s early days in Lovelock and Seven Troughs ghost town before capping off this #NVRoadTrip like a true northern Nevada would at one of the most storied rodeos in the West.

Really stoked to announce that this week's episode is a swap with The Dirtbag Diaries. They'll be playing a condensed version of the Dice Series, and this is a Diaries episode (Crash & Burn) that seemed to fit wildly well with Van Sounds. As you heard in Dice #5, I too drive a mid-90s Toyota pickup (though mine's a T-100 from 2 years later) and on the dice trip, I rolled over to 300,000 miles.

"We started the trip without much of a purpose," writes Fil Corbitt. "We wanted to be pushed around. Wanted to find something we didn't know we were looking for. We wanted to take some small chance and see where we landed. And see which side was facing up."  But how do you find that kind of serendipity when you only have a week? Fil created a game. Each morning, he and his friend would wake up and roll a single dice. The rules? A one meant go north. 2 = east, 3 = south, 4 = west, 5 = stay put and 6 meant to cross the nearest state border. The only rule? No backtracking.  Today, we follow Fil as he and his friend Brian figuratively and literally roll the dice and see where they land. And which side is facing up.    This episode originally aired as a six-part series on Fil's awesome podcast, Van Sounds. We cut quite a bit of material to turn it into a single piece. You can listen to the full version of the Dice series as well as other awesome travel stories, like the Freight Train episode, at: http://vansounds.org/
