Most people aren't neutral about the idea of living in a car, and that's exactly why we needed to talk about it.This week, we dig into the stigma, structure, and stories behind van life. It's not a guide on how to gut a Sprinter or stealth-camp in a Target parking lot, it's a deeper exploration of what it means to live differently and why that still freaks people out.From the viral story of Dawn Robinson of En Vogue (yes, *that* Dawn) who shared that she's been living in her car by choice for the past three years, to our personal stories of barbers, truckers, and friends navigating life on the margins of “traditional” housing, we cover the full terrain of what it means to opt out of the norm. Spoiler alert: it's complicated.We cover:Why alternative housing is still treated as “failure” unless it's influencer-approvedThe invisible infrastructure that makes van life even possible and why it's not always fully “off-the-grid”Why HUD, housing policy, and language matter more than you thinkThe difference between choosing van life vs. surviving itHow Black culture relates to nontraditional housing, and why we don't often see ourselves in the #vanlife aestheticThe emotional, financial, and logistical costs of so-called “freedom”This is one of those “sit with it” episodes. It's not about romanticizing struggle or glamorizing minimalism, it's about challenging the way we define dignity, shelter, success, and the American dream.Because let's be honest: if someone chooses to live in a van and finds peace, why does it make the rest of us so uncomfortable?Listen in. Challenge your definitions. And maybe, just maybe, reconsider what home really means.

April arrives with 3 feet of new snow in Lake Tahoe, making it feel more like January than spring. PowBot recaps his best tour of the year at Lassen National Park while Trail Whisperer breaks his snowmobile. The boys give some listener shout outs and play some 888 COR LORD call-ins, diving deeper into whether or not solo backcountry skiing is dope or derp and if a van is better suited for adventures than a pickup with 4 Wheel Camper. They also discuss the show's intro and outro songs and where all the sound bites came from, decide which of the five senses are most important to them, chat about corner crossing over private land and the controversial reintroduction of the gray wolf into northern California. The show ends with a song called RNO by Trail Whisperer's old band, Man Downstream, paying tribute to the Biggest Little City in the World. 3:00 – Spring is here and it's still winter! Sinter. Apriluary.5:30 – Lots of snow up on Packer Saddle. Downieville Downhill isn't going to melt out until late June at earliest.6:40 – PowBot's PowDar was firing on all cylinders and scored pow at Lassen National Park.17:00 – Trail Whisperer breaks his snowmobile.21:38 – Any good April Fools jokes? @powderbuoy and @tahoefund25:55 – Listener feedback and shout outs about ebikes and west shore skin tracks.31:00 – 888 COR LORD Call Ins – Solo Backcountry Skiing and Van Life vs 4Wheel Camper life.50:11 – 888 COR LORD Call Ins – Gordo calls us out on season passes.

How much do we REALLY know about eclipses?My answer one year ago would have been - not much.-To amend this, my dog and I witness a total solar eclipse and - nearly a year later - a lunar eclipse in Southern Florida. We use each experience to explore the profound cultural, historical and scientific significance of eclipses.Sit back, relax and join our venture into cosmic happenings well beyond the walls of our small van ...Listener questions at the end of the episode include: If you found a large diamond in Arkansas - what would you do with the money? Did it take you a long time to understand your van's electric system? Will your show be coming to YouTube? Can we get an updated Audiobook recommendation episode? How long in general does it take you to research an episode?

"The fine city" - Im Stadtstaat der Superlative kannst du für drei Euro ein Michelin-Gericht bekommen, Tauben solltest du damit aber besser nicht füttern. Man kann sich aber auch an Durian versuchen, dem "kulinarischen Stockholm-Syndrom". Singapur strotzt vor Selbstbewustsein und Kraft. 5,9 Millionen Menschen leben hier auf einer Fläche, vielleicht so groß wie Hamburg. Fast ein Drittel des weltweiten Devisenhandels läuft über dieses internationale Finanzzentrum. Und international ist Singapur wie fast keine zweite Stadt der Welt. Wir fühlen uns wohl zwischen den Kulturen und Religionen von denen es hier reichlich gibt. Und alle werden geschätzt, respektiert und gefeiert. Irgendwie ist Singapur auch dadurch eine Stadt der Zukunft. Doch hier und da blitzt zwischen den riesigen Einkaufsmalls, dem gut geregelten Verkehr und den tausenden kleinen Foodständen der Druck auf, der mit all der beeindruckenden Science-Fiction Kulisse einhergeht. Lange Arbeitszeiten, rigide Gesetze und "Kiasu", die Angst als Verlierer zurück zu bleiben, führen wohl dazu, dass sich Singapur (noch) nicht auf der Liste der glücklichsten Länder der Erde findet. Übrigens sind Kaugummis wirklich verboten. Und Tauben füttern. Und nach dem Toilettengang nicht zu spülen auch. Das wird kontrolliert! Viel Freude beim Mitreisen! wer aktuell mehr von uns sehen will: https://www.ardmediathek.de/sendung/psychologie-to-do-der-naechste-schritt/Y3JpZDovL3dkci5kZS9wc3ljaG9sb2dpZXRvZG8 Wir freuen uns, wenn ihr uns weiter an euren Erlebnissen teilhaben lasst oder Tipps und Fragen zu unseren nächsten Reisezielen (Bangkok) habt: klickt hier -> [Anrufbeantworter](https://www.speakpipe.com/happytogo) Weil so viele nach unseren anderen Songs gefragt haben: unser "Album" gibts jetzt unter https://happytogo.hearnow.com hier findet ihr unseren Titelsong und Songs in französischer, spanischer australischer und alternativer Version.

When Laraine’s husband died, her kids told her to stay put. Instead, she bought an RV, named her Matilda and drove away. Now, she’s a full-time “grey nomad,” looping Australia instead of ‘mowing lawns’. In this episode, Laraine shares what it takes to downsize a life into a van, what her kids really think, the most breathtaking places she’s been, and when she’s felt truly afraid.Retirement doesn’t have to look like it used to—some keep working, others chase freedom. Laraine’s is a story that proves life after work can be whatever you want it to be. THE END BITS: Share your feedback!

“The most difficult part about traveling the world isn't actually the logistics of a trip—it's finding the courage to go in the first place.” —Matt Kepnes In this episode of Deviate, Rolf and Matt talk about how his travel style has changed over the years, and how fears affect people’s travels (1:00); strategies for saving money on the road (10:30); and strategies for finding activities on the road, and where to start a long-term journey (19:30). Matt Kepnes (@nomadicmatt), commonly known as “Nomadic Matt,” is a travel blogger and the New York Times bestselling author of Travel the World on $75 a Day and Ten Years a Nomad.

Head over to www.drawntoyourstory.com to see more illustrationsWhen you picture someone who skydives, cliff jumps, and skateboards, you might imagine a wild thrill-seeker living on the edge. Ryan Herron shatters this stereotype with his refreshingly calculated approach to adventure. "Adrenaline is what you get when you mess up," he explains, revealing how methodical preparation underpins his seemingly risky pursuits.Ryan takes us behind the scenes of Skatewives, the popular social media account he created with his wife Emily during their van life adventures across America. What began as Emily reluctantly filming Ryan's skateboarding tricks blossomed into content that humorously bridges the gap between skateboarding insiders and outsiders. Through Emily's fresh perspective, viewers gain insight into skateboarding culture's peculiar rituals that seasoned skaters take for granted.The conversation explores how skateboarding's unique mindset shapes character and decision-making. "I don't know that there's any other facet of my life where I have attempted something hundreds of times and failed," Ryan reflects, explaining how this perseverance transferred to his career building a cannabis data analytics company and navigating major life transitions. His story demonstrates how the determination to get back up after falling becomes a powerful life philosophy.Ryan's approach to risk—whether in business, relationships, or extreme sports—centers around process mastery rather than reckless abandon. A harrowing story about parachute line twists inside a cloud illustrates his thoughtful relationship with danger, where respect for risk leads to better preparation rather than fear-based avoidance. For anyone looking to push their boundaries while staying grounded, Ryan's journey offers a masterclass in calculated adventuring.Ready to explore the unexpected wisdom that comes from falling a thousand times, only to get up and try again? This episode will change how you think about risk-taking, perseverance, and finding flow in life's most challenging moments.Dang, if you read this far leave a comment below of you favorite animal and your favorite thing to do. And we will see what happens with my pen.Thanks Matty

It's unlikely that there is anyone on earth who by now has not heard the name Gabby Petito. This heartbreaking tale captured the world's attention and through her van life journey and social media posts and the latest Netflix documentary the world got to know and fall in love with her.Gabby was the all American girl who seemed to fully embody all the traits that people admire and aspire to; pure joy, endless smiles, a gentle soul, a kind spirit, adventuous, exuberant and a zest for life and living to the absolute fullest. She was an artist from the very beginning and seemed to want everything to align with her vision of creating a beautiful life from a boyfriend who she adored, the trip of a lifetime and a budding career as a creator which would allow her to incorporate all of these. If not for the tragedy that befelled her most of us would never have known Gabby. The world got to see a snapshot of her life. But I think it's fair to say had we had the chance to know Gabby we all would have loved her.

This conversation is all about empowering women, the power of self-assurance, and celebrating our unique identities. We laugh a lot and reflect on what it means to live a life that's genuinely ours.

In August 2021, Gabby Petito went missing while on holiday with her fiancé, Brian Laundrie. The pair were six weeks into a four month trip across the United States. They'd been living out of Gabby's specially decked out van, documenting and filming every adventure so she could share it on her growing social media platforms. But when the 22-year-old suddenly stopped posting, her family began to fear the worst. Gabby's high-profile disappearance sparked an unprecedented social media movement to find her. An unstoppable onslaught of amateur sleuths and armchair detectives exposed a story no one was prepared to ignore, as the world hung on each development in the nationwide search for Gabby, her fiance, and the truth.
