Ep. 25 | A New Podcast Format and the Orange Crush Origin Story

After a year of producing interview based podcasts, we have decided to reformat the show to share our family journey overlanding across the Americas in our 1978 Mercedes 508D.

After a year of producing interview based podcasts, we have decided to reformat the show to share our family journey overlanding across the Americas in our 1978 Mercedes 508D. Each week we’ll update you all on where we are at and highlights from the past week along with a deep dive into subjects ranging from pros and cons of overlanding, travel advice, raising kids on the road, homeschool and any other topics that come up. 

So where did this thing come from is a question we here a lot when driving in our hot orange, 1978 Mercedes 508D Command & Control Center. Everyone wants to know what it is, where it came from, how much we paid and what we’re doing in it. So instead of answering everyone one by one, we decided to make a podcast about Orange Crush - our iron stead faithfully whisking us from place to place. 

So from Onyx Pass, CA - we share an update from the past week including installing a new water tank, officially leaving Joshua Tree and getting back to the mountains. Next we dive into how Orange Crush came to be. If you’re curious about why we decided to make this major life transition, I’d recommend listening to Season 1, Episode 1.  You could also visit a couple blog posts to check out how the van looked originally and then a van tour to check out the build we hit the road with.

ABOUT THE PODCAST
