Love hearing all the history of the scene. I grew up in LA in the 70s, 80s and 90s. It’s amazing how much of it happened in my backyard. Great podcast. Always gets me motivated to go out to the garage and wrench on one of my cars.
Apple Podcasts5swhitcombUnited Statesa year ago I’ve been into air cooled VWs from a young age. I’m not young anymore and took a break for about 5 years. I came across Bill’s podcast when looking for some good books to listen to. Bill is so enthusiastic about this hobby it inspired me to jump back into everything VW. I’ve been binge listening for the last 5 months and I learn something new every day. Not a single boring moment. Bill is the perfect host and ambassador.
