‘Doris, You Darling Bus’ is a fortnightly podcast celebrating that unsung hero of the music industry, the humble tour bus, and its place in the wild world of music. Join Jonno Zilber as he chats with touring musicians about how they get around on tour, why they’ve chosen the vehicles they have to tour with and why that choice is so important. The podcast will explore the romantic expectations versus the harsh realities of living out of a van for weeks on end and along the way you’ll hear some amazing stories of luck, tragedy and MacGyver-esque problem solving that can only come from a musician down to their last dime and running late for a gig.
