Introducing the 2Up and Overloaded Podcast: Our Travels, Our Stories, Your Questions Answered!

🎙️ Welcome to Our Audio Adventure 🎙️
​

What does life actually look like after more than eight years of traveling the world by motorcycle? In our new PODCAST, Marisa and I will go far beyond the highlight reels, sharing the full journey from our earliest rides, to the remote roads and unexpected moments that shaped our life on the road. This is where we unpack the reality of an around the world motorcycle adventure, from the wins to the setbacks, the challenges that tested us, and the lessons that stayed with us. It is an honest, behind the scenes look at adventure motorcycling, and the stories we have never shared... until now.

Why Start a Podcast?

While our YouTube videos will continue to showcase our current adventures, this podcast spans our full journey of over eight years of travel from before we ever pressed record on a GoPro or writing our first blog. We will dive into the crashes, close calls, cultural surprises, and lessons we’ve learned along the way. This is where we explore the stories that never made it into videos or blogs, including the moments that tested our patience, endurance, and relationship.

We are thrilled to launch our very first podcast, going live on March 28th! 🎉
The first episode, Our Origin Story | From Chicago to 8+ Years on the Road, is already recorded and scheduled to air on March 28th here on Patreon or on your favorite podcast app. But before we record more episodes, we want to hear from you: the people this podcast is made for. What questions have you always wanted to ask about life on the road?

We Need Your Input

We want this podcast to answer the questions you’ve always wondered about. Imagine sitting across from us at a campfire, what would you ask? Here are a few examples we’re planning to explore:
​
• Funding Long-Term Travel – How do we afford to stay on the road for years on end?
• Adventure Bike Debate – Big and powerful or small and agile? Which wins on the road?
• Convincing Your Partner – How I persuaded Marisa to ride around the world with me 😉
• Motorcycle Maintenance Skills, or lack thereof – What do I need to know to get by?

• Marriage on the Road – How we’ve stayed together through stress, long trips, and epic challenges
• Social Media – Behind the scenes of creating YouTube videos, blogs, and our podcast. Is it worth it?
• Packing: What’s in your luggage and how do you decide what to bring on long-term motorcycle trips?

• Why Marisa doesn’t ride her own motorcycle
• Favorite continent / countries
• Health emergencies from Peru to Indonesia to Thailand

Which of these questions stand out to you? Or do you have your own? Your input will help shape the stories and episodes we share, making this podcast a true conversation with our adventure community. We would love for you to comment on this post or in the 2Up and Overloaded Community Chat Group on Patreon with your questions!

This podcast is for adventurers, dreamers, and riders of all levels, and we hope it inspires you to explore, plan, and maybe even take the leap to see the world on two wheels.
