Story Time at the Roo Bus

We're crossing two of our favorite things this week as we welcome Atlanta Braves Radio Network play by play announcer Ben Ingram to the show! Ben is not only the voice of the Braves, but also a huge live music guy and we have a great time talking about some of his favorite albums and shows. Sharla and Daniel also hang a bit and talk about Día de los Muertos de la Mascota, or Day of the Dead for pets!

It started as a joke a few episodes ago: Has there been a Roovian who has been to Everest? Turns out, our new friend Rob has! He tells us about his adventures at some of the Bonnaroo's of old, as well as his trips to Africa and Everest Base Camp. Sharla and Daniel also have a few weekly picks as well, this is an awesome one you don't want to miss.

Brooklin and Daniel are live from Chattanooga for Shaina's birthday for Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, plus we have some special guests drop by. Then Sharla and Daniel are back at the house in Huntsville to talk Phish and much more. It's been a wild jammy weekend!

Daniel is back from Shaky Knees, and it feels like the bottom fell out not only that Saturday in Atlanta, but across the country for pretty much every festival. Are we entering a new era where festivals just feel entirely like a gamble? We'll take a look at it and much more.

Sometimes Black Rock City doesn't give you the Burn that you wanted, it gives you the Burn that you needed. So Sharla and Daniel needed a challenging Burn this year apparently! Learn about our adventures and everything new that we learned about Burning Man as we detail some of the wild and tough things that happened to us this year.

Sharla and Daniel had been out to Burning Man, so we got the gang of Sky, Evan, Shaina and J-Bone to take over for us! They take a look at some of the options of what JB and others might want to attend next year instead of Bonnaroo, including, yes, the Banana Pudding Festival.

Sharla and Daniel are driving all the way from North Alabama to North Nevada for Burning Man 2026, and we're taking you along the way! We talk Black Rock City, the road trip, the stops to eat along the way, Route 66, and much more.

Many of us heard the rumors for a bit, and then of course the news hit on Friday morning. Bonnaroo will take a hiatus for a year to let the grounds take a break.

Sharla and Daniel take a look for what this means for the community and culture as we wait on Bonnaroo 2028, but we also have a lot of new details and news to share. Including one piece of information that we think will have you feeling a lot better about the future of Bonnaroo.

The Bradley's are taking over this week, with both Shaina and her brother Blaze here to talk about Hulaween 2026! We'll go over the free for all that is camping in 80 Acres, how the opposing stages work wonderful, the mystery of Wookville, and much more.

Let's follow up on our panel discussion from last week and talk about what YOU want out of Bonnaroo 2027!

Do you want to see things like Where in the Woods and Tuesday entry return? Should That Tent move back to the original location? Who do you most want to see headline next year?

Plus, what's up with the lack of an announcement on 2027's dates? Should we be concerned? (Short answer: Probably not but maybe.)

Sharla and Daniel also talk about our adventures in Nashville this last week, a peek into the future of TOTEM, and also have a few weekly picks.
