Blizzards, screaming kids, and a 40-foot “long car.” Ever wondered how bus drivers actually keep cool when roads ice over and the radio won’t shut up? Dive into winter driving, behavior hacks, and one spicy news story. Listen now—what grinds your gears most?

A simple “good morning” can flip a whole bus route. We unpack greeting tactics, seating strategy, and why radio chatter drives us nuts. Hit play and tell us: what’s one small habit that changed your workday?

Snow day or not, we still roll. We talk safety under whiteouts, the politics of calling closures, and a driver fired over a language sign. Tune in, weigh the nuance, and share: what’s your call on that decision?

Climb aboard for a ride you’ve never taken before. School Bus Banter pulls back the yellow curtain on the real world of school bus driving — the early mornings, the chaos, the heart, and the hilariously unexpected moments that only happen when you’re responsible for dozens of tiny humans before 8 a.m.

Hosted by two veteran drivers who’ve seen it all (and probably cleaned it up), this show mixes on-the-road stories, behind-the-scenes insights, safety know-how, and the kind of humor you only earn by surviving years of middle-school field trips. Whether you drive a bus, used to ride one, or just enjoy stories that bounce between outrageous and relatable, you’re in the right seat.

Start the engine. Close the door. Let’s roll.
