    Interesting and fun, with the huge bonus of being an Ontario based podcast, though there is loads of info for paddlers around the world.

  • Like the Red Green show for paddlers!

    As a Colorado based, primarily white water paddler, I am surprisingly infatuated now with Canadian flat water canoe culture. In large part thanks to this podcast and the entertaining nature of it. I hope that they can come out with a YouTube video blog of the podcast soon with some visuals. Since I don’t get to paddle as much as I would like listening to this podcast is like therapy for the river deprived.

The bonus is that they are up to date with what’s going on in the current times unlike many paddling podcasts. I’m from the Chicago area and they do touch on the Great Lakes quite a bit wh... more
