United Kingdoma year ago - Just found about the parallel world of…
Narrowboating, and luckily stumbled upon David’s videos on Prime. We have been hooked since the first episode. Def a little escapism for us but also edge of the seat material. Have the swans grown? 21 locks in 3 hours? Weir alarm on the right! Watch your head in the tunnel. But first it’s time for a cuppa or GT already? Please continue! It is utterly enjoyable. Cheerio!
Apple Podcasts5Caramel TobyUnited Statesa year ago - Not a Goalhanger podcast
It’s a pleasure to stumble across people still making “proper podcasts”. Enthusiasts talking knowledgeably and passionately to their community about a niche subject. No careerist comedians or corporate sponsors. I like canals but boating is not really my thing. Having said that, I’m delighted that this podcast is out in the world.
Apple Podcasts4Jg_SaladUnited Kingdom2 years ago - Great content and well presented
Always enjoy David’s videos and now the podcast (of the monthly newsletter). Very knowledgeable and very well presented due to his past broadcasting experience. There are hundreds of YouTube’ers and Podcasts out there about the inland waterways of Great Britain but David’s if one of the few that is worth my time.
