This is a morning ritual I love! Thank you Joanne.
It’s a lot more than a report on Columbia River shipping. It is, as Joanne Rideout says in the show’s intro, about all things maritime. The Ship Report is gentle, accurate, and always interesting. If you dream about sailing, or have spent years at sea, I think you’ll enjoy this podcast.
The best way to start your day is listening to Joanne. I have learned so much about our beautiful river and the maritime industry itself. This podcast is a treasure and I am ever so grateful that Joanne continues to provide this service daily.
The Ship Report has long been one of my favorite radio programs/podcasts. It’s always a fun and studious listen as it covers the weather, daily ship traffic and other local (and international) events from the vantage point of Astoria, Oregon and the mouth of the Columbia River. It’s amazing what you learn about the local, regional and international economy listening to this show. Joanne Rideout has a fabulous voice plus her curiosity coupled with her research brings fascinating topics to live.
I’m only an occasional visitor to Astoria, but I do enjoy this program everyday now! The most relaxing 10 minutes on the radio today.
