Dear Listener, thank you for your attention to our podcast, which, unlike many and most activities on the internet is not free to make. Should you be enjoying the podcast and wish to help us make more episode please consider buying us a coffee or purchasing one of our digital downloads at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/brokenoarsd. Thank you again for listening.

A coming-of-age for Broken Oars Podcast as one of us works out how to edit audio; another of us breaks a foot; and we welcome our first guest to the pod:

Former owner and driving force behind the shop all rowers have used and still a fount of general rowing awesomeness, Di Binley joins us.

We talk about Di's background in rowing; Rock the Boat's founding and development; the evolution of the sport during her time in it; the importance of community; volunteers; being nice and having fun to this wonderful sport that we all know and love.

We also give a big shout-out to Rebecca Caroe and open our arms to the worldwide rowing community (while maintaining our (possibly deluded) belief that we can probably take most of them on the line ...).

Get Some!

Ladies and Gentleman, full crew, from backstops ...

Try listening to us with a coffee - and if you're feeling generous, stand us one.
