My Son and I were paddling a Shearwater Sport and Chesapeake 17 Light, that we built together last winter in Powell River B.C. Dan has managed to interview many very accomplished...Read full review »

Been listening to episodes of HOWB back to back... to back... to back... Thanks, Dan, for a great podcast! The only thing I’m not looking forward to is being caught up and having to limit myself to one episode a week!

Recently my wife gave birth to our first child, a wonderful little boy. I grew up sailing and now am just so excited to be able to take him out on the water in the future. It has been on my mind and l started searching for a podcast that equaled my passion for getting out on the water and about...Read full review »

I’m getting ready to move to Seattle soon, and this podcast has been an incredible resource for me because I don’t know how to sail (yet), but through the podcast I’ve been able to learn MUCH more about the SCAMP Sailboat and other helpful resources for starting my sailing journey! Glad you’re...Read full review »

I listen to many podcasts many for serious technical information in my area of study and others for basic entertainment. This one has been different from the others in the same way it would be to stop by a friends workshop on the way home after work to shoot the brease and have a beer. Maybe do a...Read full review »

HOWB podcast is one of the best ways to immerse yourself in wooden boat culture. You will learn and laugh your way through the episodes.. And you will be pumped to build your first boat or another one to add to your fleet. Great variety of guests, and each episode is just as interesting as the...Read full review »

I am getting back into building wooden boats, Dan does a excellent job with his interviews either with guests or solo!! All very interesting, informative and entertaining. This podcast takes a lot of time to produce, thanks for the excellent podcast.

Dan is an excellent host and interviews really interesting guests, all related to wooden boats. Excellent to listen to while driving or working in the garage.

This is a great podcast. I would really like to see (HEAR) more east coast interviews, perhaps with the wooden boat school staff in Brookline ME.

Nice work, Dan! Great to listen to on long drives. Dan comes across as a laconic and laid back guy on the audio track, but then you know he’s must be organized, as he is up to episode 117, and may not ever have missed a week! Keeps my interest in wooden boats fired up!

Living far from the sea or any major water it is hard to find kindred spirits who love wooden boats. Your podcast keeps my enthusiasm up when it is most needed. Keep up the interesting topics and the great conversational style. Pete

It is amazing to hear about all of the activity going on with wooden boats. Men and women from all walks of life get interviewed about their interest in wooden boats. Great podcast from an enthusiastic podcaster.
AndrewY from Oz via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 06/30/12
Great podcast - an episode usually blends a tad bit of the author's past and current experience with amateur wooden boatbuilding, an interview with someone in the industry and coming events within the northwestern woodenboat community. New episodes every thursday.Read full review »
