Angry Boater: Joel Sanders ·

2017/01/02

How do you get your electricity? How do you keep warm in the winter? How do you heat your water? The need to give long winded explanations to Muggles is finally over. 2 words: "Johnny Diesel." Topics covered include death, near death experiences & why this podcast almost didn't happen due to Joel's near death experience on the ramp leading down to Johnny's barge. Some really great stories on this episode plus discussion about the hows & whys of Johnny Diesel as well as tons of meandering

Angry Boater: Joel Sanders ·

2016/12/09

Tom Bier spent a year working on a coal boat in London. In this revealing episode, perhaps too candidly, he shares his experiences. Steff Coath has worked on a hotel boat for several seasons and, like Tom, has plenty of stories to share about servicing humans on the water. They now live together at Engineers Wharf on the Paddington Arm. Some extraordinary tales this week. No spoilers.

2016/12/04

A Towpath Ranger is not the same as a Power Ranger so instead of super powers, we talk about Dick's bygone days as a incompetent boater, marinas vs the cut, the work currently being carried out on the Paddington Arm, whether it's possible for cyclists to co-exist on the towpath with boaters & pedestrians.... and The Beach Boys. The Angry Boater' live show has a 2nd date at The George Inn, 261 High Street, Berkhamsted on Saturday, Sept 16th from 8 pm to 10.15 pm. Tickets & details:

Angry Boater: Joel Sanders ·

2016/11/25

Welcome to the Compodcast. Compost Queen, Kate Saffin, has been living on a narrowboat for 17 years & no longer concerns herself with the Pumpout vs Cassette debate. Instead, for the past 3 years she's been using a pair of buckets. An eye-popping discussion which will even show you the connection between human waste & Brexit. The creaking noise early on disappears after a few minutes. Apologies for the distraction. More info on composting can be found at: http://www.offgriddesigns.co.uk Kate can

Angry Boater: Joel Sanders ·

2016/11/20

John Privett, co-owner of Book Barge 'Word on the Water' is an Anarchist. In this lively & in depth episode, we discuss what that means, how he became one and whether living on the waterways supports or conflicts with the principles of Anarchy. We explore the serious issues like .... Do we need RULES on the canal & should we tolerate or punish those who do not follow them? Should Kings Cross become a privatised floating market? And the even more serious issues like.... Which celebrities have

008: Martyn Whitwell - Extreme Narrowboating

Angry Boater: Joel Sanders ·

2016/11/17

A fascinating talk with a unique & passionate boater. As Martyn Whitwell sits in his London flat, elsewhere, his beloved narrowboat sits on the cut. He keeps a close eye on it though - several times a day - via an online monitoring system that he's designed & customised himself. Like most boaters, his waterways activities slow down in the winter but, once the weather turns in his favour, Martyn covers more boating miles in a week than many manage in a year. As well as discussing his remote online

2016/11/01

Paul Curtis retired and bought his first boat last year - the fulfilment of a lifelong dream. It was bound to be perfect if it was new so he had a narrowboat built from scratch. What could go wrong? Here's a cautionary tale for anyone considering 'living the dream.' It's a fascinating conversation and it gets deep. This honest and human story goes far beyond the world of boating but, despite the horrors, it's an inspiring one too. 'The Angry Boater' live show will be at The George Inn, 261 High

Angry Boater: Joel Sanders ·

2016/10/20

Last year, whilst triple-moored in Kings Cross, I received a note on my boat, from Mikaela, asking me to move my vessel. It's one of the many things Mikaela and I discuss in this lively episode. We also focus on the challenges of boating in the capital including congestion & boats moored overnight at lock landings and we use role play to explore how Mikaela deals diplomatically with difficult boaters like 'Nigel.'

I first met Paddy when we were both students. We didn't know each other well. 30 years on, for the first time, we talk properly. It's a good time, deep sometimes, on boating, books and what it is to be human.

Angry Boater: Joel Sanders ·

2016/09/26

The number of chaplains on the UK's waterways is increasing. Midlands based chaplain, Richard Alford, has been working with boaters in difficulty for a few years and met up in Hemel Hempstead to talk about his work. During the interview he invited me to accept Christ into my life and, even though I declined, we survived the awkwardness and stayed friends.

Young newlywed boaters, Ed & Carli Fish have been boating for 3 years. We were double moored together in East London and bumped into each other again on the Grand Union this week.
