Our World This Week

Floating Our Boat

Our World This Week is a (mostly) weekly podcast from Fran and Rich, creators of the Floating Our Boat YouTube channel.

For the past eight years, we’ve been cruising the canals and rivers of Britain aboard our narrowboat Laura Maisie. In this podcast, we slow things down a little — talking honestly about life afloat, the everyday moments that shape our weeks, and the thoughts that surface when you choose a life less ordinary.

More personal and candid than our videos, Our World This Week offers a quieter window into our lives — reflections, stories, with the occasional laugh along the way.
