  • A Canal Programme Inspired by Skateboarding and Comedy...
    May 23 2025

    Believe it or not the making of Canal Boat Diaries draws its ins from many different other genres of filmmaking. Not only the personal self-shot vlogging style taken from my YouTube videos, but also skate videos from the 90s and a fledgling stand up comedy career! You’ll even find out where the phrase ‘let’s crank it’ came from and I tell a funny story from my Pub of the Week in Oxford.

    This podcast is packed full as we delve into the making of season six episode two, from Ayno Wharf on the Oxford Canal to Bablock Hythe on the upper Thames.
