A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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 building boats. This is it! Dan has an amazing passion for wooden boats, and the world is a better place because he decided to share it. There are amazing stories of adventure, boat building, history, and so much more. What I love most is hearing the stories and passions of the people he interviews. Hope you are enjoying a much deserved break, Dan. Looking forward to future podcasts!

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 back, Dan!

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 previous. Great work Dan !!

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.
