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.

  • Back to Reality: Allotment Bounties, We're Restless & Finding Our Next Adventure
    Jun 6 2026

    Life after the boat show brings a mix of restlessness and productivity. We’re navigating the "slow living" transition, balancing allotment harvests, and pondering the reality of being cut off from transport. From the ancient history of drovers' paths to a minor banking drama, at the local Aldi, this week is all about finding the rhythm in a life that’s forever changing. We also share our latest seasonal kitchen experiments—spoiler: there are lots of broad beans involved!

  • The Case of the Missing Biscuits and "Jim" the Tomato Plant
    May 15 2026

    In this week's episode, we finally get the microphones working (on the fifth attempt!) to bring you a dispatch from our favorite "wild mooring." We dive into the quiet magic of 4:00 AM sunrises and the curiosity of "two sleeps," while checking in on the allotment—including the miraculous survival of our volunteer tomato, Jim.

  • De-teching, Jumble Sales, and the Five-Year Itch
    Apr 16 2026

    In this episode, we dive into the highs and lows of a tech-induced sleepless night and the surprising joy of "de-teching." From the challenges of mastering a vintage-style digital audio player (don't call it an iPod!) to the nostalgic thrill of finding a wooden Spear & Jackson saw for a pound at the village jumble sale, we explore the balance between modern gadgets and old-school simplicity.


    We also celebrate a major milestone: five years since moving onto our boat, Laura Maisie. We reflect on the journey from our first boat, Constanze, to life in our "sardine tin" today. Plus, we discuss the hazards of 'Bluetooth waves', the absolute agony of a Chinese foot massage, and why you should never trust a ball of "mohair" without a burn test.


    Stick around for talk of allotments, library audiobooks, and our upcoming train trek across London with Archie the dog!
