Our World This Week is a 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.

  • Rich and His GIBBON Moon and Dog Biscuits in the Coffee!
    Apr 4 2026

    This week’s podcast starts with one of those days, where nothing quite goes to plan.

    From there, we wander through full moons and “senior moments”, Easter traditions past and present, and life as always on the canal — from houseplants and allotment growing to supermarket deliveries in the middle of nowhere.

    We chat about everything from moon phases and planting by nature, to the origins of Easter, community life, and why this time of year always feels like a bit of a reset.

    It’s a seasonal episode as we head into the Easter weekend — with a bit of humour, a bit of reflection, and plenty of everyday boat life along the way.

    Wherever you are, we hope you have a lovely weekend.

  • Boat Life, The Hunger Gap & A Year of Challenges Ahead
    Mar 29 2026

    Spring has arrived on the canal, bringing longer days, restless nights, and plenty of change.

    This week we chat about sleep struggles, meditation mishaps, and the realities of getting older. Back on the allotment, there’s a new challenge, growing everything from seed while we work towards being more self-sufficient.

    We also share signs of the season—chiff chaffs, ducklings, and the “hunger gap”—plus thoughts on rising diesel costs and what it could mean for boat life.

    Simple living, nature, and life afloat this week.

  • From Disco Nights to Skylark Flights
    Mar 13 2026

    This week finds us being thoroughly rocked by wild March winds sweeping up the Severn estuary.


    Inside the boat, the galley has turned into a floating garden centre with seed trays, grow lights and hopeful young plants everywhere — signs that allotment season is gathering pace.

    Join us for a reflective catch-up about spring rhythms, boat life realities, and the small things that continue to make us smile after eight years afloat.

I liked the balanced conversation between wife and husband...neither one stepping on the other while discussing a topic. Very relaxing.

It was interesting to hear rational for lifestyle changes.
