Kate and Adrien watch and review the first episode of the Netflix series "Crew Girl!" They react to the show's portrayal of rowing, with both noting inaccuracies in the rowing scenes and the characters' technique. They appreciated the show's inclusion of rowing culture and equipment brands but found the storyline and character development lacking. They also discussed the potential for future episodes to improve the rowing representation and the possibility of a women's team being formed.

We are pulling out one of our favorite episode from the Rowing Friends Vault.

Rowing Friends welcomed Matt Logue, UB Crew Alumni to the podcast.  The group caught up on personal updates and discussed Matt's current roles, including his position as executive director at 3 Rivers Rowing Association and his work on the US Rowing Safety Committee. They explored safety concerns in rowing, with Matt highlighting the importance of life jackets, swimming abilities, and heat guidelines, while emphasizing the need for a conversational approach to safety rather than a punitive one. The conversation shifted to the unique challenges of rowing compared to other sports, and Kate shared her perspective as a new parent in the rowing community.  Discussions touched on indoor training facilities, ergometer testing, and the challenges faced by returning rowers. The group also explored plans for future events, including a potential UB alumni boat for the Head of the Ohio race and the organization of a "Return to Row Day" in 2026.

We are so excited to share this episode with Charlotte Balogh, author of the upcoming young adult novel "Capsized," which is based on her high school rowing experiences and will be released on September 8th. Charlotte discussed her dual background in rowing and writing, explaining how she started conceptualizing the book in 2017 and began writing it in 2018 while working as an executive assistant at DC Entertainment and Warner Brothers. She described the challenging journey to publication, including rejections from publishers who wanted more romance or mystery elements, the eventual sale to Hulu for TV adaptation, and her efforts to balance rowing terminology for both rowing enthusiasts and general readers. The conversation covered topics like toxic competition in sports, the intentional inclusion of diverse characters beyond stereotypes about elite rowing, and Charlotte's current coaching at Row LA while living in Los Angeles. The interview also touched on her upcoming book tour events in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Syracuse, where she will be promoting "Capsized" and connecting with rowing teams and readers.

In this episode we interview Tarrin Kuehner, the treasurer of UB Rowing, and catch up with the current state and plans of the University at Buffalo rowing club. The club is focusing heavily on recruiting and has planned several events including putting boats on campus and hosting racing demonstrations. They are planning to attend three regattas including the Head of the Genesee, potentially the Mohawk Classic, and are deciding between Head of the Fish and Head of the Schuylkill. Tarrin discussed the club's structure, which operates under the Student Association with a president, vice president, treasurer, secretary, and other officers, and they work with West Side Rowing Club for equipment and insurance purposes. The team practices at Tonawanda Creek Veterans Park and is currently seeking indoor practice facilities for winter training. The conversation also covered fundraising ideas, including potential alumni donations and merchandise sales, as well as the challenges of finding appropriate indoor spaces on campus for ergometers.
