  • It Wasn't Me

    We need clean water for boats! Get wise on water pollution and the Gowanus Canal toxic waste cleanup from a Superfund expert who wishes to remain anonymous. We learn how our rivers, lakes, streams, and bays in the US went from industrial dumping grounds and sewars to the beautiful places we boat today, and how the worst of the polluted sites from hundreds of years ago got cleaned up through public private collaboration. Like the easter egg after the outro? Check out Mac Glocky on YouTube, brilliant. New merch available at https://www.stickermule.com/theboatyshow check us out on YouTube @theboatyshow.

  • No Sleep Til Gowanus

    This is a good one. From the Gowanus Canal to Rockaway beaches, Jamaica Bay to Red Hook, Stephan von Muehlen takes us along the Brooklyn and Queens waterfront. Stephan has lived, worked, and loved the hidden littoral spaces of New York City for over twenty years. Learn about a waterborne art and activist community that plays hard and works harder to keep Brooklyn grounded and show people that they don't have to go to the Hamptons to enjoy the water. We're joined by Stephan's wife and our longtime friend Anna who shares her own view and experiences from a life on the water. Stephan believes in making stuff in Brooklyn, where he leads a company that builds pour-over coffee machines a block away from the Gowanus Canal. Check out Stephan's company www.poursteady.com and enjoy the show! Thanks so much for listening, look for video of the episode on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TheBoatyShow.
