Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast focuses on themes of sailing, simple living, and storytelling, with episodes like the interview with Kiana Weltzien discussing her adventures at sea and creative practices. It highlights experiences of solo sailing, community building around seafaring, and projects promoting environmental sustainability, such as the 'Women & the Wind' movie.
Imagine you have just sailed across an ocean and now floating in the calm of your new anchorage, huddled by the fire pit on the center deck of your Poylnesian-inspired voyaging double canoe talking story with fellow voyagers and locals from the community. Such is the set and setting for Fire Pit Talks, a celebration of long-form conversations taking place around the digital fire pit.
Our second Wooden Boatopia Council meeting brought two new members into the fold — Belinda Joslin and Elizaveta Kaluzhskaia — joining Hanneke Boon, Obi and Otto from Blue Tree Boat Builders, and Angie, and the conversation immediately widened in useful ways.
A big chunk of the discussion focused on Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) and the ongoing challenge of applying them meaningfully to wooden boats and why we’re dedicated to contributing to submitting data to help improve LCAs.
Each council session reinforces that we’re not working in isolation. There is plenty of space for wooden boat builders to come together, share knowledge, and still make their mark in the industry.
