Friday Nov 14, 2025
Released on August 7th 2020, Episode Three saw Broken Oars Podcast welcome its first ever guest - the incredible, inimitable Di Binley. For some reason neither of us can remember, Dr. Lewin Hynes, yet to be dubbed the Southern One, flew solo on this episode - and does a brilliant job, because, well, he's brilliant.

A coming-of-age for Broken Oars Podcast as one of us works out how to edit audio; another of us breaks a foot; and we welcome our first guest to the pod:
Former owner and driving force behind Rock the Boat, the shop all rowers have used at some point, and still a fount of general rowing awesomeness, Di Binley joins us.
We chat about Di's background in rowing, Rock the Boat's founding and development, the evolution of rowing during her time in it - highlighting the importance of community; volunteers; being nice and having fun to this wonderful sport that we all know and love.
We also give a big shout-out to Rebecca Caroe and open our arms to the worldwide rowing community (while maintaining our (possibly deluded) belief that we can probably take most of them on the line ...).
Get Some!
Ladies and Gentleman, full crew, from backstops ...
