The Fishing Beat Poet

The John Geirach of Lancashire, Boo nails the plight of the Average Angler to a tee. Inspiring, funny and tinged with sadness, he brings back memories of lost youth and the futility of fishing for salmon on the Cinderella River Ribble. This is no Montana, no Tierra Del Fuego, this is where a salmon caught is a personal Everest. Genius writing, love the soundtrack too. To discover Gilbraith and the Beta Band is a rich seam of of gold.
Simply a great podcast

Fantastic stuff - I too fish and totally get so many of the references in this, the work life balance stuff in particular. It’s really funny as well, even if you don’t fish, you’d have to be a bit of a misery guts not to enjoy it! Superb!
This is random but hilarious even if you don’t like fishing !!

Each episode has genuinely made me laugh out loud. Be warned though, this may cause you to quit your job.
