    The Narrowboat Podcast Trailer

    Message me on Instagram @narrowboat_lilly_mae Hey guys I've been working really hard to launch my new project the Narrowboat podcast. The podcast will be a series of conversations between me and other individuals or companies who have taken to the water. Every person who has bought, or even rented a boat has a story and I want to hear them! However mundane they may be. So If you live on a boat, or are looking to buy a boat, maybe you photograph boats or work on boats, maybe you fell off one, or you used to date someone who lived on one and you have a pretty horrific toilet story.Well I wanna hear it. This podcast is for you but it could also be about you so send me a message if you're interested in getting involved. As long as you have a laptop with a built in mic and an internet connection we can make this happen. So send me a message on Instagram @narrowboat_lilly_mae
