Nighttime on Still Waters

Just what I need to help me relax. I am so appreciative of this podcast’s format. It’s unlike anything I’ve heard before. Thank you.

A friend introduced me to this beautiful podcast just when I needed it most, after the sudden death of my brother. The podcast host extends such kindness and hospitality across distance and difference. Hus observations, poems and stories affirm the cycles of life, death, and rebirth that are present in every season. I am comforted by the feelings of kinship with the little community, and it’s creatures - families of swans and ducks, the herons and others of the canal. I am grateful to Goode for putting this life into words and story, and offering connection and meaning.

A wonderfully done podcast. Richard Goode enthralls us with tales from along the cut that brings a smile, gentle laughter, and perhaps a tear or two. His style of presentation and the podcast itself bring forth a hint of nostalgia in his telling of these stories while also being informative about life on the English canals.

This is such a warm, cheering podcast in these dark, depressing times. Richard has a smooth, soothing voice, and he uses it to share vignettes of life on his narrowboat and of the natural world around him, as well as lovely stories and poetry.
