The Dragon Chatterpod
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 11 พ.ย. 2024
Think of us as your bench buddies! We’re Cath and Adrian - two passionate paddlers on a journey to become better at our craft. For as long as we’ve known each other, we’ve been talking about dragon boating, bouncing ideas back and forth, and constantly asking questions. While we don’t claim to be experts, we know where to turn when we reach the limits of our combined knowledge and experience. We cherish diversity and are committed to learning from every story we tell. Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or just starting out, our goal is to create a welcoming space where everyone can learn, share, and grow together in the world of paddling.
FESTIVE SPECIAL - Christmas OC Yap and Internet Wisdom
After lots of nagging, A gets to wear his favourite Christmas outfit: a Die Hard T-shirt styled with coral red antlers. C bakes a loaf of bread and promptly breaks it with a new bunch of people armed with spoon-shaped paddles. Good luck to anyone trying to stop her talking about her Boxing Day outing in an OC6! Plus we plumb the depths of the internet for some controversial thoughts on dragon boating.

BONUS EPISODE - East Meets West: Hong Kong and Singapore Nostalgia

IT WOULD BE A SIN NOT TO DRAGON BOAT IN ASIA. A’s Asia trip did not end after Malaysia. He had a dip in the waters of Hong Kong and Singapore, which we decided it’d be a shame not to share it. It was a ‘life or death’ situation when A paddled in Hong Kong with VRC Dragons , and some things that neither A&C had experienced before. A returned to where his paddling journey began in Singapore, and ...

We said we are going to build a dragon boat community without borders, and here we are to deliver. ‘East meets West’ will take you halfway across the globe to check out paddle things on the other side. Are they the same? Are they different? Or are they same same but different? A had his first taste of international racing at the Penang International, where 1,500 paddlers across 61 teams from al...

Welcome to our podcast! In this first episode, we introduce ourselves and share our journey into the world of competitive dragon boating. Some of us might have accidentally become quite good at paddling (on top of the boat banters) and decided to venture into high-level competitive dragon boating. But where do you start? What should you do to get there? We’d like to walk the path with all the p...
How it started
มุมมอง 11หลายเดือนก่อน
It was on a Saturday, at 4am in London (12pm in Hong Kong) when this short exchange happened (part of a long chat about paddling, of course). What followed was a couple of weeks of brainstorming, planning and crafting the small bits that would eventually make the Dragon Chatterpod the way we imagined it.
Wow guys! In my short time as a coach, I’ve never felt so flattered. It’s so grateful that experience paddlers like both of you took so much of the VRC Paddling Technique, and got some takeaways with you. Always welcome to VRC, see you soon in the water 🤙🏼 (Next time please sign the waiver 🤣)
