Oceans Unplugged
This is a podcast about the sea and the people who answer its call.
Hosted by a mariner with over 30 years of experience across search and rescue, yacht racing, coastguard, and maritime enforcement, this show dives deep into the real stories of life at sea.
These are not polished tales or manufactured drama. They’re honest, human conversations with sailors, lifeboat crews, adventurers, and everyday people who’ve lived extraordinary moments on the water.
Stories of resilience, humour, loss, camaraderie, and the quiet truths the ocean teaches, told by someone who understands the weight of it.
Each episode is a slow-burn conversation, less interview, more shared watch.
Alongside these deep dives, you’ll hear personal reflections, listener stories, and glimpses into the bond between people and the vessels they trust with their lives.
Whether you’ve spent your life at sea or never left shore, this is a place to listen, reflect, and connect.
Real stories. Told with heart. The kind you carry with you.
