Anchored Podcast:


I’m often asked how Anchored came to be. The short answer is that it stemmed from a television series I used to host. Limited airtime meant my interviews were cut into soundbites, leaving some truly wonderful history sitting on the editing floor. This week, I thought it might be time to dig into the archives and share some interviews that took place at a time when I’d never even dreamt about starting a podcast.

This episode features Chris Henshaw, a dear family friend and renowned reel-maker from the UK. I met up with him six years ago on the banks of the Kispiox River to learn about his experiences as a young man helping Hardy through some tough times.
