About The Gather

In rowing, the term gather refers to a technique where the rowers pause slightly at the finish of the stroke. This micropause, as the boat is at its fastest point, allows for a brief, almost imperceptible moment where rowers sync up their strokes, gathering their bodies perfectly together as the boat moves underneath them and they prepare to move forward as one towards their next catch. Merriam-Webster defines “gather” as “to bring together.” For us, The Gather takes both concepts and combines them into one: a place where we gather as friends that, through rowing, have become family, where we can talk about the passion that brought us all together. Rowing has a way of doing that–gathering people into its fold from all walks of life. Kids putting their hands on an oar for the first time, octogenarians looking for a way to stay gently active, competitors who push through weather, pain and defeat for that one chance at perfection, rowers who just love that feel of the boat gliding across the water and the sound of the oars clicking as one, the parents and spectators who fall in love with the sport from the banks of the river watching the beauty and grace of the rowers flying over the water while the birds race them from above, coaches who see the things the rest of us don’t and inspire new generations of rowers to see beyond what was and to become something better…. and so much more. Rowing has a way of gathering people into its fold and holding us there - no matter where we are in life. This is a podcast for all of you! For those who hold a love for the sport like we do; for those who are searching for it, and for all of you in between! Welcome to The Gather - an independent podcast about rowing and life. Episodes will be shared bi-weekly.

Episode 15: Regattas

Ever found yourself squinting at the water wondering, “Wait… is that my rower or just another boat in matching spandex?” Welcome to regatta morning—where mist hangs low, adrenaline runs high, and absolutely no one is 100% sure which lane is which (but we’re all pretending we do). In this episode of The Gather, we decode the chaos, share a few hard-earned spectator survival tips, and help you trade confusion for that unmistakable, magical buzz of race day.

Episode 14: Special Guest We Can Row DC

What if the hardest thing you’ve ever faced could also be the thing that helps you heal? Soundgarden puts it simply—Rowing is living and living is hard but living beats losing all that we are. In this episode of The Gather, we sit down with the incredible women behind WeCanRow DC to explore how the sport is creating connection, strength, and a powerful path forward for women navigating breast cancer.

Episode 13: The Connection

Connection in rowing is one of those things everyone talks about… and almost no one can neatly define. In this episode of The Gather Podcast, we break down how your body becomes the literal power line from footplate to blade—and what happens when that circuit gets a little… sparky. As it turns out, mastering connection in the boat might just teach you how to stay grounded in life, too.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
