The Rowing Podcast

Capsized took eight years to reach a shelf.Charlotte rowed at Community Rowing in Boston and then at Syracuse, moved to LA for television, and stumbled into a coaching job at RowLA that she's held ever since. Capsized started as a 55-page TV pilot she never finished, became a novel after a stranger at a house party told her it should be, and is now back in development as a series at Hulu.We get into how the crooked path actually went: writing a different book first to get through the door, cutting fifty pages on an agent's say-so, and the difference between why you start something and why you keep coming back to it for eight years.She also walks through her five keys to writing a rowing novel — get up early, pace yourself, build your team, know there's no race day, and train off a plan — plus why publishing feels like a void to someone used to watching her split in real time, and a wall-sit story from RowLA that explains the whole sport in about ninety seconds.📖 https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/812893/capsized-by-charlotte-lillie-balogh/

I chat with Bryan Alston, the coxswain behind one of the most watched collegiate rowing videos on YouTube. A walk-on with a stutter, Bryan eventually steered the Dartmouth varsity lightweights to a silver medal finish at the 2011 Eastern Sprints and bronze at the IRAs, as well as numerous gold medal wins for the Marin Masters Men.We discuss a range of topics, including how growing up with a stutter impacted his coxing, why listening to coxes in foreign languages is a shortcut to success, the underappreciated benefits of Masters rowing and much more.Watch/listen to his Sprints recording here: https://youtu.be/LDvx9VCWZeo?si=nJ8-yutHPZb81wVYLearn more about what he’s up to here: https://www.LinkedIn.com/in/bralstonDutch language coxswain tape: https://youtu.be/B2EJ5CVb7pk?si=F_sk8CCVqqz8N-BK
