Bear Mountain Boats Featured on MakerCast

Bear Mountain Boats is proud to tick being on a podcast off our bucket list! MakerCast: The Podcast for Makers recently shared a long-form interview that covered the writing of Canoecraft, the filming of our Canoecraft Companion Video with Nick Offerman, and the personal philosophy that inspires us to pursue the art of canoe building.

Jon Berard, the show's host, is an excellent interviewer, asking in-depth, thoughtful questions. In addition to the history, he also explores the future of the craft and tips for turning a hobby into a small business.

If you're unfamiliar with MakerCast, have a listen to this episode before checking out the back catalogue. Jon has done profiles of Jimmy Diresta, Taylor Forrest, and other makers we know and admire. Click here to listen now.
