  • Ep. 9 – Learning “Good Morning Ladies” + Usual Banter
    Mar 30 2026

    We’re back on familiar ground this week after our brief detour—normal service has resumed.

    That means all the usual features, plenty of questionable banter, and a proper dive into a new shanty as we take on “Good Morning Ladies.” .

    If you enjoyed the classic episodes, this one’s very much in that spirit—loose, lively, and full of shanty goodness.

    Grab a drink, join in where you can, and as always… sing along.

  • Ep 8: Fish in the Sea – Guinness Zero, salty sayings & meet the Dog
    Jan 16 2026

    Ahoy and welcome to another episode of Shantycast!

    This week the Dockyard Dogs sing the powerful traditional shanty “Fish in the sea”, exploring its history, teaching the chorus, and finishing with a full-blooded performance.

    We raise a glass of Guinness Zero for this episode’s Ale of the Podcast, proving you can keep the shanty spirit without losing your sea legs. Our salty saying this week is “turn a blind eye” — with its origins firmly tied to Nelson and naval history. Grant gets the story wrong and adds some French ships but we'll all just ignore that historical error won't we?

    We also meet one of the Dogs, Peter.
