After a year of contrasts across holiday parks and marinas, Calum, Lisa and Andrew kick off 2026 by talking honestly about what’s changing and what operators should be paying attention to next.

The conversation explores how marketing is becoming less formal and more personal, why social platforms and influencers are shaping customer expectations, and how technology and AI can support smarter decision-making behind the scenes.

They also discuss practical ways operators can improve efficiency, from smarter upgrade campaigns and better owner and guest communication, to reducing paper-heavy processes and making better use of the tools teams already have.

Rather than predictions or hype, this episode focuses on real experiences, small changes that make a difference, and how parks and marinas can move into 2026 with greater confidence in their marketing, technology and day-to-day operations

In this Christmas special, Santa (Calum), Mrs Claus (Lisa), and Fred the Elf (Andrew’s proudly displayed festive companion) gather for a year-end episode that’s equal parts heartfelt and hilariously unhinged.

From Calum’s failed Santa beard reveal to jokes about ransacked houses, the trio dive straight into festive chaos exactly the way a From Pitch to Pontoon Christmas should be.

Between the laughs, they look back on six months of podcasting: the guests who inspired them, the stories that stuck, the episode that made them cry with laughter (and will likely never see daylight), and the unexpectedly touching moments that made listeners feel part of the family.

There’s also unseen footage with the now-infamous debate over what to call their listeners (Pontooners? Pitches?), reflections on industry conversations, and a glimpse into everyone’s Christmas plans including Calum’s first tree in over a decade.

Warm, candid and beautifully chaotic, this festive episode captures everything that makes the show what it is: real people, real stories, and a lot of genuine laughter.

Grab a mince pie, settle in, and spend Christmas with the From Pitch to Pontoon family.

In this episode of From Pitch to Pontoon, Calum, Lisa and Andrew dive into the emerging technologies that could shape the future of parks and marinas, from Microsoft’s research into holoportation to robotics, AI-powered drones, and advanced environmental sensing.

The team explore which innovations could genuinely support operators, enhance safety and streamline maintenance, and which feel a little too close to sci-fi for comfort (Lisa is still not having robot housekeepers).

Expect thoughtful debate, honest concerns, and plenty of laughs as the trio unpack what’s exciting, what’s unsettling, and what might soon be possible for real-world operators.
