Join former cruise ship entertainer Sammy Catling on a podcast like no other.
Delving into the best and worst experiences of crew from all walks of life, DeckTales is the best place to listen to true accounts from people during their time spent at sea! 🌊
Sam went on to write the comedic memoir 'Seems Like Smooth Sailing', which was published on the first day of lock-down at the start of the Covid 19 pandemic.
This was a bit of a slap in the face at first, because it was the first time since pre World War 2 that you couldn't book a cruise even if you wanted, and because of the deadly Corona virus, no-one particularly wanted to either. ⚓️
This provided Sam with plenty of food for thought, as it made him wonder how the cruise lines would handle the situation, and how they would look after their guests and crew.
After much back and forth drafting his second book,
Sam decided to put his writing on hold, and that a podcast would be the best way to get some clarity on a lot of what he had read and researched.
So with that, DeckTales was born! 🛳

Fergus and I worked together well over a decade ago for a brief period of time.
He came aboard a ship I was working on as a videographer, and we became fast friends as Fergus is definitely good people.
Instantly likeable, effortlessly cool, in many ways he reminds me of myself which is probably why we got on so well.
Fergus reminded me of the time we and a few others formed a virile boyband, told me how he met the woman who brought him into the world whilst on an excursion, and revealed some of the questionable practices he was taught when disposing of certain photo lab chemicals.
Enjoy!
