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! 🛳

In my attempts to connect with the broader podcasting network of creatives out there, I signed up to a conference call on meetup.com with a bunch of people all with their own shows.
Among them, was none other than Mr Ant McGinley, a gentlemen who was good enough to come on the show, and share his own ship journey from over the years.
He did just under 3 years with P&O, and a couple stints with Hurtigruten and Voyager.
Ant told me the hilarious story of how he first got himself onboard, what tactics he employed to mentally overcome belligerent and foolish guests, he mentioned an occasion involving a teddy bear stuffed full of drugs and loads more.
He has his own show called Wrestling with the Champ which can be found here Home https://wrestlingwiththechamp.com.
Plus he is half the brains behind Podomedy, the podcast comedy network. Helping funny podcasters save time and money, which can be found here Podcast Comedy Network - Funny Podcasts
Enjoy!
