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! 🛳

A little something different today, as my guest Peter Knego is the first person on DeckTales who has NOT worked on ships.
His enthusiasm for them however, has basically meant he's spent more time on ships over the years than some of my previous guests.
Peter fell in love with the old ocean liners when he was young, and his obsession for them only grew over time.
He was blogging about them before the word was invented, then he progressed into vlogging, where he started a YouTube channel which can be found at Peter Knego's MidShipCinema - YouTube, and a website for people who love old ships as much as he does, where the fixings and furnishings he salvaged from Indian scrapyards are up for sale.
