After almost 30 years of performing stand-up comedy on cruise ships worldwide, Tom Drake has seen everything, done everything, and so now he thinks he knows everything!
That is why he is called the "Guru of the Seas."
His podcast, which delivers all of the day's cruise and travel news, can be heard every Monday through Friday, as Tom says, wherever people "pod their cast."
Offering an "unfiltered view" of the cruise and travel industry, Tom delivers the news and then gives his opinion on what it all means. As Tom says, "It's the day's news with a bit of commentary."
If you are a fan of cruising, or maybe someone who gets frustrated with air travel, or maybe someone who likes to laugh and enjoys a frank, honest opinion, you will enjoy this podcast!
During this weekly podcast, The Guru of the Seas does something rare — he listens more than he talks. Each week, he sits down with fascinating guests who have led extraordinary and instructive careers.
This podcast is a learning experience for both you and the Guru, as he explores what makes each guest’s journey unique. Past conversations have included:
David Shannon, who went from building furniture in Dublin to starring in the West End as The Phantom of the Opera, Chris in Miss Saigon, and Jean Valjean in Les Misérables.
Dottie Kulasa, who reflects on her 38-year career in the cruise industry and how it has evolved over time.
Thomas Danaher, President of Sheets.com, who shared everything a man should know about buying — and maintaining — the perfect sheets.
