The Daily Cruise and Travel News "Podcast" with Tom Drake
After almost 30 years of performing stand-up comedy on cruise ships worldwide, Tom Drake has seen everything, done everything, and so now 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!
