Ep7: Andrew Gove - Former Greatest Photographer on the 7 Seas

Explicit content warning

05/29/24 • 78 min

Former ship photographer Andrew was one of (if not) my best friends on the Thompson Destiny back in 2006.

We've stayed in touch now and again, but this was the first time we re-lived the past in all it's glory, and I even learnt the true nature behind his abrupt dismissal all those years ago.

Andrew can talk for South Africa, so I had to cut him down from 17 hours to just under an hour 20 minutes, making his the longest episode so far.

A lot of laughs in this one.

Enjoy!

Ep6: Archie Quevedo - From Laundry Department to Reception Desk

Originally from the Philippines and now living in South Africa with his family, Archie worked with me on two of my contracts back in the mid to late noughties.

He was the face of the ship in many ways as not only did he work on the reception desk, but he always carried a smile with him everywhere he went, making him one of the most popular crew members onboard the now deceased, Thompson Destiny.

Archie and I had lot's to catch up on, had a really lovely chat, and his career trajectory is one I wasn't even fully aware of.

Ep8: Rachel Dudt - Cruise Ship Singer/Guest Act Performer

With over a decades worth of ship experience, singer Rachel Dudt has seen more than her fair share of things over the years.

She filled me in on everything she'd been up to since we 'worked' together in 2010, and some of them things I never knew she'd been through, so I'm extremely grateful to her for being so open and honest.

Her insights were a stark reminder to me as to why I'm even doing this podcast in the first place.

To offer people a safe space where they feel comfortable enough to share their personal triumphs and tribulations with everyone.

She even backed me up as to the ridiculous reason I got fired...
