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!","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/21586402/5a7c0acb-fc45-43ca-a413-68faf14028ed_1400.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/21586402/5a7c0acb-fc45-43ca-a413-68faf14028ed_1400_1200x628.jpg?s=94f95afd0d03f0b34215c5bada4db8e6&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://funnypaysoffj.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/funnypaysoffj/feed.xml","theme":"playlist2","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-ygvhw-14961e2?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":15,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-05:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-5,"text":"(GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US & Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/New_York"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":969,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Tom Drake","enableEngagementStats":true,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-ygvhw-14961e2-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-ygvhw-14961e2?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Roboto"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#9417FF"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player2"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

Carnival is being sued by a guest who burned his feet on a hot deck. He's asking for $5 million. 500,000 per toe. Sounds like a reach!

Costa will find you $70 if you leave the dirty plate in the hallway. That's more than they pay the room steward for the day.

Based on current cruise line sales, no one is giving up cruising because of Hantivirus!
