JD worked on a ship with me during my first contract back in 2006, but his decade long career is a 50/50 split, between working in photography/videography and shore excursions. In this episode you will learn how to lower your expectations when venturing out on a land booked trip, how to sleep through an onboard fire, and what happens after you hit an iceberg.You may also learn a thing or two about the positives covid had on the industry, as well as 'where da food at'.JD had his guard up during this episode, so it took a fair bit of inquisitive probing to get any decent stories out of him.In fairness to JD, he knows all to well the dangers of antagonizing the industry, and I'll give him some tiny degree of credit, because last year we went for beers before I began working on DeckTales, and he wouldn't shut up about ship life! So he could be considered an ember that sparked my creative ambitions.Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
