Thread: Cruise Podcast

Hi there! My husband and I host a podcast about cruising with an emphasis on ports and how to tour them on your own. We love feedback, and hope you will listen. You can find us on iTunes, stitcher radio or on our webiste at www.cruizecast.com Thanks!

Welcome to our friendly cruise community!

You have an interesting web site...and thank you for including cruiselinefans on your Links page.

Thanks for the link I will listen in.
How do you choose topics for your podcasts ?

I tried listening but got no sound. Anyone else have success ? I iwll try it from home maybe via Itunes.

No joy here either! It never loads.

Wow, I am so sorry it isn't working for you. You could try the link on the homepage of our website or iTunes or stitcher radio. Not sure what the problem is, it loads for me. It comes up in a separate window, so if you have popups disabled, that could be the cause. (For me, it opens a small windows media window) The link on our homepage doesn't open a new window, it just plays directly on that page, so that might be the easiest solution. Anyway, thanks for attempting to listen.

As to how we choose topics, it depends some on guests and who is available. For example, I kind of threw out there "maybe you'd like to be on sometime" to Windstar, and they agreed, so we set that up immediately. Jennifer from Care Vacations has become a friend on twitter, so we brainstormed on what to talk about if she came on. We are very interested in European cruising, specifically port touring, so there tends to be a lean in that direction, but we also try to include a nice mix of general cruising stuff (like our cruising 101 episode and our cruise quiz) We also LOVE to include reviews as that is really interesting to us. We never want the podcast to become all interviews, though, so we try to keep producing episodes with just us talking about a particular subject. If you have any show ideas, we would love to hear them! (I know, way too long answer for a short question )

That is a nice long full of information answer to my question , thanks.
I also get the small separate window for the podcast and it appears to play because the timer is counting but I get no sound. I am at work so I will try it from home later.

Works on the homepage...thanks!
