About this episode
EP 11: Something a bit different this week, as there was a bit of confusion leading up to this interview, over just how long Shirley actually worked at sea.Basically, I was working with her daughter for a few months and happened to mention what my podcast was about, and she said "Oh my mum used to work on cruise ships when I was a little girl!"Without hesitation I set up a time for us to chat, and on the call was immediately given a heads up.Shirley's daughter being so young when she worked on ships, thought that she'd been away at sea for much longer than she actually was.Rather than waste an opportunity though, Shirley and I spoke about things besides ship life for a nice change, including her early experiences of WW2, working in TV and Film, and retirement.Her short stint on ships was about 40 years ago in the late 70's early 80's, so I pounced on the chance to hear some stories from a time before I was even born.Enjoy!#BTS #ShipStories #shiplife #cruiseship #podcast #decktales #english #cabaret #singer #belowdeck #shortstint #greenscreen #grandiose #productionvalue #shortinterviewGet Your Copy Of 'Seems Like Smooth Sailing'
