The History of the "Big Broadcast"
.In March of 2020, the cruise and entertainment industry came to an abrupt stop. A virus from China forced most people into hiding. I decided to fill the downtime by launching an internet radio station named Best at Sea. As part of the programming, I also launched a daily two-hour show to be hosted by me. Two weeks after launch, legendary comedy-magician John Ferrentino joined the show, and it became the Big Broadcast. Within weeks, I was joined by radio personality BJ Odom and Oceania Cruises' "Cruise Director on Loan," Dottie Kulasa and the Big Broadcast became bigger. During the ten months that the show aired, we visited with many guests. Below are the videos of those visits. Enjoy! Tom Drake
