Guest: Craig SetzerWhen most people think of meteorology, they think of forecasts on television, hurricane updates, or severe weather warnings. But some meteorologists work in places most of us rarely consider—guiding ships across vast oceans, helping industries make critical weather decisions, and even reconstructing past weather events to answer important questions long after the skies have cleared. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by maritime meteorologist Craig Setzer. Throughout his career, Craig has helped bridge the worlds of weather, ocean navigation, and risk management, providing forecasts and expertise for operations that depend on understanding conditions far from land. We'll explore the unique challenges of forecasting weather at sea, how the cruise industry uses meteorological information to keep passengers and crews safe, and the fascinating field of forensic meteorology—where weather data, observations, and science are used to piece together what happened during past events.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Maritime Meteorology05:31 Differences Between Maritime and TV Forecasting08:32 Cruise Industry and Weather Disruptions10:27 Operational Decisions During Hurricanes12:38 Pressure and Responsibilities of a Maritime Meteorologist15:16 Legal Considerations in Maritime Operations16:42 Other Weather Hazards in Maritime Forecasting18:55 The Impact of Meteorology on Cruise Experiences20:51 The Value of Weather in Maritime Safety21:16 Break 121:17 Introduction to Forensic Meteorology22:05 Craig Setzer's Background and Expertise23:36 Understanding Forensic Meteorology25:09 The Role of Captains and Meteorologists26:40 Clients and Cases in Forensic Meteorology28:22 Challenges in Weather Data Analysis30:28 The Importance of Buoy Data32:12 Historical Data from Ships33:38 Break 233:38 Hurricane Forecasting and the Cone39:01 Communication in Meteorology40:21 Advice for Future Meteorologists ResourcesRoyal Caribbean Group - https://www.royalcaribbean.com/NOAA Buoy Data Center - https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Metropolitan State University of Denver - https://www.msudenver.edu/University of Oklahoma - https://www.ou.edu/ Guest linksLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/craig-setzer-ccm-03095422aTwitter - https://twitter.com/craigsetzerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
With the fire aboard Prinsendam now burning out of control, the captain gives the order to abandon ship. Passengers, some dressed only in pajamas and nightgowns, scramble into wooden lifeboats, which are lowered into the dark and frigid waters of the Gulf of Alaska. Meanwhile, rescue vessels – both military and private – rush to the scene. But with over 500 passengers and crew in need of saving, and a typhoon closing in, they're in a race against time.

As crew members aboard Prinsendam work to contain the fire, passengers shiver on the decks in the cold night air. The mood is mostly festive; everyone expects that the fire will be extinguished soon. But when the blaze spreads to the dining room, the ship's captain realizes he has no choice. He issues an SOS. If help doesn't come soon, they'll have to abandon ship — with a typhoon headed straight toward them.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Against the Odds ad-free right now.

Auckland Council's Tataki Auckland Unlimited has released a ten-year plan to improve cruise ship infrastructure and bring more ships to the city. Ingrid Hipkiss spoke to Karen Thompson Smith, Tataki Auckland Unlimited Head of Tourism and Cruise Industry Association board member, about the plan.
Auckland wants to put its best foot forward as a cruise destination. Auckland Unlimited and the city's port have unveiled a 10 year plan focused on strengthening areas like visitor experience, infrastructure, and the environment. This comes after the country lost around 250 port calls last season compared to the previous season, and is set to lose about 20 this summer. Auckland Unlimited Destination Director Annie Dundas told Mike Hosking cruise lines have so much choice in where they can travel, and we have to be competitive, or we'll miss out on a billion-dollar industry.

In October of 1980, the luxury cruise ship Prinsendam set sail from Vancouver with more than 300 passengers aboard, many of whom were elderly. But just after midnight on the cruise's fourth day, in the Gulf of Alaska, a fire broke out in the ship's engine room. The crew battled to contain the blaze, but with limited firefighting equipment, it was unclear if they could prevent the fire from spreading, and threatening the entire ship.

Is the grass really greener in yachting, or does commercial shipping offer the balance maritime professionals are actually looking for?In this episode of The Crew Car, Captain James Battey is joined by his former First Officer and good friend, Chief Officer Ashley Ogborne, for an honest and frequently hilarious comparison of life aboard yachts and commercial ships.Ashley shares how philanthropy work in Greece led him towards a Merchant Navy cadetship sponsored by Carnival UK, followed by five years aboard cruise ships. Looking for greater experience, better money and a different way of life, he resigned and moved into yachting in January 2020, just as COVID began shutting the world down.Already a qualified officer, Ashley mistakenly believed he needed to dock walk for work, creating a memorable introduction to an industry whose language, hierarchy and expectations were very different from the commercial world he knew.After five and a half years in yachting, Ashley has now returned to commercial shipping and is working aboard ferries in New Zealand. He and James compare the realities of both sectors, including money, rotation, career progression, crew culture and the challenge of building a family life around long periods at sea.They also discuss the close family atmosphere often found aboard smaller yachts, the compromises that can accompany rotational positions, and the constant temptation to compare your job with somebody else's supposedly perfect “unicorn gig.”Ashley explains why he moved to New Zealand, how a chance bridge tour helped open the door to his current position, and why gaining residency is central to his plans to buy land and eventually establish a wellness retreat.But has he left yachting permanently?Not necessarily.⚓ In this episode:• Ashley Ogborne's route from Greece into the Merchant Navy• His Carnival UK cadetship and five years aboard cruise ships• Moving into yachting at the beginning of COVID• Dock walking as an already qualified officer• The difference between a commercial “deckie” and a yacht deckhand• Money, lifestyle and opportunity within yachting• Why smaller yachts can create a genuine family atmosphere• Rotation, relationships and maintaining a life ashore• The endless search for the “unicorn gig”• Why the grass is not always greener on somebody else's vessel• Returning to commercial shipping in New Zealand• Creating opportunities through contacts, timing and persistence• Ashley's plans for residency, land and a wellness retreat• Why he may still return to yachting

Before she was running a real estate private equity firm, Dani Lynn Robison was performing on cruise ship stages — no finance background, no built-in network, no obvious path to where she is today. In this episode, she shares how she made that leap anyway, and why she believes your starting point has almost nothing to do with what you're capable of building. Dani Lynn is the Co-Founder and CEO of Freedom Family Investments, the umbrella brand for Freedom Family Capital — a real estate private equity firm focused on recession-resilient, needs-based real estate like multifamily housing, senior housing, self storage, and build-to-rent. The strategy is designed to mitigate risk while compounding long-term, passive wealth, but the bigger conversation here is about permission: the permission to chase a life that doesn't look like the one you were handed. We get into: Her jump from the cruise ship stage into the financial world, and what that taught her about betting on herself Why "needs-based" real estate holds up when the rest of the market doesn't How Freedom Family structures value-add deals to protect capital while increasing upside Her honest take on building a life and a portfolio you're actually proud of, regardless of where you started Whether you're a W-2 professional eyeing your first deal or just need a reminder that your background isn't your ceiling, this one's worth the listen.

Sometimes the internet gives us a story so unbelievably disgusting that it hijacks an entire morning. This episode begins with one of those moments after a viral video shows a cruise passenger scraping fungus off her foot with a buffet fork... while other people are trying to eat. Naturally, the crew debates hygiene, cruise ships, humanity, and whether Earth deserves another season.From there the chaos keeps rolling.The gang talks about Missouri becoming the filming home for the upcoming Smoking the Bandit prequel series and wonders which cast member has the best chance of sneaking into the production. Then it's time for celebrity gossip, Comic-Con announcements, Green Day surprises, Ryan Gosling officially becoming Ghost Rider, Rick Moranis making his long-awaited return to Spaceballs, and Ryan Reynolds finding new ways to troll absolutely everyone.David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar somehow become the center of another classic rock debate, complete with cocktail analysis, tour cancellations, residency talk, and the eternal question: is extending an olive branch still an olive branch if you're holding a martini?The crew also breaks down Tom Holland's unforgettable Hot Ones appearance, Usher's awkward on-stage rejection, Chris Brown controversy, movie leaks, Marvel news, and enough pop culture commentary to keep your group chat busy all week.Of course, no episode would be complete without Crap on Celebrities, birthday nonsense, ridiculous observations, sarcastic debates, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that somehow make perfect sense before 10 AM.If you love comedy podcasts, weird news, celebrity gossip, St. Louis humor, hilarious fails, entertainment commentary, and friends arguing about things nobody else would spend thirty minutes discussing, you've found your people.Grab your coffee.Maybe skip breakfast during the fungus conversation.And definitely leave the buffet forks where they belong.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A cruise ship presents investigative challenges that land-based crime scenes do not. The vessel continues operating. The timeline for evidence recovery is compressed. The population aboard numbers in the thousands. And jurisdiction — in this case international waters — places the matter in federal court, under FBI authority, with procedural rules that rarely account for defendants as young as Timothy Hudson. This look back, with retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer, examines the forensic and investigative realities of the Anna Kepner case.The evidence investigators recovered from the Carnival Horizon is documented in unsealed court records: security camera footage tracking Hudson's movements during the relevant window, a cellular device that was reportedly found destroyed in a waste receptacle, and DNA testing results that the prosecution contends are directionally clear. The medical examiner ruled Anna's death a homicide by mechanical asphyxiation. Her body was found concealed beneath a bed in the stateroom she shared with Hudson.Coffindaffer assesses the evidentiary picture from a federal investigative perspective — what the surveillance establishes, what the destruction of the phone signals, and what the DNA evidence contributes. She also addresses the detention outcome: the court acknowledged that an adult facing identical charges would almost certainly be held, but permitted Hudson's continued release on GPS monitoring with a relative — in a residence that reportedly includes two other minors, despite conditions prohibiting unsupervised contact with anyone underage. Hudson faces first-degree murder and an additional serious federal charge. He has pleaded not guilty. We revisit where the matter stood at the time of our reporting.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Buckle up, this one's a full ride.We finally get to open that listener letter — you know, the one from the guy we roasted a little (okay, a lot) last episode. Spoiler: he didn't just take it, he clapped back. Respect where it's due — the man showed up and brought receipts. We're reading it live, unedited, and reacting in real time.Meanwhile, Scott rolled back into town from a Dominican Republic cruise looking suspiciously tan and suspiciously smug, and Anthony survived his very first-ever cruise — to Ensenada, of all places — and lived to tell the tale (barely). Naturally, the two travel stories collide into a full-blown comparison of who had the better trip, who packed the better cigars, and who made the more questionable life choices at sea.As always, expect zero filter, a whole lot of bull, and the kind of banter that only three guys who've smoked way too many cigars together can produce. Grab something worth 30 years of aging, pour something strong, and settle in.Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/LoomisCigarCartelInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/loomiscigarcartel/OREmail Us at info@loomiscigarcartel.com
As Carnival cements its success by going public, founder Ted Arison and his son and CEO Micky set their sights on growing the company through acquisition. They make long-time rival Royal Caribbean their target. But with a new ambitious executive at the helm, Royal Caribbean isn't going down without a fight. Norwegian Cruise Line struggles to keep up with the competition.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
As the cruise industry enters the 21st century, Carnival and Royal Caribbean square off again as they battle to acquire British company Princess Cruises. Whoever wins Princess will be virtually uncatchable as the largest cruise company in the world. But when the Covid-19 pandemic breaks out, the cruise industry struggles to keep passengers safe, and the entire existence of the industry is in jeopardy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
After his bitter exit from Norwegian Cruise Line, Ted Arison has limited time to make his new company Carnival a success. With little funds and one run-down ship, the odds are stacked against him. Meanwhile, Norwegian Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean compete to be the most luxurious cruise ship company on the market. And all three get an unexpected boost from Hollywood.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In 1950, an enterprising Miami businessman has the idea to use a passenger liner to ferry retired Floridians to the Caribbean. He makes their time on board the ship as much a part of the appeal as the destination. Modern cruising is born, but it's still just a small niche activity.But in the 1960s, a group of ambitious men in both the United States and Europe sees huge potential in this form of vacation travel. Within six years Norwegian Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival are all founded. They spend the next 60 years battling to be the biggest and best cruise line in the world.

The question at the center of the Anna Kepner case has shifted from the accused to the adults who allegedly put her in harm's way. Timothy Hudson's own step-grandmother publicly stated on CBS that the parents should be held accountable and described the family cruise as “a recipe for disaster.” Anna's ex-boyfriend has stated she was afraid of her stepbrother and took steps to avoid being alone with him. Three teenagers who had not been raised together were assigned to a single cabin aboard the Carnival Horizon.The Crumbley precedent — in which both parents of the Oxford High School shooter were convicted of involuntary manslaughter for ignoring documented warning signs — has dominated public discussion. But the jurisdictional framework differs fundamentally. The Carnival Horizon is a Panamanian-flagged vessel. The alleged crime occurred in international waters, outside any state's jurisdiction. No federal contributing-to-the-delinquency-of-a-minor statute applies in this context. If no applicable law exists, the comparison to the Crumbley prosecution lacks a statutory foundation.Separately, Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres reversed his own pretrial release decision on June 10 after receiving sealed evidence filed two days earlier. His detention order states that Hudson's alleged conduct suggests “a level of psychopathy and lack of remorse” and that he could “snap at any time.” Hudson surrendered to U.S. Marshals and is being held at Citrus County Jail pending transfer to Miami-Dade's Metro West Detention Center. Trial remains set for September.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke examine the jurisdictional obstacles, the legal shift from juvenile to adult detention rules, and what the sealed evidence likely contains.Timothy Hudson, sixteen, is charged as an adult with first-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty and is entitled to the presumption of innocence.A look back at the most compelling stories of the week.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr has refused to allow Florida resident Angela Perryman to leave the quarantine facility in Nebraska, because Florida has refused to comply with federal regulations on how to monitor her. Many people believe this standoff may be more about politics than public health, and 47-year-old Perryman is caught in the cross hairs. Perryman describes the quarantine like a prison, saying she doesn’t want to be dehumanized anymore and is appalled that RFK Jr “would override the doctor and violate the law just to keep me locked up.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
