Welcome fellow travelers and cruisers!

The Podcast: Cruize Cast


Cruize Cast is a weekly podcast, or Internet radio show, and is the fastest-growing cruise podcast in the industry.  Each week we report on recent cruise news with expert analysis and fun opinion. The episode then covers a cruise-related topic such as a specific cruise line, vacation planning tips or port information. We feature top-notch interviews on many episodes with everyday travelers, industry professionals, and even special guests like celebrity chef Jacques Van Staden.  We are the preeminent show on port touring information with our popular "A Day In..." series which provides detailed and invaluable advice for cruise passengers visiting Europe. Our ultimate goal is to provide fellow cruisers with the best information possible, including our uncensored, honest opinions and advice. We hope you enjoy and thank you for listening!


Show Hosts

Kaleigh Lay: After graduating with a double major in communication arts and media communications, Cruize Cast is the perfect creative outlet for Kaleigh.  Her first love-affair with travel began with Walt Disney World at a very young age, but after her first cruise, she was hooked and now believes it the perfect way to see the world.  Passionate about the arts, architecture, theatre, music and literature, Kaleigh brings a unique perspective to the podcast with the appropriate amount of wide-eyed wonder. (She did start out a Disney fan, after all) 
Recently, Kaleigh began a new endeavor as a vacation planner for MEI & Mouse Fan Travel. If you are interested in having Kaleigh book your trip, email her at [email protected]

James Lay: A history buff from the beginning, James graduated with his degree in history, then achieved his certification to teach history, and more recently, his Masters in American History.  Always pragmatic and logical with a touch of cynicism and sarcasm, James brings a slightly more jaded, though often humorous view to the podcast.  When traveling, history is key, and his extensive knowledge of the subject including politics and economics always means that the couple walks away from each destination with a greater understanding of the world around them.

Jason Leppert: As a creative at heart, Jason received his bachelor's degree in visual arts with emphases on graphic design, photography and video. He has been cruising since before he was even two years old and has completed a total of 50 cruises and counting. Jason currently publishes his own website – PopularCruising.com. Previously, he was a regular contributing editor at CruiseMates. He has also been featured in the San Diego Union-Tribune newspaper and quoted by Viking River Cruises. His passion for cruising continues with a nuts-and-bolts appreciation for the engineering and construction of cruise ships as well as the cultural and architectural intrigue of international destinations. And of course, he too is quite the Disney fanboy!
