CAVASShips Weekly Podcast

Welcome to the CavasShips Podcast with Christopher P. Cavas and Chris Servello…a weekly podcast looking at naval and maritime events and issues of the day – in the US, across the seas and around the world. This week…It’s that time of year when Army-Navy football gets a lot of people excited, and in recent years it’s also become the time for some very creative spirit-spot videos. But one video producer has really stood out, producing classics like the Naptown Funk Navy parody and now a new production called Big Decks. It’s one thing to gin up school spirit, but quite another to shine a positive light on an entire service. Producer-writer Rylan Tuohy will be here to dish on the backstory behind his videos and what he thinks about Navy recruiting efforts at large.
