On today\u2019s episode of Hear Me Out\u2026 choosin\u2019 cruisin\u2019.\xa0\n\nThere seem to be two types of people in this world: those who love going on cruise ships, and those who wouldn\u2019t be caught dead on one. Whichever you are, you probably feel pretty strongly about this.\n\nThe cruise industry has come roaring back from the brink since the lifting of pandemic restrictions, and there\u2019s never been more to do while you\u2019re at sea. So for the slight majority of you who, statistically, aren\u2019t cruise fans, today\u2019s guest poses a question: why not?\xa0\n\nEzra Dyer, senior editor at Car and Driver, joins us to argue that cruises are the kind of tacky fun that you might just like\u2026 in spite of yourself.\n\nIf you have thoughts you want to share, or an idea for a topic we should tackle, you can email the show: hearmeout@slate.com\n\nPodcast production by Maura Currie\n\nYou can skip all the ads in Hear Me Out by joining Slate Plus.
