Hosted by Alex Preiss (creator of the popular @baddantakes account), Gaucho Amigos explores how a couple of misanthropic beatniks became the two most unlikely rock stars of the ‘70s. Through 1-on-1 interviews with notable Dan fans from across the pop culture spectrum, Gaucho Amigos ponders the nature of the band’s greatness, exploring the band’s growing cultural cache and trawling the outer reaches of Steely Dan’s sleazy cinematic universe.

Avis
Excellent podcast, tremendously fun
I enjoy this podcast enormously. It’s full of references to a myriad of SD related info. If you love SD or have just an interest on the LA rock scene of the 70’s and its influences, you should check it out.
