The Yacht or Nyacht Podcast

Whatever you think yacht rock is, it probably aren’t. Find out what constitutes the thing you can’t put your finger on when you hear a bounce, some complex rhythms, and foolish feelings.

This review is way overdue! I started listening to podcasts in 2018 and Beyond Yacht Rock was one of the first pods I followed. I was doing a huge installation of plants in my garden during a really hot summer and J.D., Steve, Hunter, and Dave entertained and educated me every day. Thusly, our parasocial relationship began. I love these guys and I listen to and watch all the content they create. I can easily differentiate between Dave and Hunter’s voices — it only took me two years of listening to unlock this achievement. Listening to these guys do deep dives and so throughly explore the yacht genre has lit a fire in me for this music too. I appreciate their broad base of knowledge and their research. I also enjoy that they can be silly, irreverent, funny, sexy, and snarky. Like music, their podcasts are a comforting respite from real life. Keep the fire forever, guys. Love, a fellow jean meat lover from MN.

There are plenty of podcasts with middle-aged white dudes talking about music, but this is SMOOTH music, and these guys are seriously the best. Hilarious, knowledgeable, and—dare I say—vulnerable. I look forward to listening every single week.

I don’t mind long episodes as long as we have hot guys.
