Yacht Rock Excursion

Doug, loved this podcast to the end! This is music I’ve listened to most of my life and did not know about Yacht Rock…you were very informative and interesting. I was familiar with most of the music and artist’s you mentioned, but did not know all the connections and tidbits of gossip you provided! Hmmmm…Yacht Rock genre…we learn something new everyday! Thanks for the entertainment today, Doug! I’ll be listening in the future!

Great Podcast

I already love naval aviation, but this podcast makes me feel like I’m 10 again watching the blue angels. Doug is amazing and I could listen to him for hours!

Say Shenanigans one more time

Congratulations to Dougie P for this awesome FIRST episode!

If you have any interest in aviation, video games or Bourbon (and if you think these three things don’t go together you don’t know naval aviation)

I had the privilege of going to college with Doug and not only is he one of the coolest nerds I know, but he’s been a great friend and let me tell you - best trivia team mate ever! He also knows how to add endless hilarity to almost any shenanigan.

It takes so much courage to start a podcast so way to go Dougie P!!
