What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

My God! This show is brilliant and quality. Funny and informative, and while it might sound like a pen of wacky fool-beasts, it’s actually four articulate and educated music/culture fans with strong opinions with which they are quite ready to slap one another in the face. Some of the genres are beautiful, others challenging, but each is given a fair shake. And if you’re not intrigued enough yet, they dissect the famous “More Cowbell” bit from Saturday Night Live to reveal the SHOCKING TRUTH. Subscribe, listen, and ENJOY.

Unforgivably recent convert to this podcast, and it has given me my own Camaro Pandemic (reference). The banter, trivia and, above all, jams give me the power to leap ravines on my daily jogs. Thanks yachts! Genuinely unmissable.

Edward C. Weeks · Oct 2021

I didn’t realize these guys coined the term “yacht rock”. My brain loves music classification and categorizing into genres, so this is up my alley. Their humor can get coarse, but I dig their commentary otherwise - I laugh a lot. (PS I feel ya on the Eagles and Buffett 100%.)

I'm in complete denial that BYR is over, but I'm about a year behind, so it won't fully hit me for a while. Still, I had to come here and express my love for this podcast, which is equal parts smooth music and dong jokes, and is, overall, an absolute delight. I live in a big, anxiety-causing city, and listening to JD, Hunter, Steve, and David debate the Yachtski scale or rate top-ten songs by wrestlers or Canadians or Canadian wrestlers always mellows me out and makes me laugh on the subway. What started as a series of funny web videos has become a truly in-depth, labor-of-love podcast that has led me to so much great, smooth music. While the new genre episodes are always entertaining, it's thanks to the Yacht or Nyachts and the bone-throws that I'm now a legit fan of people like Dane Donohue, Bill LaBounty, Ned Doheny, Airplay, and Pages. And I've found a new appreciation for bands and artists I already knew, like Ambrosia, George Benson, and Ray Parker Jr. I find myself reading liner notes and getting excited to see people like Jerry Hey, Paulinho de Costa, and Victor Feldman in the ranks. I also find myself with Ocean City Defender's excellent "Yacht or Nyacht" theme song stuck in my head all the time. This podcast is in me like Peter Frampton, and I love it. Thank you, gentlemen, for your years of dedication to the smooth tunes, for keeping the fire, and for sharing your love of this sublime music with all of us who long to climb aboard the boat.
