Episode 20.1: Origin Stories

Listen Later

Co-hosts John and Tom kick off "Out of the Main" by exploring origin stories. Everyone has their own personal origin story: how you discovered Yacht Rock, where you were, what happened next, and where you are today. But first…

  • What’s Yacht Rock’s origin story? Where did the name come from, and how was the genre defined?
  • What's the history of what was truly happening at the time (1976-1984)?
  • What’s your own personal Yacht Rock story? Tom has his, John has another. What’s yours?
  • What is the origin story for the “Out of the Main” Yacht Rock podcast?
  • What are “The Five Stages of Yacht Rock,” and should there be a sixth?


    • The Lightning Round:

    • Is it Yacht, or Is It Not?
    • Buried Treasures
    • Off the Map: Gimme a song that's not, but belongs on the yacht
