This week, much to Christopher’s chagrin, we do a deep dive into Yacht Rock! We’ll hear from Toto, Steely Dan, Doobie Bros, Christopher Cross, Kenny Loggins, Boz Scaggs, Seals & Crofts, Little River Band, Orleans and… Earth, Wind & Fire? (That last one leads to a spirited disagreement between Tom & Christopher)

Among the highlights of this episode:

- Michael McDonald explains the evolution of the Doobie Brothers’ sound

- Christopher Cross talks about his debut album, which contained several Yacht Rock classics.

- Steve Porcaro explains how a group of session players and friends morphed into Toto

- Kenny Loggins remembers working with Stevie Nicks on “Whenever I Call You Friend”

- Al Stewart deconstructs the story behind his biggest hit, “Year Of The Cat”

- Boz Scaggs breaks down “Lido Shuffle” and “Lowdown”

- We also hear from the most reluctant group in the Yacht Rock pantheon, Steely Dan, including a bonus cut from the Dan’s only foray into advertising jingles. (We assure you it’s a weird one!)

- Plus, interview clips from Little River Band, Orleans, Marc Jordan, Seals & Crofts and more. It’s an episode chock full of artists who are Yachty by nature!

Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.
