Getting better each week
Been listening since the first episode. Learned some things I didn’t know as a 40 Year Dan fan like the lexicon / peg story. The most recent rob mounsey podcast brings some great inside info that me as a Dan fan can’t get enough of. Highly recommended !

Any major dude will tell ya that for longtime Dan fans and newcomers to the Steely Dan universe look no further than the Gaucho Amigos podcast. No static at all here - from studio lore to concert memories to the latest Dan news, Alex’s conversations with the Dan community are highly enlightening and inspiring. What a time to be a Dan fan!
