Jimmy Buffett is one of the most important figures in pop culture history - that's a fact and Ryan Middledorf and Patrick McDonald are determined to prove it to you. Join them each and every week for a one-stop-shop featuring all things Buffett, from his hit songs, to his books, to his wildly successful chain of restaurants - no stone will be left unturned in this nautically nonsensical podcast. Grab a margarita, pull out that Adirondack chair and prepare to be whisked away to Margaritaville, because wouldn't you know it...it's five o' clock.

    Dear Friends and Finterns, Pals and Parrothead Podcast-heads! Ryan and Patrick here to share the news that we're officially turning the page on our podcast journey and starting a new show within the Margaritaville family. It's called "License to Chill: The Margaritaville Podcast" and it's available now. This news also means that we'll be sunsetting the Parrothead Podcast - this show has meant the world to us and we're thrilled that we got to spend the last eight years diving into every-single Jimmy Buffett-related thing we could and trying to make each-other laugh every single week. It's been a labor of love and we're grateful that everyone listening now was a part of it. To all of those that stuck by us through the years - thank you! To all of those that we forgot in our acknowledgements - apologies, there are just too many "almost emails" to count. Fins Up!
