She makes her own handmade swag and opens up in this episode about her favorite swag (Bueller? Bueller?) - and more importantly, how it has led to meeting fellow Boaters. Planning started a year and a half ago - and this year, she is making Bottle Caps, to celebrate Boaty’s 21st Bday.

You may know Pam as the Spelling Bee Champ of TRB XVIII. Perhaps, you have been in her cabin, for one of several cabin shows she has hosted over the years.

“It’s why we love the Rock Boat so much - it extends beyond The Boat. Rock Boaters are the truest fans in the game. We noticed from our touring experiences after The Boat that in every city… there would be multiple Rock Boaters that were down to see you, chat after, they know what you are up to… such a loyal squad…”.

With 22 Rock Boats between them, The Yetters have a lot of TRB memories, but none are more memorable than the time they met and fell in love on TRB X.
Kara Yetter had spent years yearning to get on The Boat (and while she was never on it at the time, mentioned TRB in her high school year book) but nursing school had gotten in the way.
Nathan Yetter joined the boat after his father, a huge Better Than Ezra fan, got off of TRB VII and informed him that he was joining on TRB VIII. After a chance meeting on TRB X, their lives would never be the same.
Listen as The Yetters share their magical story of falling in love on The Boat - and some of their favorite memories, including Alternate Routes going acoustic, Amy Gerhartz transformation, and their upgrade to Room U-69.
This is the first Episode to introduce a Boat-0-Bomb, in which a fellow Boater hops in to suprise the couple…. Listen in to hear this week's special guest.
In this 69th Episode of The BoatCast, Brett Newski, lead singer of Brett Newski and the No Tomorrow, joins Chris Rhoad and BoatCast Mark as the first returning guest to the Podcast.
Brett candidly shares his worries prior to TRB XX, including a fear that he would lose his voice. He connects the likelihood that his unnecessary worrying affected his immune system and it became a self-fulfilling prophecy, resulting in cancelling shows on The Boat. Brett wants you to learn from his own life lessons on the best ways to handle anxiety with this how-to survival guide.
BoatCast Mark, who was recently named to Bethesda Magazine’s Top Doctor’s 2021 list as a Child, Adolescent, and Adult Psychiatrist attests to the quality and utility of this book for anxious teens and adults.
