Dirty Water is a one-hour hit of fruitless discourse where opinion reigns and facts are optional — hosted by best-selling authors Chas Smith and Derek Rielly. With sharp wit, unfiltered takes, and zero concern for staying on topic, it’s a freewheeling ride through surf culture, media, and whatever else they feel like debating.
The mics may be off for now, but the full archive is pure chaos in the best way. Binge now for the kind of podcast that’s as unpredictable as it is addictive.
