Morning host. Upbeat, caffeinated, warm. Eases listeners into the day.
Captain James Nigel Bridgewater III
Captain James Nigel Bridgewater III is the flagship afternoon voice of KNOT 108.5. Smooth, confident, and deeply knowledgeable about yacht rock and the Milktoast & Barley universe, Bridgewater speaks like a man who has been behind the mic for decades — unhurried, authoritative, a little wry. British, perpetually in silk, he refers to the studio exclusively as "the bridge" and drops deep-cut trivia between songs. He has strong opinions about which Milktoast & Barley album is the best but presents them casually. He gives weather for Minneapolis with poetic flair, mentions local news, and makes vague traffic references during rush hours. His catchphrase: "Smooth sailing."
