SiriusXM’s Bobby Watman: Polly Esther’s, Radio & the Soundtrack of the ’70s

May 28, 2026·1h 17m
Episode Description from the Publisher

Bobby Watman is the creator of the iconic ’70s-themed nightclub chain Polly Esther’s and the voice behind Polyester Fiesta and 70s on 7 on SiriusXM. Long before stepping behind the microphone, Bobby helped turn '70s nostalgia into a national phenomenon, expanding Polly Esther’s into 35 locations across the country. In our conversation, he shares incredible stories from the worlds of nightlife, music, radio, and pop culture — including the unforgettable night KISS walked into Polly Esther’s, memories of David Cassidy, and his lifelong love affair with Los Angeles. Bobby opens up about the music that shaped him, the artists he still loves today — from Elvis Presley to Doja Cat — and why the sound, soul, and spirit of the 1970s still resonate so deeply decades later.
