Hey can you make a Eminem and nirvana and rage against the machine episodes I love this podcast.please

Jake is so talented and his story telling skills are off the charts. Not many people can tell stories the way Jake does. To put the icing on the cake, these are stories about legends. Just because he tells a story about a legend you don't like you're gonna hate? lOL. As Jake reminds us, hard genre lines are for the 80's (thanks for that lil tidbit Jake). Jake has his own unhinged appreciation for all kinds of unhinged genius and for that I appreciate him. Listen for good storytelling while also learning something new-maybe add new legends to your own roster of wild genius to admire.

What happened to this podcast? Who cares about Kobe or this dumb assassin story? Where’s the real stories about the music?

Every show double Elvis does it absolutely fabulous, those sleepless nights a bit easier and I love the sound effects

I normally don’t do reviews but I could t help it this time!!! DISGRACELAND IS THE BEST PODCAST OF ITS KIND!!! Hands down period. Just give a quick episode a try and you won’t be disappointed!!!

OMG the whole thing was so plausible I was wowing holding my breath a few times. I played John Denver songs when I was a child, our school choir one of his songs on local television !! Haha After halfway through, I thought this is definitely a conspiracy theory No way. You fooled me all the way to the end. 😂

Unlistenable melodramatic schlock, that maybe holds an ounce of truth.

Hey are you bringing back “Armored”

The content of this podcast is awesome… if you can hear it. For some bizarre reason, the host whispers much of the show.

It’s a well produced pod. And the guy is really talented. But the podcast is basically a summary of the Wikipedia page. Kind of annoying, but I keep listening regardless. Anyway check out Cocaine and Rhinestones if this is too basic for you.

Truly one of the best podcasts! You want compelling stories, journalistic research, fantastically narrated? Look no further! You stay here and listen. Go back and listen to every single one, but my financial situation isn’t built like that right now. We all do what we got to do. I figured ads would support the show, but that’s how life flows. Was really looking forward to so many more episodes.

I found you from your Anthony Bourdain episode. I loved him, looked up to him. and thought of him, who he was, and how he lived almost as a superhero for those that shared and lived in an “all in” way- as I too share(d) some of his worst habits. When he died, there was a specific type of hope that also died in me, and I’m sure in many of his beloved, long-term fans, friends, and family; it was the hope that he (and therefore someone like him) could overcome such a judged past, not by shunning it, but by embracing the good and bad and honesty in it- publicly. To many people, Tony’s past may appear to be marred, but regardless, he did not let it build boundaries to limit how successful he and Lis life could become. Tony seemed to play the antihero, who did not ask for the position, and yet still rose to the occasion. My heart remains broken for his daughter and Ottavia, my heart remains broken for the Anthony Bourdain that he himself (and all of us lost), long before his physical death- as you were correct in pointing out. I don’t know how to make sense of the end period of his life, I cannot turn it into a lesson or fable; but I do see it as a warning: that life has an immeasurable amount of choices, and that ultimately it takes all kinds of people to keep time unfolding. Bourdain remained true to himself, until he no longer could- and sadly I don’t think anyone knows why it came to that. I don’t know if he could ever realize the amount of people he touched, and his humility reminded us all that he was in fact, always just a human. The quotes

I listened to a few and initially was not that into it. I give it another try and now I’m hooked. Jake does lots of research and is a compelling narrator Rick

Agree with other reviewers that this is the BEST… hugely entertaining. I’ve been binging this podcast and Badlands ever since I came across Jake Brennan on another podcast. The writing and delivery are so good! Keep up the great work Mr. Brennan!!

Great Pod. Of the greatest story tellers I’ve ever heard. Jake can keep you interested episode after episode. And the Mellotron Cheese is a good touch too.

One of the BEST story tellers EVER👌🏽

Jake definitely rocks

My favorite podcast consists of intriguing stories an entertaining host, and under 60 minutes. Love it! Rockarolla 🤘

This is a great podcast with a host who is a great story teller, I can’t wait til each new show drops. I recommend this podcast highly if you are a first time listener.

Just heard about your show on “Redhanded” so decided to check it out. Obsessed! Thank you for great storytelling.

This is my first time writing a review. I’ve listened to crime podcast for years. I have found some ti be really good. However, your podcast excites me. When we finish one we can’t wait to hear the next. The way you tell the story is amazing. The way you narrate is on point. Keep up the good work.

This podcast is an easy listen and it’s nice hearing media focused on humanizing pop stars. Eye opening and entertaining

EXCELLENT CONTENT TOO MANY ADS PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GET A PATREON!! For this, badlands, and all double elvis as a fellow boston hardcore (gal not guy-era of the rat) pleeeeeeeeese , this would make listening at work sooonmuch easier, instead of having to interrupt my factory work and having to stop to fast forward every 10-20 minutes and looking like im on my phone at my job when I’m not

👍

Heard an ad for this podcast, and started binging it right away. Good storytelling, nice voice, loving the personal opinions added as well, just enough, keeps the story going. I just finished the Norwegian death metal one, OOF, that one was mind blowing. Can’t wait to hear the rest. Loving it!

Super engaging, music is great and it’ll take you right into the time period the person lived in. Jake is a great storyteller who is engaging in his narration and I always find myself wanting to know more about the stories he tells which keeps me engaged even further.

Should never be as loud as or louder than the speaker’s.

The stories themselves are incredible (most of which I’d never heard of), but Jake’s storytelling is very engaging and intriguing. An excellent listen, highly recommended!

Listening to this show is like having that white friend whose dad is in the music business and he has all these amazing stories to tell. So everyday after school you do homework at his house just to hear more of these stories 😂😂

What happened to this show? It started out good and turned more about hip hop music.

Can this guy shut up about Morgan Wallen for five minutes? He’s no Taylor Swift and never will be. He’s a hack.

Anymore I enjoy podcasts as much, if not more, than streaming TV (though currently, The Righteous Gemstones is so good I'm actually watching it week by week). One of my favorite podcasts is Disgraceland. As a long-time music nerd, I appreciate the research that goes into each episode. Jake B. is a most excellent host/narrator, and the (well-produced) dramatic hue of the show keeps me riveted all the way to the end.

Just started listening. I love these stories but wish the narrator would stop interjecting his personal opinions on music as fact. A lot of the comments site him as annoying but don’t give specific feedback so that he can adjust his narrative. You may not personally like an artist but that doesn’t make them “trash” or “cheesy” If you got past your own ego and cleaned up your narrative to exclude how you personally feel about certain artists, or at least stop presenting them as factual statements, I would give you a higher rating. I can tell that a lot of hard work and passion go into this podcast.🤷‍♀️

Maybe I’m just more aware of it now from recent Badlands bloops, but again the host’s research has gotten so sloppy. In the little Kim episode he refers to Foxy Brown’s album as “Lil NaNa” - it’s Ill Nana. Google is free or perhaps stop covering people and things you don’t know or care enough to put respect on their names and work.

The host’s style of narration can be pretty annoying but still an entertaining show

I’m not really a huge music fan exactly. I mostly listen to talk radio and podcasts. This is an excellent show regardless of whether you’re a fan of the topic person or not. It’s very well done and every episode is riveting. Don’t miss it.

Jake tells the stories in a truly entertaining podcast ,great sound and music always learn something new ,always look forward to the next podcast keep up the great podcasts. John Yonkers New York

Do you want more

I look forward to the new episodes and love re listening the old ones. Thank you for telling me more of my favorites!!!!

This still continues to be one of the most well-researched and interesting podcasts out there. Keep it up, Jake! You rock!

Loved this Podcast so much! Everything about it .

my new favorite episode! your writing, info and delivery never fail to blow my mind Jake! thank you.

This is such a compelling series and Jake Brennan is a brilliant narrator. The stories are excellent and the writing is amongst the best out there. Love this series way more than any preset loop from a melotron.

Excellent story teller! Really fun and crazy stories.

This has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts. As a writer and storyteller myself, I have to say that I am really inspired and impressed by the excellent work!

Love your style of storytelling and the way of blending the characters together. Please, do a show on 3-6 mafia. If you haven’t already done. Keep up the good work 😀😀😀😀😀

I always look forward to these episodes. I’ve heard all of them! SO many stories I have never heard. Highly recommend!!!

The stories are interesting. The attempts at noir-ish writing are self-parody.

I enjoy the show, but that intro each episode with the bit about the bad mellotron clip is so annoying! Please, please , please consider retiring it. For the love of God!

You have reawakened in me the fascinating backstories of the great pop musicians of my lifetime. Such a fabulous series!!!!!!
