I don’t like this at all. Both tone & content of the show is sensationalist & shouty; the equivalent of an article by tabloid papers & the rhetoric of Trump et al.
As a music dependent human being and true crime aficionada, this is the perfect mix. When you mix Debbie Harry with Ted Bundy and Phil Spector, It gets more interesting. Just as Sharon Tate with the 60’s free love mentality and Charles Manson. No matter how much our idols experimented with live and how dark it could get, your voice soothes the story and evens it with sweetness and a glass or bourbon🥃🍨
There’s great content on this podcast, but at this point it’s quite ironic that you love talking about the “dark”history of everyone from Diddy to the Temptations, but never Elvis. He’s right there. In the name and pic. 🤷🏽♀️ How odd.
Great story teller! I’m locked in with the first sentence. So happy to find you!!
Disgraceland is one of my favorite shows, always comes through with new information and interesting facts that aren’t common knowledge! Jake tells each story with passion, and really helps the listener envision the lifestyle and experience of each band/artist/legend and does it with CLASS! Thanks for all you do to help us remember the stars from past and present☺️🎶
