The combination of my favourite storyteller and true crime, at last! HOW TF DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO FIND YOU?! Nevermind, I’m here now, and I’m never leaving. Big love for all you do - you’ve continually inspire me since I was a kid, even so much as to drive me to work on the tech side of the industry, which has now whisked me into my 30th year of my career in what feels like a blink of an eye. Well done on this new branch, I can already tell it’s going to be a great one to explore.
Was told about your show from a friend and love it. Such in depth investigating from all styles of rock and rollers and no needless extra chatting, great voice too!
Correct me if I’m wrong here but is this not a copy of Strangeland and/or an Ai version?!
I don’t really do the crime genre too often or music pods for that matter - but music is a big part of my life and have always enjoyed reading biography’s and watching the odd doc - I was hooked from day one - Alan speaks so well and clearly puts tons of work into these
I always look forward to each episode as it sheds light into some dark corners of the music industry. Very nice storytelling pace.
