DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the 'Godmother of Punk', but also the 'Original True Crime Girl'? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich and constant reckoning between art and artist all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed 'Disgos', the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and 'Rewind' episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com . To unlock ad-free listening, exclusive content, and connect with your fellow Disgos, go to www.disgracelandpod.com to become an All Access member. Rocka Rolla. more

I'm No Brakes Nu', host of A Pod Named Kickback. I spent 20 years as a rapper from DC who has appeared on 106 & Park, MTV's Direct Effect and became a legend in DC and the DMV for selling my CD's out of the trunk of my car and making fire music and music videos that watched like short movies. Never forget. I launched my internet radio show in April of 2012. The last few years I switched it to an official podcast and on this podcast I discuss the biggest stories in pop culture, politics, music, sex, and sports. Guests range from Cari Champion to Rula Jebreal to Freeway Ricky Ross, Lex P. And Drea of Pour Minds, TahoeTV, NBA players like Demar Johnson and hits of others. Some weeks I find one idea I'd like to discuss and solely focus on that with my co host Get Fit With Jacq 🤷🏾♂️ and sometimes I invite some of the brightest, most engaging and entertaining minds I can find to have these discussions with me on my virtual kickback. Don't tell anyone but sometimes I invite listeners on the podcast too. I record live at 7PM on Sunday nights on youtube. As I come up on my 12th year of edutaining you I only ask that you subscribe to the vibe and tell a friend to do so as well. #NoBrakes @NoBrakesNu @APodNamedKickback more

A reintroduction. blankSLATE is what comes next for SaVon, a clean canvas to reveal a voice he hasn't fully shown yet. A culture and music commentary podcast going past the headline and past the algorithm to find a different lens on media, music, and everything happening within the culture. A return to the kind of podcasting that built the format, before the clip economy reduced every show to a moment. Two shows. One name. The signature show drops weekly. Long-form episodes with rotating voices, slowing the headline down to read the fine print — bringing a lens the algorithm trains you to ignore. 'blankSLATE Radio' is the real-time companion, SaVon solo, reacting to the moment with the kind of perspective the lane is missing, shaped by the audience through mailbag submissions. For people who want more than a hot take. more
