  • REWIND – Ice-T: Crip Rhymes, a Cop Killer, Thieving Jewels and Inventing Gangsta Rap

    REWIND – Ice-T: Crip Rhymes, a Cop Killer, Thieving Jewels and Inventing Gangsta Rap
    May 3 2024
    Ice-T stoked the wrath of the President of the United States, led the life of a successful jewel thief, ran with one of LA’s most notorious street gangs, the Crips, and was a soldier in the US Army. Along the way, he invented gangsta rap. But it wouldn’t be rap music that would threaten his career—it would be hardcore music, particularly the song “Cop Killer” from his punk band, Body Count.

  • Garth Brooks: Earthquakes, Internet Rumors, and Missing Persons

    Garth Brooks: Earthquakes, Internet Rumors, and Missing Persons
    Apr 30 2024
    Garth Brooks has more albums that have sold over 10 million copies than any other artist in history. He cut one of the biggest record deals in history – bigger than Madonna or Prince, a deal matched at the time only by Michael Jackson. His live shows are just as big, like when he triggered an actual earthquake in Baton Rouge. But it was along Garth Brooks’ seismic tour route that online detectives began to suss out a rumor…a rumor tying together the cities in which Garth Brooks performed and missing persons cases. A rumor that left some people asking, “Where are the bodies, G?” This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including descriptions of domestic violence.

This is episode I'll be thinking about for days

I've always loved this podcast. It was actually the very first podcast I ever listened to right before the second season came out. I remember listening to the whole first season that night. I have never had a bad thing to say about the show. I even enjoyed the episodes about musicians I don't really care for. But you hit on everything with this episode. Tom Petty's death was such a tragedy and a huge loss to the music world and you could really feel it in the way you told it. You need to do one on Chris Cornell when I heard he died it was such a gut punch. You are the one person that would tell his story the right way just you did with Tom Petty. Keep the awesome work!! 🤘🏻🎸

Killer Content

One of my top 3 podcasts of a time. Even the ones about people you don't listen to are interesting. Keep up the good work Jake.

So happy I found this one!

This is such a great show! Well-researched and told stories, surprising details, and Jake’s voice is all I want to listen to all day. Badlands is also good - highly recommend!

could have been great.

I would really like to listen but the profanity is too much and not necessary. Really unfortunate how far we have fallen as a society.
