DISGRACELAND

A music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis, Ozzy Osbourne, Cardi B. Grateful Dead, Rolling Stones, A$AP Rocky, Led Zeppelin: Each episode tells the insane story of our greatest musicians and their criminal connections—from murder, arson, the occult, drug trafficking and countless other scandals and high stakes drama. Award-winning podcaster and author Jake Brennan narrates and produces this one-of-a-kind podcast. Disgraceland is not journalism. It is entertainment. Entertainment inspired by true crimes and events. However, certain scenes, characters and names are sometimes fictionalized for dramatic purposes as they are in most other dramatic storytelling mediums. Disgraceland releases episodes weekly. To listen to our full catalog of episodes, including our “After Party” episodes, head over to Amazon Music to listen completely free. Follow Disgraceland on the Internet and elsewhere @disgracelandpod and stay tuned here for bonus episodes and special content. As always, sources for each episode are available at disgracelandpod.com.
