Shows:
DISGRACELAND 🎧 this critically-acclaimed series melds music history, true crime and transgressive fiction to tell the stories of the world’s most infamous musicians. Disgraceland is the most downloaded music podcast in the world. The series became one of the first exclusive titles for Amazon Music as they announced their move in to podcasting and in April 2021, the spinoff franchise “Badlands” was announced.
DEAR YOUNG ROCKER 🎸 a first-person, coming of age story about the struggles of young adulthood and the power of music, told from a young female perspective. The show creates a dialogue around the issues of body image, gender power dynamics and mental health, and shines a spotlight on the way these issues are severely magnified during our formative years.
BLOOD ON THE TRACKS 🩸 part true crime, part historical fiction, and part spoken word lo-fi beat noir. Season one: Phil Spector. Season two: John Lennon.
27 CLUB ⌛️ Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Amy Winehouse and many more musical icons all died at the age of 27. Scandalous, tortured, dramatic, incredibly talented, these artists torched a wild path to their early graves and shifted and shaped our culture along the way. 27 Club tells their stories.
DEAD AND GONE ⚡️⚡️ Disgraceland host Jake Brennan teams up with Tenderfoot TV co-founder Payne Lindsey in Dead and Gone, a true crime music mystery set in the world of Jerry Garcia’s psychedelic rock band. The podcast looks at how, over the past five decades, a number of Dead Heads are missing, unidentified or dead.
ABOUT A GIRL 🎞 exploring the lives of women who shaped and influenced music’s most iconic male artists.
