    Gianni Versace: Sly Stallone, Madonna, Elton John, a Serial Killer, and the Death of the Sun King
    Jul 2 2024
    Gianni Versace was a runway iconoclast who outfitted the likes of Madonna, Demi Moore, Prince, Sylvester Stallone, and Don Johnson. He lived like Louis XIV and counted Princess Di and Elton John among his friends. He was plagued by rumors of ties to the Calabrian mafia and a secret health diagnosis. Those rumors continued to persist long after he was gunned down by a serial killer who had been on the lam after murdering four other men in three states. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including suicide and graphic depictions of violence.

  • REWIND - Prince: Control, Ecstasy, Dark Funk and Fentanyl

    REWIND - Prince: Control, Ecstasy, Dark Funk and Fentanyl
    Jun 28 2024
    Few pop artists achieved the dizzying creative and career highs that Prince did. An artist who famously stayed away from drugs and most anything that would cause him to lose control, Prince was aided in his legendary musical output by a small army of creative alter egos, who helped him maintain control and helped him reign supreme as one of the greatest pop musicians of all time, until of course, all control was lost.

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.
