  • REWIND - Slick Rick: Hustle, Iconic Flow and a Menacing Tormentor

    REWIND - Slick Rick: Hustle, Iconic Flow and a Menacing Tormentor
    Jul 19 2024
    Slick Rick has one of the most iconic voices in hip hip history. His style is completely his own, and his success owes as much to his delivery as it does to his hustle. Slick Rick worked hard to get to the top, and once he made it he was nearly cut down by drugs and violence - violence inflicted upon him by someone from his inner circle. Listen to hear how Slick Rick fought back and continued his flow. This episode was originally released on June 11, 2019.

  • Donny Hathaway: Angels, Demons, and Unexplained Visions

    Donny Hathaway: Angels, Demons, and Unexplained Visions
    Jul 16 2024
    Donny Hathaway was a singer, songwriter, and performer so inspiring that he compelled Stevie Wonder to change the way he sang, got Amy Winehouse to name-check him in her lyrics, and made musical giants like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin stand up and take notice. But he was as troubled as he was talented. He suffered from hallucinations and paranoia, and was haunted in the recording studio just hours before his mysterious death at the age of 33. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including suicide.

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.
