Disgraceland

Disgraceland

Disgraceland is a podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Each episode traces the most insane criminal stories surrounding our most interesting and infamous pop stars. Disgraceland melds music history, true crime and transgressive fiction. Host Jake Brennan’s engrossing first-person style brings the stories to life, from the Rolling Stones nightmare at Altamont to Cardi B beating down people in her path to stardom, with evocative imaginings of the musicians' thoughts and actions along the way.

Sigourney Weaver: A Goddess, Beasts and Demons, and Paying Tribute from Death Row

In classic ‘80s films like Ghostbusters and Aliens, Sigourney Weaver battled demons and beasts. But to one particular inmate on death row in Georgia, she battled those demons and beasts in real life as well. To Alexander Williams, a convicted murderer, Sigourney Weaver was a goddess – a divine being sent to this earth to do battle with evil. He worshiped her from the floor of his prison cell. And as his day of reckoning drew closer, he waited for a glimmer of hope that the goddess would intervene and change his fate. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including depictions of suicide, sexual assault, and child abuse.

Matthew Perry: The One Where He Dies

Friends star Matthew Perry battled addiction through the white-hot glare of fame while having the number one show on television and the number one movie in theaters at the same time while dating the biggest movie star on the planet. He was a celebrity who experienced unimaginable popularity and crushing loneliness, a dichotomy that drove his addiction, an addiction that caused him to suffer through a coma, various stints in rehab, nine surgeries, broken teeth, broken ribs, and ultimately forced him to succumb to predatory drug dealers and crooked doctors, but not before finding real purpose in this life and helping millions of other addicts fight their own addictions.  To see the full list of contributors, see the show notes at www.disgracelandpod.com.
