“Exhilarating music, culture, and hardcore history I've never heard before. Big fan here. I really enjoy following along. The secret information and the Hollywood stories are INSANE! Rich smut, serious depravity, and luridly lewd hard knock sensibilities told in such a smooth, sensational,...”Read full review »

“If the host would put his subjects front and center instead of himself and his theatrics this could be a great show. As it is, it’s cartoonish, eye-role inducing cringe. The content is there but personally I don’t need an injection of hipster-filtered-jazz-hands to grasp a biography. Calm down...”Read full review »

“It feels lazy to just keep putting out “rewinds”. If there isn’t new content, stop spamming us. I was a fan of all the Double Elvis shows so all the “rewinds” are exhausting”

“I generally love your show, but you all but blaming Asia Argento for the suicide of a known depressive ADULT Anthony Bourdain was nasty work. I’m not an Argento apologist, far from it. I don’t particularly like her, but blaming someone who has a long history of being abused since she was a child...”Read full review »

“I love the content, but the lazy diction of the mush-mouthed host makes about half of the episodes unlistenable for me. In some later episodes he speaks like he’s taking it a bit more seriously, and those are much better. Such a shame—I’d give it 4/5 stars if the host could just speak like he had...”Read full review »

“I’m listening to the early episodes. The complaints about the style of narration just go to show that people have different preferences. For me, it works. But I do agree with others about the over-the-top swearing. It’s one thing if it comes in naturally and believably, but too often it seems...”Read full review »

“The show mixes fact with imagination, & here lies its brilliance—the imagination part. I get wrapped up in any given show as if I were enjoying a welcome dream during a good night’s sleep; or an out-there story by Harlan Ellison. The show is original. Keep the faith, Jake.”
