“I’ve enjoyed soke of his other podcasts. But i could get past the corny interludes and sound bites in this one. The creator probably had a difficult time translating the experience of mental illness into an auditory experience. And it just doesn’t work. It’s heavy handed.”

“Coming from someone that grew up on Brian and let Brian’s music be the soundtrack to my life. The good/bad times, the loves, the breakups, the crushes, the loneliness. I could always find it in Brian’s creations.
I really liked the presentation and format of your chapters. I knew the history,...”Read full review »

“It would be good if the we knew whether or not Brian’s voice is an old recording of him, or someone reading his memoirs. Are the recordings actually his? The woman states that they are, but I’m skeptical.
The echoing, repetitive noises are super annoying.
Bye.”

“Look, the Brian Wilson story has been rehashed so many times the last ten years it practically writes itself…but this podcast does an excellent job of giving you a glimpse into a man who had all the fame, pressures, turmoil, and bad trips anyone could take. Yes, a lot of this show is typical...”Read full review »

“The re-enactments and constant sound bytes are really corny. I gave it a 2 because the sound quality is good. I couldn’t force myself to listen to it.”

“Story is interesting, but the sound design is beyond distracting. Intrusive, echoey asides interrupt the narrative, derailing the show, over and over again. 27 Club & Disgraceland are far better productions.”

“I’ve enjoyed many of Brennan’s podcasts, and I was hoping the Blood on the Tracks series would get to Dylan. Listening to this has been most enjoyable, and has sent me down Dylan rabbit-holes that I’d never considered. This series has been the triggering point that has brought me great joy.”

“I’ve listened to every season of blood on the tracks as well as disgraceland, about a girl, and 27 club. The finale for Bob Dylan’s season was insightful and inspiring. Being from Minnesota, the ending is a breath of fresh air at the end.”

“The voiceovers seemed like a great addition, but they become overly intrusive and take away from the flow of the show. Oh how I wanted to finish Lennon and Dylan. But I can’t do it with those demon voices”

“People are crazy. In podcast land, this is what HBO did with shows like GOT. On a smaller scale obviously — and very niche to those that like the narrative and POV that all of Jake Brennan’s shows have. Love the series and flow. Love the structure. The reviewers that don’t like it almost likely...”Read full review »

I can see why this would be off putting for certain audiences, but at the same time I really enjoy hearing something different like this. Is it perfect? No, but Jake tried something different here and if...”Read full review »

“The looping of the altered voices over and over throughout the intro is just too much. It’s excruciating. I often hear from friend who listen to the podcast that his work is a little overproduced, too much projection of the author in to the podcast. I haven’t really had a problem with that. I...”Read full review »

Do yourself a favor and read or listen to any of the many books about Lennon. They’ll be much more enjoyable or at...”Read full review »

“Trying to get through this podcast. I just fast forwarded through the “disguised voice” intro, which leads up to the reveal of the title. Hard to decipher. Overdone and lends very little to the story. Host plays too many roles. Disappointed in the Keith Richards narrative. Surprised they couldn’t...”Read full review »

“If jake stuck to just one podcast instead of three then the content might be of higher quality, but no he likes to drag every story out way past the point of being interesting by padding them out with totally made up nonsense and speculation, this guy just loves the sound of his own voice!”
