This podcast was so difficult to listen to but I kept listening thinking eventually it would go somewhere but it doesn’t. It’s just a bunch of people speculating & pointing fingers and spreading rumors pretending to actually remember events from 40 years ago while they were stoned out of...Read full review »

No
Jake’s voice and narration is so cringe I couldn’t keep listening. Super bummer bc I like all of Payne’s other stuff. This one’s a no for me.

Hoping for a season 3!!! I recommend this podcast to every fellow deadhead or true crime fan I meet. Please look into the murders connected to Rainbow Family Gatherings and see if there’s any connections.

Allow the interviewee’s to carry this story without the narrator repeating their words in a summary.

100% agree with total waste of time review

As a deadhead and a true crime pod lover this checks off all the boxes for me.
Lildwsp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/05/23
No resolutions, a bunch of hypothetical scenarios and rambling opinions about our society from just random people. With the success of Disgraceland, I am surprised Jake Brennan is involved with this podcast.

I like this podcast for so many reasons it is hard to list on this review. The narration and subject matter are something to behold. As a Deadhead it is cool to hear the story although it breaks my heart at the same time. What a magical experience the Dead culture brings to our society and as...Read full review »

Decent content but the female presenters vocal fry and habit of extending the last word of her sentences is beyond annoying and makes this podcast unlistenable.

Very interesting!
Landsky45 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 05/20/23
I think your investigative journalism Is excellent. So when I heard your add for this series I was excited. My one and only hang up is the bio on the Grateful Dead by your co-host it was a little much Explaining the sub culture or complete history and bio of the dead? It gave me the sense of...Read full review »

I’ve enjoyed both of you separately and now together my mind is blown or maybe it’s more melt your face kinda vibe. I’m a gd fan in oregon and there’s a good chance you could suss some witness out of the wood work. I know some bands- who have strong followings here, I bet you there’s a good...Read full review »

Doesn’t really get anywhere. Unfortunate
sfgjklnvfhknnffj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/06/23
Jake was so awful to listen to I had to stop. The story line jumped around and confused me. Too bad because the topic is interesting and I would have like to listen but just can’t stand it! I’ve like other things Payne has done but the addition of the other narrator was just cringe
amymmccracken via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/15/23
Meh
interesting at times but was cringe for the most part.
swiftxcut via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/16/23
I know some of the folks in this podcast. I hope this leads to more action on these cases. Can you look into the whereabouts of Brad Ferrinton? He’s been missing for several years now, he was my road dawg! My number is (740)541-0534
Bj from Athens county Ohio via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/26/22
Very well researched and produced. Worthwhile listening.
jheave via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/20/22
You couldn’t mix two better voices than Brennan and Lindsay. It’s sweet melody to listen to.
andrealynnp via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/13/22
This is great until the guy starts whispering. Unlistenable after that. Just let Payne do the talking.
cconner76 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/09/22
First season was pretty great. I remember enjoying it and having very few hangups. Overall, I would give S1 five stars. Unfortunately, season two missed the mark. Bad. I would give S2 one star. Its structure is staggered and off, lacking any flow. Honestly though, my biggest qualm is with...Read full review »
shrimponrice via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/21/22
I loved season 1 but season 2 was hard to follow and narratively confusing. He would talk about a story, skip around to other stories, and then go back with no clear beginning or endings. Please don’t do this in season 3.
chelseawwwwooong via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/14/22
I have to stop listening to anything Jake Brennan narrates. Dear Lord, can we be more dramatic and overly-acted? This podcast is so all over the place, too. It’s hard to stay focused.
Stinertron79 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/24/22
I love The Dead and I love podcasts, but this is just terrible. Season one was pretty good (Payne’s narration is kinda tough to take, but otherwise…)so I was excited for this. It’s just so disjointed. The editing is terrible, there is no clear direction to the stories. It’ll just veer off...Read full review »
Jeff 1325678 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/07/22
The really is some sensationalism in podcast. Hard reach through out the show bc there’s barely a story here. I can’t help but laugh at how cheesy this is and how it try’s to paint the culture of the grateful dead as dark and shrouded in violence. Don’t waste your time.
CptnRttlsnk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/22
Really has nothing to do with the Grateful Dead. Grasping at straws. Not even worth my time to write a dis review. Just garbage.
Sharkpedo Man via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/25/22
Season 1 is really really good, until they just give up on the trail completely for no real reason…. And sadly season 2 is mostly filler. There’s an interesting moment or two, but the awful format of season 2 (jumping around to random stories many of which most fans already know), is just so...Read full review »
Dmst2112 via Apple Podcasts · Canada · 07/21/22
This podcast is everything true crime mixed with pop culture should be! A dark journey of tales of the dead and gone. All the while giving you a taste of the long, strange trip of the Grateful Dead. Very good stuff!
EmmyB1023 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/09/22
Bummer man! This was a good podcast until the final episode and the podcasters totally copped out. I’m sad this ended so poorly. There is something gross and exploitive about this show that really bugs me. Scattered and unfocused. Tenderfoot shows are so hit or miss.
Dean Winkleson via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/03/22
I really loved season one but I felt confused by the second season. I thought the format might follow season one with a deep dive on a particular case but everything jumped around and the last episode had me wondering ‘is that it?’ And hoping that everything may have been woven together and tied...Read full review »

Wow jake needs to stop talking asap
Ggrampus via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/20/22
Ugh
I have listened to Payne Lindsay’s other podcasts but this one takes way too much concentration on my part to hear what they are saying. It’s over produced with background music and narration that doesn’t have enough low and high inflections, but is more rapid and uninteresting making it very...Read full review »
hjortians via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/22
I enjoy the podcast but I have a really hard time with Jake’s narration. I find myself fast forwarding.
List Deb via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/15/22
I can’t do it. Jake’s voice is like one of those douchey guys who thinks he’s cooler than everyone else in the room and wants to make sure you know it.
Evilmonkeypaw via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/14/22
I'm only listening all the way through because I'm a Deadhead and like true crime so the topic is interesting. But the in-between parts are absolutely painful to listen to. Just talk normally dude! The inflection in his voice is ridiculous and cheesy and the text he's reading is even...Read full review »
Parjata via Apple Podcasts · Germany · 06/13/22
Season one was great. Lots of interviews with people involved and facts. Season 2- especially the case that takes up the first few episodes, is very narrative and speculation where they had the bad guy they chose from the start. Very little facts and no looking into the guy being hit by a car...Read full review »
Krysia24 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/11/22
I will say the topic of this show is great and I’m enjoying that aspect of it. The interviews are fine. What I do have to say is the series narration is horrible. The canned phony voice is just irritating and the constant attempt at being clever by slipping in Grateful Dead lyrics into the...Read full review »

Payne and his team are great at keeping listeners hooked. I have enjoyed dead and gone just as much as up and vanished, and can’t wait to listen to more.
Andreab6881 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/22
I love the podcast itself. However I pay to listen to these episodes, and they never work. They are always currently unavailable or simply buffer without playing. I have contacted tenderfoot tv via their website three times with no response.
Steed11tgod via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/22
Season one is much better than season two. Season two seems like a small amount of facts with a lot of filler. Love Paynes work in all his shoes but please remove Jake Brennan. His made up stories take away from the cases and I just end up fast forwarding through when I hear his voice. It’s the...Read full review »
Jakey Pakey via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/03/22
Meh
The thread that holds this season together is tenuous at best. I mean, I bet 15% of the people who died this year were Rolling Stones fans, is that worth a podcast? No. If you have a band of 100 thousand roaming Gypsies and drug users, some of them will die. It’s just a numbers game. Last season...Read full review »
Snizzz via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/22
Season one great !!! Season 2 with the dude trying to be Jim Morrison with his long monologues over explaining the mood …. awful …. and the political agenda politics speeches are contrived and unnecessary to the story . The content of the cases is very solid , wish there was more ….. but that Jim...Read full review »
COWBOY68 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/22
One of my favorite podcasts, and I love the story telling it’s like old radio really paints a visceral picture in my mind, I do hope some of these cases will be resolved and the surviving family members will have some closure. Keep it up I look forward to the next season
stihl joking via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/21/22
Very interesting (especially Season 1) and I like both hosts just fine- ignore the negative reviews and give it a shot.
Dr Fate via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/22
“Experts” make a lot of opinions about race that do not add to the story or cases. I tried to overlook it but it too much when it doesn’t have to do with missing people. In season 1 it was valid but season two is trying to make a point of nothing. The broad strokes of anti police are too much as...Read full review »
Momma2James via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/22
robert durst was most assuredly a bad guy, but he was convicted of killing his friend, susan berman, not his wife kathie. come on, guys. what else isn’t fact-checked?
sastrauss via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/20/22
The storyline of season 1 was compelling and entertaining, but season 2 is lacks a cohesive arch. The story is all over the place, even within a single episode, and it’s hard to get into. Jake’s great, but I miss Payne.
