“I’d listen to Payne read a phone book. The guy who gives us background on the Dead is cringy and totally ruined this podcast for me.”

“Love Payne Lindsey and loved Dead and Gone season 1 but this season was a snooze fest. I was so excited to listen during an 8 hr car trip only to find myself nodding off and this podcast is literally a combination of my two most favorite things - Grateful Dead and True Crime! Each episode was so...”Read full review »

“Payne’s part of this podcast is great, and he has a good podcast voice, and does great research to tell his story. Unfortunately you have to skip through the other guy’s parts, he tries too hard to make his voice sound good, and his content isn’t great. Not sure this format works.”

“This podcast is compelling - wonderful story telling, a human touch, great narration. Easy to follow but still exciting enough. And who doesn’t love hearing about hippies.
I appreciate the respect and empathy towards the victims and their loved ones.
I’m listening for the second time now and...”Read full review »

“Disjointd episodes, host sounds too baked, and the episodes go nowhere. Is it a history of the Grateful Dead or an expose of various disappearances associated with the band's followers? Needs to pick a lane because it's not doing either well.”Read full review »

“Is anyone else sick of Payne Lindsay yet?? Like other people have said this podcast goes nowhere and is just a bunch of speculation. It’s really hard to listen to and not enjoyable.”

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 »

“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.”

“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.”

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 »

“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 »

“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”

“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”

“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 »

“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.”

This podcast is so all over the place, too. It’s hard to stay focused.”

“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 »

“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.”

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 »
