“This is the best podcast ever! I was first introduced to Jake through the podcast Dead and Gone where Jake Brennan And Payne Lindsay take a deep dive into the Grateful Dead. I absolutely love this podcast and look forward to it every week. I highly recommend Disgraceland.”

“I came across Disgraceland in Sept of 2020 and have listened obsessively since then. It’s everything I want in a storyteller format podcast- factual, detailed, shocking, riveting, and most of all- narrated in a voice that pulls you and gets your undivided attention. If you’re a music and crime...”Read full review »

“Disgraceland fell into my lap on a random search, and the first one I listened to was the Black Sabbath episode. Hearing the infamous bat story, and other ancient musical lore that I have already heard my whole life told in a way that only Jake can, makes it feel like I am getting an exclusive...”Read full review »

“I somewhat struggle to put into words how to describe be this podcast. It’s production value is so top notch, the sound quality is on another level. It is really like the Spielberg level.

“I love some podcasts and read a lot but not one keeps me as riveted as Disgraceland. Jake’s a talented storyteller. Passionate, smart, and talented (and Gen X😊). What makes it one of the best is that Jake Brennan is probably the most authentic person in podcasting. (I’m on the Patreon but had to...”Read full review »

“I personally have a huge issue with your justification of Reginald Denny being beat by thugs because cop thugs beat Rodney King. The King and Denny beatings are both awful but very different. The fact you can’t see that is appalling.”
