“This is such a compelling series and Jake Brennan is a brilliant narrator. The stories are excellent and the writing is amongst the best out there.
Love this series way more than any preset loop from a melotron.”

“By far my favorite podcast!! I love music and the stories of the musicians told by Jake!! He gets your attention, then retains and entertains it!! He does this so well with me that my inter spoiled child gets a little sad when I figure out he’s wrapping up an episode!! Rock on Jake!!”

“What a shame, this podcast could be great, if it weren’t for the constant annoying sound effects and repeating dialogue. The stories stand on there own, and are great, but as it is I can’t listen to this podcast because of all the unnecessary distracting crap layered on top the the dialogue.”

“Always enjoy the show and the writing is top notch. Lately, tho, I find it really hard to focus on the voiceover because the background sounds are too loud. I listen with headphones and just gave up on the GNR episode (pt. 2) because I simply couldn’t focus on the 2 competing sound streams at...”Read full review »

“A living legend
Do a podcast on him. He’s my neighbour but he’s not too sociable. We live in a lovley spot in Co. down but he is not too friendly. I love your podcast. He is probably the only living legend we have. Adore his music. Love your podcast too. Many thanks

“Love the show. I found it a little weird that Eminem was the only artist (for episodes I have listened to) where you needed to preface the fact that you didn’t like his music or consider it great in the preamble.
Why did ‘Em get this treatment exclusively?
All good either way - just don’t sit...”Read full review »

“The content is well researched and the host has a good voice, but they can’t help themselves from going on long, drawn out narratives that they may think add to the tale, but really takes the listener out of the story.

“My only complaint is they are short but incredibly interesting. After every episode I alway hope for a part two. These are told in a way that feels like your listening to a friend’s stories. Cannot recommend enough. Also check out Badlands which is more focused off Hollywood”

“I was late to the party, but I’ve been listening for a few years now, and I’m obviously hooked. What a gift to go back to Episode 1 on Jerry Lee Lewis with its re-release. It’s one of the most disgraceful rock-n-roll stories out there that even this Mississippi 50-something-girl didn’t know. I...”Read full review »
