Disgraceland

Disgraceland is a podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Each episode traces the most insane criminal stories surrounding our most interesting and infamous pop stars. Disgraceland melds music history, true crime and transgressive fiction. Host Jake Brennan’s engrossing first-person style brings the stories to life, from the Rolling Stones nightmare at Altamont to Cardi B beating down people in her path to stardom, with evocative imaginings of the musicians' thoughts and actions along the way.

Sean “Diddy” Combs (Pt. 2): The Explicit Story Behind the Indictments

Chris Farley: Raging Bulls, Insatiable Appetites, Dead Comics, and a Four-Day Plunge off the Edge

Everything about Chris Farley was larger than life. His comedy, his laughs, the risks he took in front of a live studio audience – they were all bigger than anyone else's. So were his appetites. Not just for performance, but for life. He plowed through a plate glass window, 15 stories above downtown Chicago. He was kicked out of college for burning down a girl's house. He disappeared with two Playboy models in Los Angeles and woke up the next morning in Hawaii. He modeled his career on an iconic dead comedian – even following the comic's path, straight to an early grave. Who are your favorite Saturday Night Live cast members? Which cast was your favorite?
