June 26, 2024 Presenting DISGRACELAND - Bobby Brown: Cocaine Chicken, Horny Ghosts, and His Prerogative
Bobby Brown thrusted and gyrated his way to the top of the charts with Don’t Be Cruel, one of the biggest records of the late 1980s and an album that brought hip-hop’s hard-knock sensibilities to R&B. But fame did not change the Boston bad boy. At the height of his superstardom, Bobby Brown was arrested onstage for violating a lewd act law. He claimed to have a sexual encounter with a ghost at his lavish Atlanta mansion. And his party-hard ways may have been the reason why Mike Tyson shockingly lost a fight and thus lost his undefeated heavyweight title.
This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and police brutality.

June 19, 2024 Presenting DISGRACELAND - O.J. Simpson: Stolen Memorabilia, Armed Robbery, and Fake Gangsters
This is not the O.J. Simpson story you were expecting. This is the story of what happened after the former running back was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife and her friend. It’s an insane story that involves sports memorabilia, ex-cons, a gun, a simple plan gone horribly wrong, and one of the most unbelievable armed robberies in Las Vegas’s sordid history.
This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including domestic violence and graphic depictions of violence.

June 12, 2024 Presenting DISGRACELAND - Jose Canseco: SWAT Teams, Smuggled Drugs, and 'Roid Rage
Jose Canseco was a big league slugger who gave the people what they wanted. Not just massive home runs and a whole lot of stolen bases. He provided entertainment. And his audience, not just baseball fans but the world, ate it up. The private encounter with Madonna in her apartment that nearly cost him a spot on the roster. The obsession with performance enhancing drugs that made him the self-proclaimed godfather of steroids. But entertaining quickly spun out of control. Car crashes. SWAT teams. Smuggled drugs. Before too long, Jose Canseco found himself blacklisted, behind bars, and the focal point of a congressional hearing.

June 05, 2024 Presenting DISGRACELAND - R. Kelly: Superstars, Super Predators, and a 20-Year Reign of Sexual Terror
R. Kelly openly groomed teenage victims while on trial for child pornography – a trial based on sex tapes that were once sold at Tower Records. He wrote a song designed to help Michael Jackson turn attention away from his own troubling allegations, and he wrote that song while he was illegally married to a 15-year old. That marriage eventually brought about his downfall. But not before R. Kelly went on a 20-year reign of terror – all conducted in plain sight while he was one of the biggest R&B artists in the world.
This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including sexual assault, child sexual assault, and domestic violence.

May 29, 2024 REWIND - Aaron Hernandez: A Botched Execution, a Rattled Cage, and a Disgraced Patriot
In April 2015, Aaron Hernandez, a former tight end for the New England Patriots, was found guilty of the cold-blooded murder of a semi-pro footballer and sentenced to life in prison. But there’s more to this story than the tragic death of Odin Lloyd. The story of the most disgraced player in NFL history involves strip clubs, a botched execution, a disgruntled drug dealer, a busted eardrum, ex-con bodyguards, and an unsolved double homicide in the heart of Boston that was on the verge of going cold.

May 24, 2024 REWIND - Roman Polanski: Nazis, Murder, and Life on the Lam
As a child, Roman Polanski escaped from a Krakow ghetto on the day the Nazis took his father to a concentration camp. As a new filmmaker, he became the toast of young Hollywood with his 1968 horror masterpiece, Rosemary’s Baby. But after the brutal murder of his wife, Sharon Tate, at the hands of the Manson family, Polanski unraveled. He wound up committing a heinous crime that led him to escape yet again – this time fleeing the country when an angry judge was ready to throw the book at him.

May 22, 2024 REWIND - Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Sofia Coppola, and The Bling Ring
In the early 2010s, a group of burglars ransacked Hollywood homes like the city was their personal shopping mall. No celebrity was safe from their sticky fingers: Not Lindsay Lohan, not Orlando Bloom, and especially not Paris Hilton, who perhaps lost the most luxury loot of anyone. The thieves pocketed over $3 million dollars' worth of custom couture, cocaine, and cold card cash before they were caught. And when “The Bling Ring” finally traded their designer digs for orange jumpsuits, the world learned the most shocking aspect of the entire case: They were only teenagers.

May 17, 2024 REWIND - Mickey Rourke: Organized Crime, the IRA, and Method Acting into Oblivion
Acting came easy to Mickey Rourke. He was admitted to the prestigious Actors Studio after one audition, which is nuts when you consider that it took Jack Nicholson five auditions and six for Dustin Hoffman. But just because something came easy to Mickey Rourke didn’t mean he did things the easy way. His relationships with organizations like the Gambino crime family and the IRA became more talked about than the promising acting career he was busy tanking. He seriously considered carrying out a bloody revenge/suicide plot. And then he turned his back on the silver screen for a new life in the boxing ring. When he returned to Hollywood, his face was so pulverized and surgically altered that he was unrecognizable. So unrecognizable that he had to begin his journey all over again. And at the end of the line was either one of two things waiting for him: redemption or purgatory.

May 15, 2024 REWIND - Diego Maradona: Stolen Blood, Italian Gangsters, and the Hand of God
Diego Maradona was busted for drugs, prostitution, and shooting an air rifle at reporters. He was also associated with one of the biggest and oldest organized crime families in Italy. Despite all of this, Diego Maradona somehow still showed up the next day and played a great game of soccer. He even turned a soccer match into a weapon during a centuries-long war between England and Argentina. Diego Maradona was more than one of the greatest of all time on the pitch – he was also one of the most infamous.
