Disgraceland bills itself as a true-crime podcast involving some of the biggest names in music- stars like Jerry Lee Lewis, Sid Vicious, Tupac Shakur and James Brown.

Host Jake Brennan brings infamous events from music's hall of shame to life with his entertaining prose, using a little bit of poetic licence along the way to take us right inside the action.

As the featured episode, 'Sam Cooke: An Insatiable Libido and a Justifiable Homicide', shows the results are highly entertaining (and 'Mr Wonderful' might not have been quite so wonderful after all).
