Can you imagine a podcast that focuses on famous athletes behaving badly? The choices are endless. And no sport is exempt. From betting scandals in tennis to almost weekly scandals in the NFL, it's sad that the high standards we set for our athletic heroes are too often crushed by reality.
That's why the newest season of Badlands, hosted by Jake Brennan will be so delightful. New episodes premiere on October 26th across all podcast platforms. As a bonus, Amazon Music listeners can binge all 10 episodes of the new season, on-demand on 10/26.
The trailer for this season of Badlands is now live, and you can listen to it HERE.
Badlands is a true-crime podcast that dives deep into the real stories of some of the most famous popular culture figures, their real life crimes and scandalous careers. The all-new special season will tell the stories of legendary athletes whose misdeeds off the field are as unbelievable as some of their record-breaking plays. Brennan will explore stories about Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, Joe Namath, Robert Rozier, and Lawrence Taylor. And just in time for the World Cup, the show tackles the sins and scandals of the soccer world, with episodes on Diego Maradona, Andrés Escobar, and more.
The first episode on October 26th will focus on Ray Lewis and his journey from surviving in Baltimore, to a double murder in Atlanta.
The entire lineup for this season also includes deep dives into the following athletes:
- EP 2: Michael Vick: Shallow Graves, Dogfights, and Self-Destruction
- EP 3: Joe Namath: Rubbing Elbows with the Mafia, Accused of Assault, and the Birth of the Rockstar Gladiator
- EP 4: Robert Rozier: Severed Heads, Death Angels, and the Devil’s Night Out
- EP 5: Diego Maradona: Stolen Blood, Italian Gangsters, and the Hand of God
- EP 6: Paul Gascoigne: A Dead Pool, a Police Standoff, and a Cold-Blooded Killer
- EP 7: The Hillsborough Disaster: A Fatal Human Crush, Soccer Hooligans, and a Massive Cover-up
- EP 8: Andrés Escobar: Laundered Drug Money, a Cocaine Kingpin, and the Goal that Led to a Shocking Murder
- EP 9: Bruno Fernandes de Souza: Sex Parties, Paternity Tests, and Murder
- EP 10: Lawrence Taylor: Broken Legs, Handshake Drugs, and Undercover Grandmas
Here's an idea for the next season of Badlands. Dedicate an entire season to team owners acting badly. Imagine the possibilities. The podcast could even dedicate an entire season to Dan Snyder of the Washington Commanders.
