The Weirdness of Canada's Strawberry Fields and EdenFest Music Festivals | 64
In this episode of Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry, we dive into the spectacular failures of two Canadian music festivals that were supposed to make history. From Strawberry Fields in August of 1970, an event billed as "Canada’s Woodstock", to 1996's Edenfest, a 90s mega‑festival with a killer lineup and disastrous finances, we explore how ambition, poor planning, and runaway chaos can sink even the most promising events. These are the forgotten stories of how music festivals fall apart, and why the consequences can last for decades. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Live and Crazy Times of Keith Moon | 62
Keith Moon was more than the drummer for The Who. He was rock ’n’ roll chaos personified. On this episode of Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry, we dig through the myths and legends to tell the true story of "Moon the Loon": the pranks, the destruction, the addictions, and the raw musical genius. From legendary onstage explosions to arrests, excess, and a tragic end, this is a dark, outrageous, and unforgettable portrait of one of rock’s most self‑destructive icons.

The Once Upon a Time in Shaolin Caper | 61
What happens when a legendary hip‑hop collective, a single ultra‑exclusive album, and one of the most hated men in America collide? This is the unbelievable true story behind the most valuable piece of recorded music ever made: Wu‑Tang Clan’s "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin". Conceived as a protest against the collapse of music’s value in the digital age, the album was recorded in secret over six years, packaged like a Renaissance-era artwork, and released as a one‑of‑one CD. But what started as a bold artistic statement quickly spiralled into a saga of eccentric millionaires, internet hoaxes, lawsuits, FBI raids, and one pharmaceutical villain known worldwide as the “Pharma Bro.” From clandestine studio sessions in Marrakech to the surreal plan for a Bill Murray–led heist, we unravel the twists, scams, cultural debates, and legal battles that turned "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" into the most infamous album of all time. And yes, the story is still unfolding. This is the wild, true tale of the Wu‑Tang album that became a federal asset, a meme, a lawsuit magnet, and a myth. Learn more about your ad choices.

Kidnapped | 60
Kidnapping isn’t the first thing you associate with the music world...but it happens far more often, and far more brutally, than you might think. In this episode of Uncharted, we explore abduction stories involving artists from Solomon Northup and Fats Waller to Frank Sinatra Jr., Duffy, and entire bands targeted by cartels. Plus...the disturbing cases where musicians became the kidnappers themselves. These are the dark stories, unbelievable twists, and the dangers lurking behind kidnapping in music.

Times the Rock' N' Roll Party Went Too Far | 59
Rock’n’roll has always thrived on rebellion, excess, and the thrill of pushing every boundary. But sometimes, the party goes so far off the rails it becomes legendary...for all the wrong reasons. In this episode of Uncharted, we dive deep into the most infamous stories of rock-star overindulgence: from Led Zeppelin’s airborne palace of debauchery, to Keith Moon’s chaotic hotel escapades, to Queen’s jaw‑dropping Halloween blowout in New Orleans, and the near‑fatal addictions that almost claimed Guns N’ Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan. Some stories are myths. Some are very real. All of them show what happens when fame, money, and zero accountability collide. It’s wild, unbelievable, chaotic...and occasionally tragic. These are moments when the rock’n’roll party didn’t just get out of hand… it detonated. Strap in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Cover-Up of Kirsty MacColl's Death | 58
In December 2000, beloved British singer‑songwriter Kirsty MacColl, best known for her iconic duet with Shane MacGowan on “Fairytale of New York”, was enjoying a family vacation in Cozumel, Mexico. What should have been a peaceful day of snorkelling in a protected marine reserve instead became a tragedy. A 31‑foot powerboat tore illegally through a clearly marked no‑go zone, Kirsty pushed her son out of harm’s way and was killed instantly. What followed was even more shocking: contradictory witness accounts, missing evidence, questionable statements, and a legal outcome that many believe protected the wealthy and powerful rather than delivering justice. In this episode of Uncharted, we pull apart the tangled story behind Kirsty’s death, the botched investigation, the alleged cover‑up, and the decades‑long fight led by her mother, Jean MacColl, to uncover the truth. This is the story of a tragedy, a mother’s determination, and a battle for justice that still resonates to this day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Real Story Behind the Milli Vanilli Hoax | 57
We all know the punchline… but do we really know the story? In this episode of Uncharted, we dig into how Milli Vanilli went from unstoppable pop stars... to the center of one of music’s biggest scandals in the history of music. It’s a wild ride involving a controlling producer, a pair of ambitious young performers, and an industry that cared way more about image...and money...than honesty. From the massive hits to the infamous downfall, we walk through how the whole thing blew up...and why it probably would play out very differently today. This is the real story of the fraud, the hoax, the weird, and ultimately tragic tale of one of the biggest deceptions the music world has ever seen. Learn more about your ad choices.
