Double Elvis and 91勛圖厙Media Announce "Blood on the Tracks: The John Lennon Story"

Jake Brennan Returns to Host the Second Season of the Part True-crime, Part Historical Fiction Podcast Exploring the Story of The Rebel, Radical and Revolutionary, John Lennon

Blood on the Tracks: The John Lennon Story to Premiere August 19th With The First Two Episodes of the 10-Episode Series; Trailer

WHAT:

 

 

 

: The John Lennon Story will take a deep dive into the story of John Lennons post-Beatles years in the turbulent, political, and violent 1970s, told from the perspective of those who knew him best. The season will delve deep into Lennons ties with political revolutionaries, the demonization of his character by the FBI and President Nixon, the curdling of his relationship with former songwriting partner Paul McCartney, the 18-month period of debauchery in Los Angeles known as The Lost Weekend, and his untimely assassination at the age of 40.

Part true crime, part historical fiction, part spoken word lo-fi beat noir brought to you by Jake Brennan, the host of the award-winning music and true crime podcast, Disgraceland, the series will feature the fictionalized voices of Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Richard Nixon, and Mark David Chapman. Just like John Lennon, this podcast sounds like nothing youve heard before. Because you cant push the needle into the red without leaving a little blood on the tracks.

The narrative arc of this season will culminate in a truly transgressive way: first with an episode told from the POV of Lennons deranged assassin, and finally with an episode told from the POV of Holden Caulfield, a fictional character come to life who condemns the phoniness of Mark David Chapman and constructs a magically realistic portrait of Lennon existing in the 1980s.
