Hey Discos, need a little more disgrace land in your life?

Just a touch to get you through?

Yeah, me too.

This is the podcast that comes after the podcast.

Welcome to Disgraceland, the after party.

friend, Sharon Tate, and four others at Sharon Tate's rented home.

Sharon Tate, of course, was a huge star.
