| 6/23/26 | ![]() Updates, Resolutions, and Conclusions to Infamous Music Crimes | 67 | We’ve been brought up on tv crime shows and police procedurals…in about 45 minutes, a crime is committed, evidence gathered, suspects identified and arrested, sent to trial and either convicted or acquitted. In real life, though, it doesn’t work that way. When we learn of a horrific crime, it occupies the news cycle for days, weeks, and even months as the case plays out…but then, inevitably, something else comes along, and we move on before the story of that crime is complete. Has the case gone cold?... Did anyone ever get arrested?...was there a conviction?... If so, what happened at the trial?... Did anyone go to jail?... And if someone is in prison, what’s their status? In short, was justice served?... Much of the time, we don’t know because no one ever follows up…and if they do, these new details get lost in the constant deluge of information that comes up every day. I’m ac, and this is episode 67 of “uncharted: crime and mayhem in the music industry”…and over the life of this show, we’ve talked about dozens of cases, most of which have been resolved…but some of these tales just keep on going. Time for some updates, resolutions, and conclusions to some very infamous crimes from the world of music. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 33m 12s | ||||||

| 12/9/25 | ![]() How Owsley Stanley’s LSD Changed Music Part 2 | 55 | In part 2 of "How Owsley Stanley's LSD Changed Music", we dive deeper into the extraordinary story of how Owsley's homemade LSD shaped the sound and culture of an entire generation. From fueling the psychedelic revolution that transformed The Beatles, The Beach Boys, and Jimi Hendrix, to bankrolling the Grateful Dead’s legendary audio experiments... Owsley’s influence went far beyond drugs. His obsession with sonic perfection led to groundbreaking innovations like stage monitors, noise-cancelling technology, and the awe-inspiring “Wall of Sound”...a concert system so massive, that it changed live music forever. This is the story of a man whose illicit empire altered the course of music history, technology, and even Silicon Valley. Learn more about your ad choices.

From the birth of the legendary “Wall of Sound” PA system to the secret labs that churned out the most potent LSD on the planet, this is the long, strange trip of how Owsley Stanley became a folk hero, a criminal mastermind, and an audio pioneer... all at once.

| 9/30/25 | ![]() The Miami Showband Massacre | 50 | The 1970s were a dangerous time in Ireland. An era known as “The Troubles” began in the late 1960s. It was protestants vs. Catholics, British loyalists against Irish unionists, the British army vs. the IRA, the UDA, and other groups… There were bombings, assassinations, guerrilla campaigns, and roaming paramilitary groups, both official and unofficial. It saw civil disobedience, riots, mass protests, segregation, and many, many deaths…more than 3500 people, mostly civilians, died before things calmed down in the late 90s. July 31, 1975, was one of the bloodiest nights in the history of Irish music…in fact, it rivals some of the worst violence against musicians outside hits involving drug cartels in Mexico and South America…and people are still looking for answers. I’m Alan Cross, and this is episode 50 of “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry”. This is the story of what became known as “The Miami Showband Massacre”.

| 9/16/25 | ![]() Dave Navarro: A Witness to Murder | 49 | Imagine being David, a 15-year-old kid growing up in Southern California. You’re already typically confused because, well, you’re 15. You’re an only child, and your mom and dad have divorced, resulting in a joint custody situation that adds to your confusion. Your mom is dating again. Her current boyfriend doesn’t seem to be a good dude…your only solace is music… Then, one morning in late February 1983, you’re sick in bed and home from school. Mom is out for a morning jog. That’s when you hear someone breaking into the house. When you get up to look, you’re confronted by someone pointing a gun at you by someone you know…you’re handcuffed and locked in the bathroom…when his mom got home, she argued with the gunman. Before he took off, the guy let Dave out of the bathroom and told him, “Don’t say anything…keep your mouth shut—or else”—and then he left. Young Dave was terrified, so he kept his mouth shut. But that wasn’t the end of it, though…a week later, this same guy returned to the house and shot David’s mom and her best friend dead…he then went on the lam for nearly a decade… The trauma that David experienced was unimaginable…even though he grew up to be the guitarist for Jane’s Addiction, one of the iconic alt-rock bands of the late 80s and 90s, processing what happened on that day in February 1983 sticks with him to this day… I’m Alan Cross, and this time, it’s all about Dave Navarro and his witness to murder.

| 9/2/25 | ![]() Morris Levy’s: Music’s Most Mobbed-Up Man, Part 2 | 48 | The influence of organized crime extends everywhere…drugs, loan-sharking, protection rackets, shakedowns, gambling, prostitution, money laundering, waste disposal—and the music industry. It’s not something we hear about so much anymore…but in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s, it was very much a thing…and if you were operating in the music business during those decades, you would have come across Morris Levy. He liked to project the image of the savvy businessman, an entrepreneur running a successful record label who was also a philanthropist, raising money for charities like opera companies and children’s hospitals. But sitting atop his pyramid of companies, Levy stole money from artists, shook down record retailers, laundered money, cheated record pressing plants, and threatened people who got in his way…his influence was far, far greater than the size of Roulette would indicate. If you wanted to stand up to Morris, you had to be careful…there was a .38 in his desk drawer and he had several associates on the payroll that carried baseball bats in case a meeting turned difficult…and if that didn’t scare you, there were his silent backers in the mafia. With this backroom help, Morris was able to get his way with everyone from young emerging singers to—believe it or not—John Lennon. Levy ran his corner of the music business his way for decades—until he couldn’t. This is part two of “Morris Levy: music’s most mobbed-up man”. Learn more about your ad choices.

| 8/19/25 | ![]() Morris Levy: Music’s Most Mobbed-Up Man, Part 1 | 47 | There are all kinds of shady and dangerous creatures lurking in the music industry. Since about the mid-20th century, the mob has found ways to extract money by getting involved in record labels, radio stations, artist management, and live music venues. Although things aren’t what they used to be, the mob’s involvement played a key part in the development of the music industry for decades. One of the key figures in all this ran a New York-based label called “Roulette Records,” which started business in 1957. One of the co-founders was Morris Levy, who got his start in jazz clubs. At his peak, Levy headed 90 companies employing over 900 people, including music publishing, the independent record label game, running record stores, operating record-pressing plants, tape-duplicating facilities, artist management, and a music distribution company. Some called him an “entrepreneur”…but the truth was Morris—“Mo” or “Moishe” to his friends (and a few enemies)—was a crook who controlled far more of the industry than people realized…and much of his business was connected to organized crime. Morris was probably the most mobbed-up music man in history…a lot of people were ripped off for tens of millions of dollars…and more than one person got hurt.

| 8/5/25 | ![]() The Life and Crazy Times of Ozzy Osbourne | 46 | You don’t get much more Rock Star than Ozzy Osbourne. Through more than 50 years, his wild persona and crazy behaviour not only made him an icon of rock 'n' roll, but also a larger-than-life cultural figure popular with three or four generations. Given the abuse that he inflicted upon himself, it’s a miracle that he made it to age 76. On this edition of Uncharted, we’re going to trace the insanity that was Ozzy from birth to death. And you can’t do that without honouring his music. He will be rightly remembered as the Godfather of Heavy Metal. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices | 42m 12s | ||||||
