We’ve covered some of the biggest names in music on this show, but this episode may take the cake for level of crazy. Rick James lived the life of a rock star, pretty much from out of the womb, and the stories that go along with his crazy life may make you laugh, cry, cringe, or flat-out leave you saying WTF, dude? From his early days engaging in illegal activity, to draft dodging, to being in the right place at the right time, Rick James lived a life that movies are made of. But was his troubled upbringing the reason he became a Superfreak? Did the Chappelle show do his stories justice in one of the funniest set of skits in television history? We’ll dive into the life and times of the insanely crazy story of Rick James in this episode of AHC Podcast.

Bonnie and Clyde

Sunday Dec 05, 2021
For years, Hollywood has glamorized some not-so-glamorous people. If the tale is “based on a true story” you can guarantee the real subject probably didn’t look like Johnny Depp or Tom Cruise. The same goes for one infamous duo, the first true ride or die couple, Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow terrorized police and the public for a couple years during a crime spree that would go on to become one of pop culture’s biggest references. But, between some self-mutilation, prison rape, car wrecks, and gonorrhea, the duo’s journey wasn’t as Hollywood as it’s been made out to be. But what drove them to a life of crime? Were they really both the cold-blooded, outlaw killers they’ve been made out to be? We’ll dive into these questions and more in this episode of AHC Podcast.
