Racket

273

Racket: Inside the Gold Club, gives you unprecedented access to the notorious Atlanta strip club, known in its heyday as a bacchanal to the biggest names in sports and entertainment. But in 1999, the debauchery came crashing down after the club was raided by the FBI and slammed with a daunting racketeering indictment. Racket takes you on a salacious, character-driven romp to find out what took the Gold Club from champagne rooms to the courtroom.

    Story šŸ‘ Vocal Fry šŸ‘Ž
    Curiosity pulled me in since I was a valet at The Gold Club for one Summer. Story was great for me, but the storytellerā€™s vocal fry made incredibly hard to stomach. If I didnā€™t have a background to The Gold Club I would have turned off due to the vocal frrrrryyyyy.

    Engrossing
    I loved listening to the rise and fall of such a pop culture icon from the 90ā€™s!

    so good
    great storytelling - and a fascinating tale with an extra smooth soundtrack title track to boot šŸ‘Œ

    Great pod
    Must listen for Atlanta natives, and anyone interested in mafia true crime. Pacing is great, story is interesting, and well produced. Loved the bit about how Atlanta ended with full nude strip clubs in the first place. Itā€™s very fitting for this city. I listened to all 8 episodes in less than 24 hours, and I rarely consume pods like that. Highly recommended.

    Kudos to quality.
    Really enjoyed it. Not a church goer but loved the end. Really poetic journalism. Kudos.

    Fascinating story
    Interesting story. Exciting. Storytelling was Needlessly raunchy at times.

    Intriguing podcast
    Is dope
  • Jjtterbug
    Where is!?
    Episode eight? Who got charged who went to jail how did the trial end. Man what a waste of time this podcast was.The reader of the show was very nasally and talk like she was a Californian from SNL skit. The only thing I liked about this podcast was the theme song it was very catchy.

    Voice
    Sorry her voice makes this impossible to listen to. And itā€™s not that itā€™s a woman. This particular voice doesnā€™t do anything for this subject matter
  • PW from GR
    Meh
    Got tired of the story by the fourth episode
  • 123old50
    Why the background?
    Interesting but stop the sounds effects...very annoying!!
  • holli-jackson
    Background sound
    Love the show and story but background sounds are terrible. The hum is so distracting. My dad listens with me and has hearing aids and the him is all he hears.

    Stop with the music!
    The show is great but the music and sound effects are ruining it. This last episode was unbearable and I had to stop listening.
  • thatgirlduh
    Omg great until today
    What the hell was that monotone ringing in the background. I legit couldnā€™t listen. Please stop with the sounds effects. Itā€™s taking away from everything and legitimately making it impossible to listen.

    Started out Well...

  • Andy Shrew
    A Really Unique Series
    Iā€™ve listened to plenty of Podcasts over time, but this is one of the few I truly get excited for every week. Definitely not for everybody, but the story is so intricate, but the Narrator does a great job!

    Incredible Podcast
    I live right outside metro ATL. The gold club was mythical in its hay day! The only Atlanta crime story any more legendary in my lifetime has been BMF! This podcast is extremely well done and great!

    Very interesting
  • MissusRAB
    Good but...
    Only thing are the sound effects! Abrasive or just down right annoying.
  • Goinpostalonu
    Enjoyed it until episode 3
    This is going to be stupid to some people and Iā€™ve enjoyed it up until this point but episode 3 (Dirty Money) rubbed me the wrong way..Iā€™m only 9 minutes in but her saying Tony Sopranos commutes from his home in Jersey to New York because the mob primarily runs out of New York was just so wrong..heā€™s in Jersey..heā€™s head of the jersey family..where you got that he commuted to New York because thatā€™s where the mob primarily is is beyond me..I get it, itā€™s only a tv show and irrelevant but if youā€™re going to use that as a reference then do your homework better

    Great podcast
    But whoever is doing the score and adding that high pitched whale scream, needs to be fired. Thoroughly annoying
  • pw122456

  • writerbabe14
    The best fact Iā€™ve ever learned
    This podcast is great, super interesting story told very well with real interviews strategically placed. Also, learned the best fact Iā€™ve ever learned. That Hair the musical led to full nudity in Georgia strip club šŸ¤Æ LOVE

    Love the show!

    Nix the Background Music
    Love the manner in which this story is told. Great interviews. Darkly comedic. But the music is horrible. Annoyingly so. Iā€™ll keep listening while suffering through this distraction.
  • ShellyShellz99
    Instant attention grabber
