Pretty Strong Podcast
Hey there! Welcome to Pretty Strong hosted by Sherri Whitley Jernigan. I’m so excited that you are joining me in this new chapter. I am a 30 year veteran educator having taught students from Pre-K to Adult. This podcast is all about celebrating the incredible strength, resilience, and creativity of women from different walks of life. We’re diving into their stories, the challenges they’ve faced, and the victories they’ve achieved in their communities and beyond. I want to share their journeys, passions, and their visions for the future. Pretty Strong is dedicated to sharing stories of the amazing women out there who’ve tackled obstacles, shattered barriers, and made a positive impact. Each woman has a unique story to tell, and I’m here to amplify those voices. We’re delving into the human side, highlighting the value, intelligence, and creativity of women. So, grab a seat and join me every week for a new episode of Pretty Strong. These stories are meant to inspire and empower you to embrace your strength and live your best life.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
