Rock and Roll Heaven

Rock and Roll Heaven takes a specific angle that sets it apart: the show explores the lives, careers, and deaths of iconic musicians. Hosted by LD, TJ2, and Will The Thrill (with newer team member Thea running a recurring segment called "Not Dead Yet"), the podcast builds multi-part biographical series that really dig into individual artists. The recent seven-part Ian Curtis series and an ongoing Prince series are good examples of the depth they commit to. With 310 episodes and biweekly releases, there is a substantial archive to explore. The show covers ground beyond rock—country, blues, hip hop, and even musicals get attention—but rock and roll remains the center of gravity. Episodes typically run one to two hours, and the hosts bring a casual, conversational energy that's fueled by obvious research and genuine passion. The 4.2-star rating from 54 reviewers reflects a show that polarizes slightly—some listeners love the extended banter and personal anecdotes, while others want tighter editing. But if you appreciate thorough biographical storytelling and don't mind hosts who take their time getting to the point, Rock and Roll Heaven offers a level of detail on deceased musicians that most shows don't even attempt.
