For the first time in Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar history, we welcomed another Jake who has a phenomenal take. It is a pleasure to welcome author, musician, and podcast host Jake Fraczek to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.
Jake was born in Massachusetts but grew up on the Island of Nevis and Saint Kitts in the West; back to Boston for school and spent time there growing up. He grew up painting, drawing, surfing, and skateboarding.
Jake Fraczek also goes by the moniker “Jake The Snake” (which eventually became “J the S” for short), which was his childhood nickname that followed him into his independent music career as a hip hop artist and his band, Blue Gold, who traveled the country playing shows and releasing several projects.
The current Los Angeles resident was the former co-host on Dash Radio’s Reigning Real and currently hosts the Damaged Goods Podcast. Recently, he released his latest book: The Waiting Room. The Waiting Room is a collection of essays that is a follow-up to his first book: Quicksand. Both books are autobiographical and grounded in the backstory of heartache, ego, and now in The Waiting Room, the painful loss of his father.
In this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Jake Fraczek spoke about The Damaged Goods Podcast’s origin story and previewed his new book.
