I am trying to fetch dashboards in my Superset but I face the following error:
ERROR:root:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 106 (char 105)
The above error is while I tail the pod.
On front-end, I only see: An error occurred while fetching dashboards.
The complete stacktrace is:

I tried to take a look at the dashboards table in my DB but could not find any irregularity.
I tried to load the dashboards page(/dashboard/list/) and got the same JSON error as above.
In my db, I tried to mark all dashboards as false under the published column, even the error didn't go away.
Seems like the json_metadata column is broken in either 1 or all of the rows in the dashboards table. I would try to get to the bottom of why it's failing (looks like it's this line). You could try to run a development version of superset against the db and add some logging around where it's failing. You could also try inspecting the json_metadata column in that table (try feeding it to a the python json parser) and see if you can identify the issue causing the json.loads function to fail.
