The Story Behind an Enigmatic Person and His Tragic Death

“An eye-open tale of an one of kind personality who helped open my eyes and ears. I remember discovering both ‘Night Flight’ and ‘New Wave Theater’ as a tween at the time and wallowing in the creative mess that these shows had at a time when you had to really dig to find the off-the-beaten path culture that wasn’t on the radio and daring to embrace it.
I was slowly discovering punk music and culture and these oases to a fairly raw recruit were rays of lights in the mostly dull cultural glare of the early 1980’s. You either conformed or took on the risk of swimming against the tide, with constant risk ridicule and sometimes physical peril.
Peter Ivers with ‘New Wave Theater’ was like a kooky uncle who you didn’t quite know what to make of, but we’re glad to have that weekly visit via the gotta-turn-in-or-record-it-or-miss-it analog days. I didn’t like all the music I heard, but I loved the attitude and fearlessness hosted by a clearly unique individual. I loved his monologues even if I could only grasp small crumbs.
While later I found my cultural path more clearly in the years that followed, I wondered what happened to that odd man. I don’t remember when I first heard that he was murdered, the fact that his cruel death has never been solved did and didn’t surprise me. I’m so happy to hear this podcast - hosted by another legend, Penelope Spheeris.
I’m a firm believer in getting those unknown people who have fallen between the cracks and whose influence is either hidden or unrecognized their due.
Thanks for the podcast!”

“I can't get enough of Peter and the acid King, not just a compelling true crime stories, but a vivid insight into the full spectrum of communities and scenes of LA during late 70's and early 80's. Keep up the good work, can't wait for the next episode”Read full review »
