Description
This week on Podcast Playlist, we’re listening to true crime.  During the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial, there was a huge amount of online hate directed towards Amber. But what if that was all part of an organized campaign? We’ll find out on Who Trolled Amber.  Plus, even if you’ve never heard of Peter Ivers, you’ve probably heard some of his music without realizing it. He was murdered in 1983, and the case was never solved. Now, a new podcast called Peter And The Acid King is trying to get to the bottom of it. It’s hosted by Penelope Spheeris, a friend of Peter’s and the director of Wayne’s World. Leah will sit down with Penelope to talk about the show, and Peter’s legacy.  All that and more, this week on Podcast Playlist.  Featuring: Peter And The Acid King, Stolen, White Lies, Who Trolled Amber, Ghost In The Machine For links and more info head to cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.
