One of the most popular ongoing segments in Dean Haglund and Phil Leirness’ long-running, weekly “Chillpak Hollywood Hour” has always been when they celebrate the lives and legacies of those who made indelible marks in the arts or in media. Some listeners have even let us know they would gladly listen to whole shows about celebrity deaths. Now, thanks to Chillpak Hollywood Presents …, those listeners have their chance!
