Planet Ludwig

Musician/Singer/Songwriter MARILYN KIRBY shared the bill with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, & Ginger Baker (aka CREAM) in the sixties. Her 1983 video "Blondes (Is It True?)" is a cult favorite. And now her latest album, YEAR OF THE PHOENIX, crosses several musical genres. Marilyn joins host Steve Ludwig to talk about these things, play some of her music, and much more!

Scott Michaels is THE # 1 authority on the dark side of celebrity deaths. Scott's not interested in where celebrities lived, he's concerned with where (and HOW) they DIED. Scott is the acknowledged expert on the Charles Manson murders; he owns the wrecked car in which actress Jayne Mansfield (Law & Order's Mariska Hargitay's mom) died in a horrific crash. Scott has encountered ghosts; his museum houses the most unique (and many times sordid) pieces of Hollywood memorabilia (Mansfield's car, Mae West's false teeth, some of the cremated remains of the Addams' Family's "Pugsley" [Ken Weatherwax]...You get the idea). Scott speaks with host Steve Ludwig (of Steve Ludwig's Classic Pop Culture from PlanetLudwig.com) for a full hour! (Show # 149)
