Summary

Heracles is at it again! We return to this "hero" after he's "purified" himself from the murder of his wife and children... So obviously he's looking to get married again! For past episodes on ol' Herc, check out this Spotify playlist. Submit your questions or comments about Atlantis or the Deconstructing Atlantis series here.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

0:00.0	I'm Penelope Spheras. I'm a film director. I want to tell you a story about a friend of mine.
0:16.3	Back in the 70s, Peter Ivers moved to LA to start his music career. He scored Ron Howard's
0:22.0	directorial debut. I didn't know one thing about Peter Ivers. I just said, okay. Let's
0:28.6	meet him. And even hosted LA Night Cable TV show. It showcased LA punk bands in all their
0:36.1	glory. The crowd started getting bigger and bigger and then there was Beverly Danzelope.
0:41.1	There was John Balucci. But then it all went to hell.
0:46.3	Peter Ivers was murdered on March 3rd, 1983. And it raised a question that 40 years later,
0:56.6	we still don't know the answer to. Who killed Peter Ivers? Listen to Peter and the

1:10.5	I'm Paul Mulden, a poet who over the past several years had the good fortune to spend
1:21.9	time with one of the world's greatest songwriters, Sir Paul McCartney. We talked through more

1:35.3	I mean, the fact that I dreamed the song yesterday leads me to believe that it's not just
1:43.4	quite as cut and dried as we think it is. And now you can listen to our conversations
1:49.9	in our new podcast McCartney, a Life in lyrics.
1:54.1	It was like going back to an old snapshot album looking back on work. I hadn't thought
2:00.4	much about for quite a few years. Listen to McCartney, a Life in lyrics on the iHeart
