I'm Penelope Spheras, on the host of a new podcast about the life and death of Peter Ivers.

Peter was the host of a TV show featuring prominent LA punk bands until he was murdered in 1983.

Forty years later, we dive into that music scene and the mystery of his passing.

Listen to Peter and the Acid King on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

You're going to die.

I guess I should have softened that a little.

Someday, you're going to die.

I'm Kyle McMahon.

And after my mom passed away, I went on a journey to talk with the world's foremost experts on death and grief

for my new series, Death, grief, and other sh- we don't discuss.

From conducting a say-outs to talking with near-death experiences and everything in between,

I hope you'll join me on that journey.

And you should probably do it soon because who knows how long you're going to be around.

Death, grief, and other sh- we don't discuss.
