If you want to listen to all of the episodes of this series right now, early release and ad-free,

plus a whole host of extra fan club benefits, head to Museum of Pop Culture. Supportingcast.com.

Or if that's too much of a mouthful, just click on it in the show notes, which is the description

bit that no one reads.

Hello and welcome. I am Josh Whittickham. For today I am the curator of a place of incredible

artefacts and exhibitions, a place that stores the greatest thing on earth. This is my Museum of

Pop Culture.

As a self-confessed, pop culture obsessive, I love the geniuses, the scam artists, and dare I say,

the absolute madmen, that have made the records, shows and films that we loved.

In each series, I will tell you a story of unlikely triumph and usually an enjoyably crushing failure,

featuring celebrated stars that in any other industry would probably be politely sacked.

It's a show for people more interested in David Hasselhoff than David Lamy,

Elizabeth Taylor, than Queen Elizabeth I, which, let's be honest, is all of us.

Joining me to discuss the rise and fall of Studio 54 is comedian and friend.

You may remember him from the blobby episodes.

It's Tom Crane.

Today's story will have a very different flavor.

Ice cold Coca-Cola.

Good evening. Elvis Presley died today.

Apparently it was a heart attack.

America Los Burgess.

Thank you, America.
