This podcast contains discussions of sensitive topics...Listener discretion is strongly advised. While the stories you’ll hear are rooted in real events, not every detail is strictly historical—some moments are dramatized with creative license to bring the narrative to life. Please keep this in mind as you listen.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bridges gleam. The rivers hum. In a city of steel and a bright blue slide, a teenager builds a universe from basement beats and borrowed time—a slide you think goes on forever, until it doesn’t. Fame arrives like a flood: fun, then fast, then frightening. Friends, tours, headlines; the grin that says “I’m good,” even when he isn’t. This is the rise, the rush, and the after—the sound that shook a city, and the quiet that followed.Written by Jonny HartwellVoiced by Jonny HartwellMusic Credit: Reel World Audio.A iHeart Radio ProductionJonny’s Dead Air PodcastWritten, hosted, and produced by Jonny Hartwell.A production of iHeartRadio Pittsburgh.Thanks for listening—and for keeping the light on.
