Jonny’s Dead Air dives deep into the seldom told, the eerie, and the forgotten corners of music history. Hosted by radio veteran Jonny Hartwell, each episode blends storytelling, mystery, and a touch of rock ’n’ roll grit to resurrect stories that deserve another listen. From bands that should’ve been legends to the backstage scandals, strange coincidences, and tragic twists the industry tried to bury, Jonny peels back the layers to reveal the raw, human truths behind the music. It’s part history lesson, part cautionary tale, and all killer—no filler.

Script #16.5 PAUL IS DEAD - A BBC Investigation (SPOOF)

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 08:37

It began as a whisper: Paul is dead.

But the deeper investigators dug, the clearer it became… they’d been listening to the wrong word.
This is the lost BBC report that uncovers the real story — Paul is Fred.

A haunting, hilarious mockumentary full of suspicious accents, unhelpful witnesses, and an unstoppable married couple who somehow saw everything.

The mystery that fooled a generation… and a parody that’ll fool you twice.

(A 100% spoof episode of Jonny’s Dead Air Podcast — listener discretion and a sense of humor advised.)

Script #16 The Mad Man of Macon and the Crown Prince of Soul

Tuesday, October 28, 2025 • Duration 24:54

He was a voice that could move mountains — raw, sacred, and unstoppable.
A preacher’s son with a sound that carried the weight of every hymn and heartbreak in America.
Just as the world began to listen, fate silenced him in a storm over the Midwest.
But one unfinished song would rise from the wreckage to define him forever.This is the story of a man who gave everything to his music…and left behind a melody the world still hums without knowing why.
