Known as "Mr. Showman" for his over-the-top performances and stage shows, Liberace was more than a spectacle to partake. His shiny suits, rhinestone studded pianos, and his elaborate stage set-ups were hardly the tip of the ice burg when it came to "The Wealthiest Entertainer" of the 50s through the 80s. Inspiring some of the greatest musical acts of the 20th and 21st centuries including Sir Elton John and Lady Gaga, his fame and fortune came at a high cost and allowed him one of the strangest lifestyles you'll ever hear of. Shrouded in secrecy and lies, his life was cut short by AIDS... but his family and manager would have had you believe otherwise. Listen as Robert and Jake take you on a truly bizarre journey as they uncover some of the craziest things they've ever covered on the podcast. This week, it's all about Liberace.
