Bitter Blood: Kasem V Kasem
Gepresenteerd door Audible Originals
Radiolegende Casey Kasem werd wereldberoemd als de stem van America's Top 40 en groeide uit tot een icoon van de Amerikaanse popcultuur. Maar achter zijn succesvolle carrière ging een jarenlang familieconflict schuil dat pas tijdens zijn laatste levensdagen volledig escaleerde. Wanneer Kasem in 2014 ernstig ziek is en een vermogen van naar schatting 100 miljoen dollar achterlaat, barst een bittere strijd los tussen zijn kinderen uit zijn eerste huwelijk en zijn tweede echtgenote. Beide partijen beschuldigen elkaar van manipulatie, geldbejag en het schaden van Kasems welzijn. Bitter Blood: Kasem v. Kasem reconstrueert deze aangrijpende familieruzie aan de hand van exclusieve interviews en uniek archiefmateriaal.
