Ep. - 1723 - GERBIL: INVESTIGATING A HOLLYWOOD RUMOR

Allen Salkin, host of the 12-part podcast Gerbil from The Hollywood Reporter, digs into the six-year investigation behind Hollywood's most unkillable urban legend. Allen walks Kate through his old-school reporting process — LexisNexis searches, FOIA requests, tracked-down eyewitnesses — and goes deep on the Philadelphia Gerbil Panic of 1985, when KYW anchor Jerry Penacoli was hit with the same rumor years before it ever attached to Richard Gere.
