Joanne McNally Investigates launches today on BBC Sounds
Avril Lavigne was a punk pop sensation who topped the charts in the early noughties, and she still performs to sold-out crowds today. But what if the Avril we’ve been following all these years is not the same Avril we fell in love with? What if – as a curious theory claims – Avril was replaced by a look-alike at the height of her fame? In Who Replaced Avril Lavigne, Joanne McNally searches far and wide – from Avril’s hometown to the underbelly of the internet – to find out if the rumours are true. Along the way, she immerses herself in a mind-bending world of fake celebrity deaths, doppelgangers, conspiracy theories, and downright absurdity.
Who Replaced Avril Lavigne? Joanne McNally Investigates is produced by What’s The Story Sounds for BBC Sounds and CBC Podcasts.
