  • The missing pieces of the puzzle

    I've been following and researching the Cascio Tracks controversy since late 2010 and, this is the most informative podcast I've come across, by far. Highly recommended!

  • Very important and very excellent work

    A very compelling and in depth examination of an attempt to defraud the entire global music audience. Extremely high production values. As shocking as it is exciting.

  • This will be great.

    I don’t know what all is involved with getting this out there but when it comes out it will be very interesting. I’m guessing there are some legal things that have to be covered before it can be released. It’s time fans learn everything that led to the fiasco that was the Cascio tracks being released on the Michael album.

    EDIT: It’s finally out and loving it so far!!
