Of course, these results are purely my opinion, and I welcome your thoug... more

Thankyou for a true gem of a podcast. I really appreciate your vibe and honesty. The episodes present a great balance between the technical and human side of your experience in the MJ-world. I've learned a lot (especially regarding Quincy and Bruce S. topics + various recording sessions) ..and been equally encouraged to keep going, and do the best I can do in my life's journey. Again thankyou, I'm really happy for all you've accomplished, in all aspects of your life. Hope this podcast will last ... more
Having the opportunity to listen to stories from someone who got to work closely with Michael Jackson over many years is a blessing.
As an MJ fan who got to experience the in magic person, it sometimes feels like it all happened in another life time. Brad Sundberg offers a reminder that not only did the man exist but how the incredible music that became part of my life’s soundtrack was created.
I couldn’t recommend this podcast more.
Brad Sundberg is a great story teller. He has depth and true knowledge about Michael’s talent , personality and his artistic vision. He is able to share insights and true events behind songs and other amazing talented individuals working with MJ. I am a huge fan of Brad and highly recommend this podcast.
Very informative, fun and meaningful content. Great for any music lover or artist.
I’m not sure why but I can’t hear it very well. It might just be that brad has low tone of voice. I love the stories of Michael of course and pretty much only. But with Apple war pods turned up max can’t be doing anything without just concentrating on only listening to podcast. Thank you for making it.
