- A bunch of complainers
These have to be the most negative and mean spirited people within the MJ fandom. They have nothing but negative things to say about his biopic. The British guy acts like he alone knows exactly how the film should have been produced and directed. And no one even gets a word in edgewise while he goes on a tirade. Just miserable and you will gain nothing from listening.

I cannot believe that I just discovered this podcast this year! I’ve been a longtime MJ fan and dipped out a few years back after interests shifted. Over the past 2 years, my love for MJ came back. However, it came back with a craving for deeper education and truth.

I have been listening for 6 years now. It has become a firm favourite. Charles Thompson in particular is very amusing and knowledgeable - I always enjoy his contributions.
The real story of Michael Jackson is woven throughout this podcast, a great listen.

Apple Podcasts4hdgshanUnited States5 months ago - An Essential Resource
I’ve listened to the MJcast for many years at this point, but I thought I’d leave a review now after hearing of Jamon’s departure.
The MJcast is an essential resource for true Michael Jackson fans. Their greatest works are their interviews with collaborators and their album roundtables, with the new Destiny roundtable being one of their best. One of my favourite interviews they have done is with the always enigmatic Bryan Loren.
My least favourite episodes are those that are filled with drasti... more
