well produced yet poorly researched, and riddled with confirmation bias
As a csa victim myself and not a michael jackson fan, I was spending lots of time on researching these allegations and digging into tons of evidence. Based on my knowledge this podcast is very misleading and disappointing. Tell half of the truth is almost like telling a lie.
Great podcast, sad story. MJ groomed the world.
Thank you for the information on MJs life. I knew of his music, the accusations and the genius. But I didn’t know the man. Even though I feel bad for the boys he hurt, I feel sad for him too now. And very good narration.
Sounds many people, including myself, listen to podcasts with headphones while we are doing things. Washing dishes, exercising, etc. The volume on the adds is so much louder than the show that it hurts my ears. I can’t lower the volume when I have a dumbbell in each hand, or they are immersed in soapy water. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!!
