  3. Michael Jackson Part 1

    Michael Jackson Part 1

    What better time to talk about Michael Jackson than right now? With the new biopic and the "Michael" buzz it was the only logical choice. This podcast will touch on everything in the "Michael" movie, answer some questions, and fill in story gaps. A musical artist with a career this size can't be squished into one episode. So, this will be Part 1, from the beginning of Michael Jacksons life till the release of the album "Bad". Thank you for taking time out of your day to listen to Notes and Nostalgia.
