Comedy
Examine the many faces of Michael Jackson with host Brandon Ogborn. What starts as a simple question of guilt or innocence quickly turns into a searching chronicle of race, fame and abuse. Drawing on extensive interviews and relying on much-needed humor, Ogborn and co-host Omar Crook interview Jackson’s defense attorneys, the investigators and prosecutors who pursued him, and the writers and tabloid journalists who followed the cases and ferreted out leads. Through those interviews and their ruminations, Ogborn and Crook wander the hall of mirrors that was Jackson’s life, painstakingly, sometimes painfully, reconstructing the complex narrative of an iconic and troubled performer haunted by allegations of criminal perversion.

Thankful for this thought provoking and well-produced podcast. However there are only 10 episodes, and the feed is filled with “reprises” and “encores” There are also ads now, for a paid podcast, which is annoying. Anyway, I still love this podcast.

Died laughing when Yasiin emphatically stated “we are not and have never been a soundtrack to consumerism–“ *hard cut to an Amazon commercial* But FR, this is the best podcast that exists. Killer jokes and knowledge and wisdom from some of the greatest modern philosophers. Wish more people saw the world the way these 3 do. Also the strongest use of editing and production from any podcast I’ve ever heard. This is the pinnacle of what the audio medium can deliver.
Abandoned the fans, as always.
