Episode 1: Is This Scary?

De: Leon Neyfakh

Narrado por: Leon Neyfakh, Jay Smooth

It’s 1993 and Michael Jackson is on top of the world: receiving lifetime achievement awards, appearing at Bill Clinton’s inaugural gala, performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. More popular and powerful than he’s ever been, he uses that caché to create a music video that stands among his most personal and prescient works. Then everything falls apart.

Super recommend

Great story telling and great journalism, both nuanced and critical of Michael Jackson, I’m always a fan of Leon’s stuff

Thorough, engaging storytelling

I thought I knew the minor stories about Jackson’s life, but I did NOT. Thoroughly investigated series - I hope Jay Smooth gets to do more.

Bored Men w very amateur skills

Sources for this are tabloid investigators. Story telling is manipulative and biased. What a waste of time. Shame on you.

Completely BIASED

Complete nonsense what a waste of 15 minutes of my life. I could handle an open discussion but this was just biased garbage. Don’t waste your time.

Deathly boring

Without any new insight, this podcast rehashes well-worn fields in a boring, banal serialized form.
