  • Summary

  • Michael Jackson’s childhood, or lack thereof, is cited constantly in the conversation around his relationships with children. In this episode, we go back to Michael’s earliest days in Gary, Indiana, where he grows up under the domineering hand of his father while he and his brothers take the local music scene by storm in search of a better life.

Great discussion via history

Worth your time; excellent discussion about coming to terms — appreciating one of the most talented musical artists of all time but recognizing all people are complex and have good and bad in them.

Insightful and thought provoking

Listening to these episodes brings me back to my childhood and the days of tracking MJ’s career. I appreciate the non bias reporting and questions that truly making you think twice about this time and everyone who was impacted or harmed during it.

Quite compelling!
