  • Résumé

  • More than a decade since Michael Jackson’s death, his legacy remains complicated and unresolved. Think Twice: Michael Jackson is an exploration of the King of Pop’s life and impact – and an investigation into why his global influence continues to endure, despite the disturbing allegations against him. In this ten-part series, journalists Leon Neyfakh and Jay Smooth bring you a new perspective on the Michael Jackson story, based on dozens of original interviews with people who watched it unfold from up close.

    Episodes of Think Twice: Michael Jackson contain explicit descriptions of child sexual abuse and may be triggering. Listener discretion is advised.

Kept me Engage the Entire Time

I listened to this during a long drive. It kept me engaged the entire time and my drive was that much more enjoyable. They did a really good job at organizing his life while explaining how much influence he had on the media and the public during his life time and even know. I think if today his charges/accusations were brought forward his history would be entirely different. He does still stand as a musical genius and that is not to be distributed. Yet he had such a traumatic ubringing that in the end destroyed him even more along with the lives of many others.
