What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I thought I knew a lot about Michael Jackson, but after a few episodes of the MJCast, I found I know very little. That’s OK, because I’m grateful to learn more about the most fascinating talent this world will ever see. This show isn’t just about being obsessed but an in-depth look at the music and musician.

New MJcast fan · Jul 2026

I am absolutely addicted to this podcast after seeing the movie Michael. I have learned so much listening to this. I appreciate you keeping Michael’s memory alive and spreading truth about the greatest entertainer who has ever lived.

I cannot believe that I just discovered this podcast this year! I’ve been a longtime MJ fan and dipped out a few years back after interests shifted. Over the past 2 years, my love for MJ came back. However, it came back with a craving for deeper education and truth. This is not a podcast that will engage in the fantasy version of MJ that many fans cling to (like I did when I was younger and uneducated). The discussions are real, raw, and needed. There is still the magic woven in, but it’s still grounded in realness. As I have gotten older, I really appreciate hearing conversations about MJ like this that are rooted in reality. This is a great podcast for all, but I would say it’s a podcast for those who have reached the age of their frontal lobe fully developed. I’m only 82 episodes in, but I really appreciate Jamon and Q. I know they have since left the show, but they have been my comfort hosts as I have years of catching up to do. Thank you for this amazing content!

I’ve always found MJ fascinating and interesting and enjoyed his music but it was this podcast that really made me become more than a casual fan. This is the best source to learn about the man and the music with interviews with people who worked closely with him as well as the latest news on the Estate and family. Charles Thomson is by far my favorite person to hear, all are great but his blunt and non-sugar coated commentary is legendary.
