““Faking Michael” had potential but ultimately suffers from serious pacing and content issues. At 13 hour-long episodes, the series feels overly stretched, and it becomes apparent there wasn’t enough organic content to support that length. The result is a repetitive experience, with the same audio...”Read full review »

“Wow! What a journey and an outstanding job from Damien Shields and his research team! They cover all sides of the story, giving every party’s opportunity to tell their side of the story (& multiple opportunities for the more “stubborn” people involved) of the world’s biggest music fraud....”Read full review »

“When “Breaking News” dropped, I was a relatively new fan as I started following MJ in 2007. His death was (and tbh, continues to be) devastating to me, so I was really looking forward to the unreleased music and did not believe the rumours that these tracks were fake. Well, just like many fans in...”Read full review »

“Only a little more than halfway through and have learned so much about how these fake songs ended up on the Michael album. As a fan I KNEW from the first time hearing the songs that the vocals weren’t MJ and just couldn’t understand how this could possibly happen. Looking forward to hearing the...”Read full review »

“The podcast itself jumps around quite a lot which makes it difficult to follow exactly what’s being talked about at times and it also repeats a lot of things/facts that don’t really need to be repeated but other then that, it’s really interesting and I like how they back up everything talked...”Read full review »

“This is not a fan podcast. This is an important true crime podcast that seeks to bring to light something almost unbelievable. Of course the media is snoozing on this. Facts are presented in a methodical and interesting way. You get a clear picture to this fraud and its implications. Everyone...”Read full review »

“Have been a long term fan since the start of the 90’s. After Michael’s passing I kind of checked out from that world and remember the count down to the “Michael” album being released. But personally not really wanting it as it wasn’t something Michael himself was putting out.
So this amazingly...”Read full review »

“So glad someone had thoroughly investigated this, after my being 100% sure the vocals were not all Michael Jackson’s and them eventually being removed without fanfare! This should be as big a news story as Milli Vanilli not singing their songs but most people haven’t heard of it. It’s shocking...”Read full review »

A lot of episodes will feature the narrator recap something spoken about prior, but will then follow...”Read full review »
