Long and repetitive

““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 clips resurfacing repeatedly across episodes. By the end I was practically anticipating when each recycled clip would appear again (yes we know Michael snaps his fingers when he records, 5x of hearing this really drove the point home).
On a technical level, the podcast shines. The production quality is excellent, with clear audio, well-timed transitions, and a polished selection of stock sound effects that lend it a professional touch. However, the credibility of the podcast suffers due to titles like “research partner” and “investigative journalist” being assigned to individuals who sound more like superfans than objective contributors. Too often, we’re given anecdotes – like Damien’s first time hearing the track – that feel irrelevant next to insights from collaborators who actually worked with Michael. These tangents feel out of place and diminish the show’s investigative tone.
Overall, what could have been a tight, insightful production was weakened by these issues. There are some genuinely intriguing bits of new information, but they’re stretched thin over too many episodes. A 5-episode series would likely have delivered a more focused and engaging experience, instead of the diluted 13-episode version we got.”

“I've been following and researching the Cascio Tracks controversy since late 2010 and, this is the most informative podcast I've come across, by far. Highly recommended!”Read full review »
