My buddy Jared Bradshaw and I saw an early access screening together and immediately went to my podcast room to record our initial thoughts, we had a lot to discuss! I hope you'll enjoy our conversation and let us know your thoughts as well. Enjoy!

On March 28th I returned to The Hit Factory to host an ITSWMJ event with my good friend Tony Black. Walking through those doors brought back so many memories from 1994 when I was working on the HIStory album. For this episode I wanted to share a few of those insights and memories that came flooding back. I hope you'll enjoy returning to The Hit Factory with me!

I wanted to share a couple stories from many years ago when I first joined Michael's studio team. One of my first challenges was handling the playback of the "Bad" album for the Epic Record's execs pre-release. A lot of suits, a lot of shrimp cocktails, and a thunderous playback party at the Beverly Hills Hotel!

Then I talk about the time during that same era when Michael commissioned me to install a playback system for his dance floor at Hayvenhurst - the first system I ever built for Michael! Finally we'll chat about upcoming events and destinations. Enjoy!

The tracklist for the "Michael" movie was released, so for this week's episode I'll go track by track and share my thoughts and specific memories from the songs listed.

Overall I think it is a great selection of songs and I can't wait to see how they will play out in the film. Let me know your thoughts on the tracklist and if you've gotten your movie tickets yet in the comments below!

What a week it's been. From significant losses in the MJ community to a last minute reunion with an old friend. I hope you'll join us as I share some memories about Bea Swedien, Bruce's loving wife and wonderful friend to me and Deb, and the incredible Tom Bahler. You may not know Tom by name but you absolutely know some of his songs and arrangements.

Lastly I got to reconnect with the uber-talented and musical powerhouse Teddy Riley. I haven't seen Teddy since likely 1993 and it was great to catch up with him after so many years. Teddy lights up any room he walks into and seeing him again was a bright light in an otherwise tough week.

Tributes are never easy, but I hope you enjoy listening to a few stories about some good friends of mine.

My good friend Chris Lacy was in town so I thought it would be fun to go to The Magic Kingdom and let Chris ask me any questions he wants!

Join us as we explore the park and we discuss everything from the Michael biopic, to recent song leaks, and of course memories from my many years in the studio.

The Vinyl Battle continues, this time with a bit of science and a couple unexpected twists! I hope you will enjoy my comparison of "Man in the Mirror" from the original Bad vinyl, the 1987 Mexico Bad vinyl, the Bad picture disc, and the original HIStory vinyl. I hope you'll enjoy, and share your thoughts below on what you think the best version is!

Our first Vinyl Battle! A mostly unscientific comparison of one song from the original Bad album, the HIStory album, and the Michael Jackson Ones album! Welcome To The Jungle - I mean Studio!
