We’re back for Season Seven of the The MJCast! In this regular episode, hosts Jamon Bull (twitter.com/jamonbull) and Elise Capron (twitter.com/elisecapron) are joined by mega-fan Rickey Alexander (twitter.com/asap__rickey), who was most recently on the podcast for the #History25 Roundtable. In this in-depth discussion to kick off 2021, the team digs into loads of news in the world of Michael Jackson, including the sale of Neverland Ranch, a new podcast by Brad Sundberg, two compelling new MJ books, fan community drama, Superbowl chat, expanded re-releases from The Jacksons, a frustrating John Branca interview, updates on the Cascio Case, and much more. The MJCast team is excited for the season to come. Thank you for joining us!
