Episode 10 – Connoisseurship

Faking Michael

A connoisseur is someone with expertise in a particular subject, especially an area of art. In this episode we recap the most important testimony we’ve heard from connoisseurs of Michael Jackson’s music, while diving further even down the rabbit hole of expert opinion regarding the vocals on the Cascio tracks. Meanwhile, my research team and I give Eddie Cascio, Jason Malachi and others several opportunities to tell their side of the story.
