Despite numerous allegations of child abuse in the years before his death, Michael Jackson's songs can still get you tapping your foot. It can feel confusing, but luckily we have Leon Neyfakh on the show today to explain Jackson's confusing place in pop culture and his new Audible Originals series Think Twice: Michael Jackson. Plus, at long last, our latest installment of "Names In The News."
Produced by Joel Patterson and Corey Wara
