In honor of the 30th anniversary of HIStory: Past, Present and Future, Book I, we're diving deep into Michael Jackson’s most personal and politically charged album. Joined by writer Chris Lacy, we reflect on the album’s legacy, chart-topping success, and powerful themes—from social justice and media scrutiny to pain, perseverance, and purpose. Together, we explore why HIStory still resonates today and why the Estate’s silence around this milestone feels especially significant.

Chris opens up about his creative process behind his article, what inspired it, and more, including fan favorite tracks “Tabloid Junkie,” “Smile,” and "Stranger in Moscow".

ALSO- The Michael Jackson biopic, originally set to release in 2025, has reportedly been delayed until next year, this episode, we react to the latest update about the Michael film starring Jaafar Jackson and directed by Antoine Fuqua. What do you think is really going on with Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic? Do you think the delay is because of the reshoots... or is the project going to be delayed to be SPLIT into two films?
