PUBLIC VERSION. Host and co-creator of the FAKING MICHAEL podcast series Damien Shields joins Adam, Joe, and Arwen to discuss his 14 year journey investigating "the inside story of music's greatest fraud." From an aunt mistakenly recording a Michael Jackson concert over a football game that he wanted to watch as a kid… to the moment in 2010 that he (and many other fans) first realized that three of the songs on MJ's first posthumous record "Michael" did not actually feature Michael Jackson singing on them… to his search for answers approaching various producers, collaborators, Jackson family members and powerful estate executives looking for the truth… to the decision to turn his investigation into a podcast series… to the crowd funding attempt that introduced him to a very special backer willing to contribute a major piece of forensic evidence to the project… to the interview that changed the course of the episodes he had already produced… to all that went into the technical side of producing such an impressively written, recorded and sound designed presentation… Damien explains how he went from a fan in Australia with no connections to the music industry and no formal journalism training to helping expose one of the biggest art frauds in music history through sheer determination and perseverance.
