Reckoning With Michael Jackson
Wesley Morris, New York Times critic-at-large and co-host of the “Still Processing” podcast, grew up a die-hard Michael Jackson fan. He describes his reaction to watching the new HBO documentary which details allegations of child sexual abuse against the King of Pop, and takes listener calls.
"You realize Michael Jackson is not this child in the way that we like to think of him as being, he is a fully sentient adult who makes choices," says @Wesley_Morris of HBO's "Leaving Neverland" documentary.

"I had been sitting with these stories about Michael Jackson and children for almost as long as I was aware that there was a Michael Jackson.... Now begins the process of trying to figure out what to do with this information," says @Wesley_Morris.
