In this episode, Jamon Bull, co-founder and co-host of The MJCast for eleven seasons, discusses his decision to step back from the show.

The show will continue on, in a slightly new form, even in light of this bittersweet news. Jamon: We love you and will miss you.

In his last regular episode, Jamon joins Elise Capron, Charles Thomson, Q, Charlie Carter, and Shawn Shackelford for a massive catch-up on all the latest news in the world of Michael Jackson and the Jackson family. They discuss Mariah Carey’s recent reveal about an unreleased duet with the King of Pop, a possible upcoming album in tribute to Michael Jackson’s Ireland sessions, legal updates around the Cascio Family and Jackson Estate, Paris Jackson’s continuing public alarm-ringing over Estate legal fees, major fan events around the US, Finds of the Week, and more.

    I have not heard the episode yet but I’m very sad to hear that Jamon Bull has decided to take a step back. He has worked hard over many years and I think he’s done an outstanding job. Jamon is a familiar voice in my household.

    Thank you to Jamon and Q for creating a podcast dedicated to honouring MJ with the respect he deserves. And thank you to all the rest who continue it. With all the great MJ stories you have captured, it makes it easier to remember MJ with a smile rather than remember the pain of his loss.

    I was keep postponing to listen the episode, because I did not want to hear Jamon saying he is leaving the show….

    Jamon, thank you for creating this podcast and for all the wonderful episodes and interviews you made along those 11 years. You must be really proud of what you did with The MJCast. I wish you and your family all the best and I hope to hear you again here.
    Many thanks as well to the rest of the team for keeping the podcast alive!
