Inside The Michael Jackson Vault w/ Radio Host Jermaine D'Vauz

Send us Fan Mail **Michael Jackson** fans love the hits, but the **real chills come from the moments you were never supposed to hear:** the studio talk, the rough takes, the melodies before the lyrics, the heartbeat inside the demos. After I stumbled onto Australian Radio Host Jermaine D'Vauz on Instagram, I had to bring him on to **play rare Michael Jackson recordings** and tell the stories around them. What starts as pure music nostalgia turns into a surprisingly human conversation about craft, pressure, and why certain songs still feel like a spiritual experience. We dig into **Michael’s perfectionism** and what that can cost, especially around the **This Is It** era, anxiety, and exhaustion. We also zoom back to **Thriller** history, including how close the album came to not being released, and why a track like **“Human Nature”** can suddenly surge again when culture gives it a new doorway. If you’ve ever wondered how legacy music keeps reinventing itself for kids who weren’t even born for it, you’ll hear it here in real time. Then we go deeper: the complicated **ethics of unreleased material**, what the estate might actually be optimizing for, and how the ***Michael Jackson biopic*** is shaping the “myth” versus the person. Jermaine also shares his bigger goal with radio and podcasting: **bringing joy, humanity, and inner-child curiosity back into the things we love,** while the future of audio keeps blending into one personality-driven ecosystem. If this conversation hits you, subscribe, share it with a fellow MJ fan, and leave a review so more listeners can find it.
