Investigating Michael Jackson

Documentary maker Dan Reed returns with Leaving Neverland 2: Surviving Michael Jackson, following Wade Robson and James Safechuck as they continue their legal fight against Jackson’s estate. Reed discusses how he got the film over the line and the ongoing backlash from Jackson’s supporters.

Also on the show, the Trump administration has cut funding to US state-backed broadcasters, affecting Voice of America, Radio Free Europe, and Radio Free Asia. Bay Fang, president of Radio Free Asia, responds to the impact of these cuts, while Jennifer Grygiel, associate professor at Syracuse University, examines the broader implications for press freedom. Richard Spencer, China correspondent at The Times, considers how rival state-backed media may capitalise on the shift.
