Now he makes a six figure salary and produces 6 podcasts that get tens of thousands of downloads per month.Steve Ahern spoke to Jack at the opening party for the new Acast Sydney studio last week.“I spent 15 years in radio. I started at SEAFM on the Gold Coast, I worked in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne. I worked on the Hughesy and Kate Drive show for 5 years. I spent a long time in radio, 15 years of my life. I was made redundant in Adelaide in 2016. So I ran around the traps… my last stint was at Today FM breakfast working on the Hughesy Ed and Erin show as their anchor.Jack started with one podcast and has now developed a suite of offerings, mostly in the crime genre. How does it feel?“Amazing! For me, it's about working for myself and the freedom that comes with that. The freedom to be able to tell the stories that I want to tell.“You know, I spent my radio career, always asking permission…and, you know, you have limitations, of course, with radio, versus podcasting. You don't have limitations [with podcasting].“I wanted to interview people with insane life stories. So I started the podcast where I speak to prisoners who are incarcerated in the United States… So it's freedom for me to tell the stories I want to tell, the content that I want to produce. And freedom to be able to do things with my family, like pick up my kids from school or go and see them doing stuff and not have to go to a content director can I have the afternoon off."
