Awarding winning, gold standard audio drama?

That’s every day for Jack. At every level.

He has been called “the Steven Speilberg of audio” (2011). The “Danny Boyle of audio genre hopping creativity” (2020). An “Edgar Wright-like visionary for audio fiction” (2022).

If you are a high-level studio, thriving production company or individual starting out, looking for serious expertise and creative vision to bring onboard a producer who understands the medium and executes any IP to the highest possible standards, makes your audio fiction content stand out and offers you potential routes to monetising it, then Jack is THE producer you should speak to.

Jack works as a Freelance Audio Creative across the UK and develops projects for global audio platforms. He has a keen interest in genre-based audio drama and digital podcast story-telling, specifically Science Fiction, Fantasy, Comedy and Horror. He lives near Elstree Studios, feeling the spirit of John Steed, Jim Henson, Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones and Alfred Hitchcock everyday he walks the streets.

He has served as the Associate Director of LOST Theatre, directing notable in-house productions such as JERUSALEM and LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2014 - 2016), in parallel as a Senior Producer and Kids Producer for The Wireless Theatre Company (2009-2014), before the company’s transformation into Wireless Theatre Ltd. 

There, he worked as a Senior Producer, primarily as the Creator and Co-Producer of THE SPRINGHEEL SAGA and was Acting Head of Production during 2015 and 2017-2018 respectively. During this period, he also produced leading Audible UK tentpoles like MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, ARABIAN NIGHTS, THE SOUL-BREAKER and THE DARKWATER BRIDE. He left Wireless Theatre Ltd in September 2018 to undertake a new role, working with DAGAZ MEDIA LLC to explore joint US-UK audio drama opportunities in the podcast space and beyond.

Their first project together saw Jack co-script and co-create the pilot for a new dystopia series, ULTIMATE SOLUTION, with Fred Greenhalgh, which won him the opportunity to co-script EXPEDITIONARY FORCE: HOMEFRONT. Based on the award-nominated book series, Jack worked with its creator, author CRAIG ALANSON and PODIUM PUBLISHING, to craft HOMEFRONT for release on AUDIBLE June 2019. It became a NY Times bestseller. Additionally, ULTIMATE SOLUTION, recorded and produced first was released second, in late July 2019 via Drabblecast. 

July 2019 also saw Jack have the good fortune to join BBC Studios, London, as an Audio/Podcast Producer, to work with modernising the Radio Comedy Department and look at podcast opportunities for the UK’s leading radio production unit. It also fulfilled a lifelong dream to work with the BBC, and after assisting BBC Studios Business and BBC Studios Digital, Jack completed his work for the newly rebranded BBC Studios Audio department in March 2020.

During the Pandemic, Jack worked with or assisted a variety of production companies or studios globally as an audio drama producer, exec producer or consultant, and established his AudioMarvels® brand. 

Under this new banner, dedicated to quality over quantity, Jack produced the acclaimed, award-winning CIRCLES, the World War II audio movie thriller UNSINKABLE, starring Thomas Brodie Sangster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Brian Cox and John Malkovich, with Datura Studios and North Atlantic Ridge's and B7 Media. This was followed by the enhanced audiobook BRIGHTON’S KNOCKERS. Jack then, through AudioMarvels®, commissioned a new audio movie version of LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT, based on the “Holy Grail” of lost Hollywood Silent Movie classics, starring Art Malik, as a full cast Dolby Atmos production.

Additional AudioMarvels® titles in development include a sci-fi chiller mini-series, A TOWN CALLED AMBER LYNN, a ripping Spy-Fi thriller returner, THE ASTONISHERS, and an audio adaptation of Mike Grell’s classic comic book, SHAMAN’S TEARS, to be co-produced with Pocket Universe Productions.

Outside of AudioMarvels®, between 2021-2022 Jack also directed and produced SMILE, IT'LL BE OVER SOON for Harpy Productions, based on the Creepypasta legend Laughing Jack, the multi-lingual Violet Hour Media horror thriller, LONG NIGHT IN EGYPT, produced an audio adaptation of Stefan Zweig’s THE WORLD OF YESTERDAY, and lead studio produced two podcast series for Moonbug Entertainment, based on LITTLE BABY BUM and LELLOBEE CITY FARM.

In 2023 alone, he produced a historical drama adaptation of MRS DALLOWAY and two audio pilots. The first was BIN JUICE, a UK audio comedy in Dolby Atmos, and exec produced TWILIGHT MERIDIAN, a US fantasy noir for Wrong Dimension.

By the end of 2023, Season 2 of both LELLOBEE CITY FARM and LITTLE BABY BUM will launch on Audible.
