Last time I saw Andy he was on stage doing back up for Cher! This guy is an absolute legend and an uncompromising artist. He's done stacks of TV and Radio but his heart lies in stand up, he's done acclaimed stand up shows worldwide and his heart lies in live performance. 

Honestly it's a little bit of shits and giggles we didn't get too serious but there is some useful chat in here about what resonates with people and the art of holding onto who you really are. 

We'd love to create an extraordinary podcast brand for you that works. Come to one of our PodcaSTAR Branding Retreats at powder snow mecca Nozawa Onsen Japan or Wallaby Ridge Hideaway Retreat in Australia or work with us online, email talent@podcastar.com.au.

If I had a dollar for every time I've heard 'I've got a great idea for a podcast' on a Sunday morning I'd be a rich woman. People typically get on the cans on a Saturday night then call me and yabber on for half an hour or so about their great idea for a podcast. I don't always answer the call because 9 times out of 10 it's not a serious proposition and they won't be producing a high value, high return podcast with my production house. 

Tune in to find out why and tune in to find out how to podcast in 2026.

Why 'I've got a great idea for a Podcast' is not the way in 2026

Jackson is an absolute dream boat. He's originally from Australia by calls LA home now. He's worked in radio in both Australia and in LA he worked with KIIS and some other networks but then swung sideways into new media. I should also mention he is an extraordinary photographer @thatisjackson on instagram and owns a fleet of boats (his partner is a hot diver who used to dive for Pearls then bought a boat, then bought a few more;) 

Jack now works with many darling celebrities of a high calibre social media in LA and he shares his love of the work here. 

Love you Jackson so much. I once bought Jackson a diamond ring because I was in love with the production work he did for me. He still wears it apparently.
