5 Questions with SMG's Jesse Jackson

5 Questions with SMG's Jesse Jackson

Jul 09, 2025

How did you get started podcasting?   I started out as someone who sent feedback to podcasts, which I was enjoying.  Then Lou and Karen decided to do a Farscape rewatch, with a Veteran of the show (someone who's seen everything) and a rookie (someone who had never seen the show).  I liked talking to people about a project I loved and they seemed to think I was good at it.  Then Karen asked me to join her on a Castle Podcast, and I was happy to sign up.  Over the months we started doing the show, I took on more of a host role and was told I was good at it.  I was a guest on a couple of Rob's SMG podcasts and he reached out to me and asked if I wanted to host a Doctor Who Podcast, I did and I pulled my wonderful friend and passionate Doctor Who fan, Charles Skaggs along with me.  That lead to me wanting to talk about my music obsession, Bruce Springsteen and then it was over.   Set Lusting Bruce has over 1400 episodes and will celebrate it's 10th anniversary in September of 2025.

What shows were you on?  I currently host or cohost -

Perfectly Good Podcast - John HIatt from A- Z.  We are counting down every John Hiatt song in alphabetical order.

Next Stop Everywhere - The Doctor Who Podcast - over 10 years of timey wimey fun

JKL Media Reviews - Lou, Karen and I still podcast, we went through all of Babylon 5, 12 Monkeys, and other series.  We continue to cover pop culture every week.

Set Lusting Bruce - A Bruce Springsteen fan podcast - where I have had music fans from around the world join me to talk about the power and magic of music.

Small Council Matters - I'm part of this Game of Thrones Podcast, discussing House of the Dragon

Are you still podcasting?  See above! 

What are you up to now? Finding time to be a good father, good husband, a good employee and still podcast.  I've been asked to participate in the 50th anniversary symposium for Bruce's Born to Run this September.

Is there anything you want to say to your fans?  I want to hear your story.  Reach out to me at [email protected] and join me to talk music.
