A writer, musician, visual artist, graphic designer and now podcaster, Jakob has been called a renaissance man by several people. He’s been given several less generous monikers by considerably more people.
His entrance into the universe of audio shows was on the radio program Pins of Light on CHLY 101.7fm (Nanaimo, BC) where he was a regular co-host. Later his P-Reviews podcasts (still available on the Ampersand Publishing feed) were created for the show Enthusiasm Radio on the same station.

He was lucky enough to find Mandi who he tricked into being his secret-weapon co-host on a series of podcasts which eventually became Nerd Hurdles.
