Jesse Cox
Jesse Cox (1986–2017) was one of Australia's finest radio producers.
Jesse created a tremendous body of audio in his 31 years. A two time Third Coast/RHDF Competition winner (Best Documentary: Silver & Director’s Choice) Jesse was also the ABC Radio National Features Editor, executive producer of the award-winning Trace podcast, co-creator of This is About and host of Radiotonic . He also hosted and produced Long Story Short on RN, and was one of the creators and executive producers of All the Best, FBi Radio's documentary and storytelling program. Most recently, Jesse was Audible Australia's head of original content.
Jesse worked tirelessly to create storytelling platforms that other producers could re-invent as their own. He passed away in December of 2017, and will continue to impact generations of audio makers around the world.
