Sidekick/Producer of the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show
Cacklin' Jack has spent a fair amount of time in the radio business. Starting his career at 15, he has gone on to win Presenter Of The Year in 2007, working in commercial radio joining SCA. Jack works on creative production for the Hamish and Andy Show and 'Hamish & Andy Gap Year' TV series.
Since then, he's taken on a new role as Sidekick on the Christian O'Connel Breakfast Show.

Verbatim from the transcripts — each quote links to the moment.
“The game is called Four Fingers or Five.”
“2 times speed is just to say that you've listened to the episode, but you're actually not— nothing.”
“The Daily Talk Show isn't safe anymore, the bots are knocking at their door.”
“You were a puppet this whole time, you were attached to string.”
“Ralph's a hustler.”
“It's so freeing to go, oh, you don't have to care about that.”
“Big companies are always going to take longer to move than the little guy.”
How fast should you listen to podcasts?
Jack Post recommends capping playback speed at around 1.2x, arguing that going much faster (like 2x) means you're not really absorbing the content, just technically finishing the episode.
How can shift workers manage hunger and energy on early radio/work schedules?
Jack recommends thinking ahead: go to sleep early, have a warm drink with some fat (like oil or butter in tea) on waking, and prepare a smoothie the night before to eat during the show rather than relying on cereal or skipping meals.
While snorkeling in Mexico, Jack Post was repeatedly stung by a jellyfish without realizing it at the time, mistaking the sensation for static electricity; welts appeared the next day and a cheap local doctor treated him with a topical cream.
Jack recalls meeting a group of Australians at a Barcelona club where one friend, trying party drugs for the first time, became overly affectionate and later took off his clothes in a toilet cubicle claiming he was too hot.
Jack Post explains he sold much of his Bitcoin holdings to fund a home renovation and even paid an excavator contractor directly in Bitcoin after discussing cryptocurrency with him on-site.
Jack Post is challenged to pitch a theme, leave for about 20-45 minutes, and return to perform an original song live. He comes back and performs 'The Daily Talk Show' song about bots flooding the comments and thanking producer Mr. 97, to applause from the hosts.
Jack recounts accidentally playing the same ad break twice during a live radio show, meaning sponsored ads didn't air as scheduled; a colleague nicknamed 'Grumpy Dave' told him it cost around $15,000, though Jack isn't sure that figure is accurate.
Jack admits he tried to secretly create his own Wikipedia page using a fake email, but was told his references (mostly radio industry sites) weren't credible enough to verify him as a public figure, and that getting a Wikipedia page has become an ongoing goal/joke for him.
Drawn from the episode transcripts.
It's a game pitched by guest Jack Post where players are told a cartoon character and must guess whether that character has four or five fingers on each hand, e.g. Bart Simpson has four, Shaggy from Scooby-Doo has five.
From episode 892→Tommy described the Manscaped 'Lawn Mower 3.0' as a product that can be used safely in sensitive regions without nicking or cutting, noting it left things feeling smooth with minimal hair remaining, unlike his past experiences with regular shavers which caused bleeding.
From episode 892→While snorkeling in Mexico, Jack Post was repeatedly stung by a jellyfish without initially realizing it, mistaking the sensation for static electricity; welts appeared the next day across his arms and chest, and a local doctor treated him for about $3 plus extra for a topical cream.
From episode 892→During the 24-hour livestream, the comment section was flooded with bot-generated political comments (including pro-Trump messages) and dislikes; the hosts clarified it wasn't technically 'hacking,' just a flood/DDoS-style attack, and the dislikes dropped from a spike back down to 9 once the bots were addressed, with producer Mr. 97 (George Martin/Charles) credited for handling it — later immortalized in Jack Post's improvised song.
From episode 718→It began when Jack Post posted an Instagram video joking about twin friends and singing the theme song to the 90s Nickelodeon show CatDog; one of them suggested covering it together, which led to forming the band.
From episode 455→He wakes at 4:30am and drinks a bulletproof-style tea with oil and sometimes butter, then drinks a separate mushroom tea at the station; he also makes a smoothie the night before packed with greens powder, protein powder, mushroom powder and various nut butters to eat during the show since he gets hungry easily.
From episode 283→Jack and his wife held about 7 Bitcoin plus Ethereum and smaller coins at their peak, even looking into tax-haven countries to move to, but they sold it all gradually and put the proceeds into their house renovation; he calls getting into it in the first place 'greedy.'
From episode 283→Mr. Ralph is a retired United Airlines pilot in his 80s and a client of Jack's in-laws' real estate business. Because of his decades as airline staff, he can access flights paying only taxes, and he resells access to people he knows at a markup, letting Jack fly Melbourne to LA in first/business class for roughly $1,000 USD.
From episode 283→Mentioned on 25 episodes Jackwasn’t on.
Friend of George and Josh who unknowingly invited George to lunch on his birthday, fueling George's surprise-party theory; also connected to Jacky Road Studios podcast.
Josh mentions discussing launch-focused procrastination with Jack Post regarding his Jackie Roach Studios podcast project.
Mentioned as a friend who was trying to bulk up at the gym, contrasted with Josh's own weight struggles.
Josh recalls Jack Post's smutty song 'Ghost In My Room' from a 2013 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show.
Mentioned as having told the hosts he liked Crunchie bars; also referenced as performing live on the show the next day.
Mentioned as someone both hosts have worked with previously, illustrating their overlapping networks.
