Brendan Jack

Wednesday 11 April 2012 saw the first of the new Biz Takeouts shows, with Jack (@brendanjack) taking to the digital airwaves from the trendy new 2oceansVibe Radio (@2OVfm) studio in Melrose Arch, Johannesburg. Jack is a writer, performer, marketer, producer, director, voice artist, comedian and satirical self-help novelist who won several international advertising awards while at the eighth most creative agency in the world. He also co-created Crazy Monkey, a comedy troupe who appeared on MTV worldwide, and his feature films include Straight Outta Benoni and Footskating 101.

Jack, who takes over the reins of the show from Stuff editor and columnist Toby Shapshak, has been adding his unique and humorous touch for the past month. Comments Jack, "I'm aiming to get insights from marketing and media insiders and experts, on a variety of topics, but not in an overly serious manner. Listen and learn. Or just listen."
