Director, Ritual

Sydney

Jesse Chard is a multi-award winning radio/podcast producer, documentary film director, educator and founder of Ritual Studios. Jesse has had over 20 years experience in radio journalism, audio production and direction, podcasting, technical post-production, music and soundtrack composition and voice-over. Jesse has worked deeply in the podcasting medium since its earliest days, and as head of multimedia for Macquarie Digital in the late 2000's, Jesse quickly saw the importance of having a robust podcasting framework to not only develop interesting content, but to match with, and track, a company's business objectives and goals.

Jesse has some unique insights on how podcasts are a high value medium for personal and intellectual development. And how enriching human conversations, deep interest pieces, and easy to understand presentations of complex topics are becoming increasingly interesting to rapidly expanding audiences.
