“Jim Jackson is a legend when you think of Philadelphia sports, especially the Flyers. I’ve been doing my own Flyers podcast for a couple years now and wanted to take it to the next level. Taking Jim’s sports broadcasting class really helped me achieve that. His tips have already almost doubled the listenership! Jim is a great guy and really makes the classes feel like a conversation. He’s invested in making you a better broadcaster. I highly recommend Jim’s classes to anyone who is considering. “

“I would recommend Jim Jackson’s Broadcasting Coaching program to anyone with an interest in sports media at any level. All three instructional sessions were filled with incredible tips, tricks and practices coming straight from an extremely experienced broadcaster and a great guy too. It was evident at the outset that working with Jim would not only be helpful because of his great advice, but also because of the way Jim operates the sessions. Always listening, encouraging of questions and showing a genuine curiosity in my story and hopes, Jim made sure that our time together was a conversation. I really appreciated that. Especially in uncertain times like these, learning from Jim’s experiences and having his encouragement was more than welcomed.”
