About this listen

In our debut episode, hosts Amelia Scannell and Cooper Willis introduce listeners to the world of Jack FM, the radio format known for unpredictable playlists, nostalgic hits, and the unmistakable “Jack FM energy” that defines its sound. We walk through how Jack FM started, why its mix of ’80s, ’90s, and 2000s rock and pop resonates so widely, and what makes these songs feel instantly familiar.

This premiere also reveals all 64 songs in our tournament to determine the most Jack FM song of all time — a bracket built from decades of radio data, cultural trends, and listener instincts. If you’ve ever wondered why certain songs dominate adult hits radio, or why Jack FM’s playlists feel both chaotic and perfect, this episode sets the foundation.
