Jesse Thorn
Jesse Thorn is America’s Radio Sweetheart, a men’s style expert, a bailiff, a pop culture television host, a comedian, an entrepreneur and….did I miss anything? Probably. Jesse leads a busy life as the head of Maximum Fun and the host of The Sound of Young America. He has been broadcasting since college and has no intentions of stopping, especially as his network, and family, expands. If you are new to Jesse Thorn, might I recommend Jordan, Jesse Go which has featured Earwolf hosts like Scott Aukerman, Paul Scheer, and more.
