Welcome to the One Hundred & Ninety-Second Edition of The Chronicles of Podcast, These are The Chronicles of Chuck Jackson

Photographer Chuck Jackson opens up about his early love for animation, graphic design and comic art, and how a supportive family helped pave the way for his lifelong artistic path. We explore how he transitioned into portrait photography, the importance of capturing real moments, and how adapting his style was essential to becoming a professional creator. He shares stories from inside the wrestling world — including how social media networking changed the course of his career, a breakthrough shoot with Chelsea Green, and his ongoing creative partnership with Natalya, which has unlocked a world of new opportunities. Chuck’s passion for storytelling through imagery shines as he discusses narrative-driven shoots, outfit selection, and the behind-the-scenes challenges that the audience never sees. We also dive into one of the most talked-about topics in the art community today: Artificial Intelligence. Chuck speaks candidly about the threat AI poses to photographers and creatives, arguing for the importance of authenticity and human artistry. From disagreements with musicians over AI-generated videos to his fears for the future of creativity, Chuck doesn’t hold back.

Also this week, Tom dives into the bizarre new battle between Iceland and KFC after Iceland decide to give the people what they’ve been asking for – could we be on the brink of a fast food war? Kerry Katona vs Colonel Sanders, who you got? Tom also questions the odd behaviour of toddlers and ponders why they're called a “zoo keeper” they don’t actually get to keep the zoo! Jamie brings us the fascinating world of animal chiropractor Murat Colak before getting Tom’s opinion on some hilarious rejected petitions put forward to the government – including whether we should officially ban James Corden from the UK! The boys also discuss Donald Trump’s recent appearance at the NFL game between the Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions – and one unforgettable moment that had everyone saying “state your name!” The lads catch up on their week as Jamie’s neck troubles roll on, he heads out to see Pendulum live and continues his quest to watch every WWE Summerslam as he reaches Summerslam 2011. Tom has a big announcement about heading back to university, makes a hilarious mistake while catching up on The Blacklist, and updates us on his Fantasy NFL League climb.
