Justin JJ Jaeger is a recovering television news reporter who can’t resist the sweet taste of a hot microphone. He is a member of both the International Cinematographers Guild and SAG-AFTRA and has just enough random industry credits to his name to put the “quitter” in non sequitur. He lives in Portland, Oregon, and gobbles up arts and entertainment in all its glorious forms. He always wants to get into deep conversations with everyone about music, books, and movies as evidenced by his long runs as a contributing voice on many of the entertainment podcasts of trustory.fm. You can find fun snippets from JJ on The Film Board, Trailer Rewind, and the Marvel Movie Minute among others. He talks through both popular and obscure book reviews from his recent life on the Youtube channel, Jayge’s Pages. You’ll likely find him at any dive-y karaoke bar around town, searching through the selections and testing out tunes to bring the house down.
