This hour, we remember the audio work of two brilliant producers who recently passed away \u2014 Jesse Cox & Joe Frank.

\u2018Keep Them Guessing\u2019 [excerpt] 

by Jesse Cox for ABC RN\u2019s 360Documentaries (2013) 

As a young boy, producer Jesse Cox discovered a set of old cassette tapes which turned out to be a hugely popular BBC radio show featuring his grandparents performing telepathically. The tapes had been sitting in the front room of his parent's home for years - recordings of an unsolved mystery that has captivated and kept his family guessing for three generations.

\u2018This Is About Jesse Cox\u2019 

By Belinda Lopez & Jess Bineth for This Is About (2017)

\u2018The Real Tom Banks\u2019 

by Jesse Cox with Timothy Nicastru for ABC RN\u2019s Radiotonic (2014) 

Tom Banks is 23, gay and searching for love. He grew up relatively isolated on a farm just outside of Geelong in Victoria, Australia, and as a teenager turned to internet chat rooms to meet others. Over the years, Tom has become somewhat of an expert when it comes to meeting guys online. And he's learned that when you're online, you can be whoever you want to be. So who is the real Tom Banks?
