About us
Overground productions
Overground is a podcast and television company based in London, founded by producer and broadcaster Jack Boswell.We take our name from the overground train line which runs outside Jack’s front door in Camden Town - in the early days, he would record voiceover in the quiet gaps between passing trains.Things have got more professional since then, although that same inventive and creative spirit remains in our work to this day.
Audio
Off the beaten jack
Our atypical American travel series, bringing you stories from the corners of U.S. which most people don't visit. The show won an ARIA two years in a row - Best New Podcast in 2023 and Best Speech Presenter in 2024 - and was recommended by The Guardian. The series covers everything from mental health, adoption and gun control to addiction, prejudice and sex work.
Documentary
I wish you were never born
Our debut TV documentary explores Antinatalism, the belief that humans should stop having children and let our species go extinct. Cheery, eh? Filmed in London and across the U.S, the project humanises those who follow this fringe philosophy and explores the human cost of holding such an extreme belief. Currently in post-production.
