Who is John Edward?

John Edward – born John Edward McGee Jr. on 19 October 1969 – is an American television personality, writer and self-proclaimed psychic medium. He published his first book on the subject in 1998 and became a household name in the United States when his television shows began airing on the Sci-Fi Channel in 2000, followed by a long run on We TV from 2006.

That phrase ‘self-proclaimed’ is doing honest work in the description above, and we intend to keep it there. Edward has always been a controversial figure who divides audiences sharply, so listeners should pack whatever level of scepticism they usually travel with. What is not in dispute is his ability to hold an audience, on screen and on the page.

Our catalogue carries Chasing Evil, a title that makes its intentions plain: darkness pursued, with a medium’s sensibility supplying the atmosphere. Whatever one concludes about Edward’s stage and screen work, the writer’s job is a different one – here he simply has to hold you, and holding people is the single skill nobody disputes he possesses.

In audio that makes for effective late-night listening for UK audiences who enjoy a shiver and are not too particular about where it comes from. Believers will hear authenticity; sceptics will hear a practised showman who knows exactly how to pace a reveal. Either way, it earns its keep in the earbuds – just perhaps not with the lights off.
