Jennings is a journalist, documentary producer, podcaster, and founder of the production company Nocturne. In 2024, Jennings signed a first-look deal with Hulu.
According to SFGate, Jennings “is an extrovert, with light blue eyes and a just-barely-there Texas twang.” According to the Conspirituality podcast, he “is a bright light in an increasingly chaotic cult-content economy” and his investigative podcast The Gateway about spiritual leader Teal Swan, “sets a high-watermark standard for research, fairness, and sensitivity.”
The Gateway inspired the docuseries The Deep End, for which Jennings served as development executive producer. Next, Jennings produced Revelations, with Blumhouse and Spotify.
As a senior reporter at Gizmodo, Jennings reported on cybersecurity, AI, Big Tech, politics, and national security. Jennings witnessed the storming of Area 51, worked with whistleblowers who revealed how the Jehovah’s Witness Church mishandled allegations of abuse, and exposed a fraudster and fake sex doctor who conned major outlets and scientific journals into publicizing his bogus and dangerous studies on necrophilia, zoophilia, and sexual assault.
For his article “The Last of the Iron Lungs,” Jennings tracked down and met all the last living polio survivors in the US who still rely on iron lungs. Jennings produced a short documentary to accompany the article, which has been viewed on YouTube 43 million times and has been used in health and science classes across the U.S., to teach students about the polio epidemic.
Jennings previously worked as an editor at Esquire and Popular Mechanics.
He is a New York State-certified rape crisis counselor and a volunteer ER rape crisis advocate.
