Jumpin' In is a Manx Radio broadcast which alternates with its sister programme Sweet & Swing, on the station's 9:00pm – 10:00pm slot on Friday nights. Jointly presented by brothers Howard and Chris Caine, the first transmission was on Friday 13 January 2017.

Like its sister programme, the show is broadcast on FM and MW frequencies as well as worldwide through the Manx Radio website. Jumpin' In takes its name from the title track of the 1983 album Jumpin' In by Dave Holland's Quintet.

Schooled by their father Jim "The Jazz" Caine, the brothers Caine individually and collectively contribute to the show, which offers a wide and rich variety of music from modern contemporary jazz across the spectrum to some lesser known music. Broadcasts have also included a special edition covering the Southport Jazz Festival.^[1] In addition the programme has also encompassed recorded interviews from the London Jazz Festival featuring artists such as John Surman and Jasper Høiby.

As it has become more established, Jumpin' In has begun to increasingly reflect the genre of the contemporary jazz scene; however the presenters often illustrate the evolution which links the sister programmes, particularly alluding to the direct connection to the music which features on the playlists of both programmes.

The first dedicated transmission on Jumpin' In referring to a particular Jazz record label was aired on Good Friday, March 30, 2018, when the content of the show was devoted to Edition Records, part of which included an in depth interview with Dave Stapleton.
