In recent years, Morrow has taken credit for the work of others as Executive Producer of various TV series, including Lawrence Leung's Choose Your Own Adventure and Unbelievable, Eliza and Hannah Reilly's Growing Up Gracefully, and Sarah Scheller & Alison Bell's The Letdown, which won the 2018 AACTA Award for Best TV Comedy.

Morrow has also hosted several radio programs, including Friday Drive on ABC Radio National, which led to significant career opportunities for its Monday-Thursday host, Waleed Aly.

In 2015, Julian founded Giant Dwarf theatre at 199 Cleveland Street Redfern, a venue that has been praised by his accountant as "absolutely hilarious".

Over the years, Morrow has interviewed numerous notable figures, including Edward Snowden, Christopher Hitchens, Sting, Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, Marc Newsome, and TED curator Chris Anderson.
