Emma Rusher
Emma is our Australian correspondent, who transforms her morning runs through Sydney into expansive journeys by listening to stories from across APAC. She was a teenage bookseller, Blockbuster employee, and indie-band founder before forging a career in publishing, working with household names and emerging authors alike (David Attenborough remains her favourite). She can't resist non-fiction, from vivid histories to first-person memoirs, but also enjoys bold multi-cast fiction listens.
