Proud Mancunian Emma Barnett is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and author. She began in print journalism before landing a job on radio at LBC in 2012. Emma became known for her agenda-setting interviews, delivered in a warm but forensic manner, and it wasn’t long before a career at the BBC beckoned. She hosted a daily three-hour show on Radio 5 Live for many years before moving to Radio 4 to front Woman’s Hour, a show that became the BBC’s most downloaded podcast under her stewardship. Emma recently made the move to the Today programme, the BBC’s flagship breakfast news show, as she assumes a wider role across BBC TV and News, fronting documentaries and exclusive interviews. Nick mixes a dirty vodka martini for Emma, while Angela satisfies her adventurous palate with pan-fried chicken livers with warm potato salad. The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with a delicious red, Seriously Old Dirt by Vilafonté, which is only available at Waitrose Cellar. Having come straight from the BBC studio, Emma is delighted to leave hard news behind in favour of some fun conversation. She discusses her dream of becoming a fishmonger, the creative side hustle that she designed with her husband and shares a famous food saying that is definitely NOT in Angela’s repertoire.
