Emma Gillespie

I’m a journalist/broadcaster with a passion for podcasting, human interest storytelling, and finding creative ways to engage young people with the world around them. I’m obsessed with the news, politics and pop culture. I pretend to like pub trivia but it makes me irrationally competitive and anxious.

Interviewing Richard Scolyer (joint 2024 Australian of the Year). Richard was diagnosed with brain cancer after saving countless lives throughout his career. He’s one of the most impressive people I’ve ever met. I dare you to listen to our chat and not feel moved by his grace, kindness and strength.
