Emma Barnett

Emma Barnett is an award-winning broadcaster, journalist and author. She joined the Today programme, the BBC’s flagship breakfast news show, in May 2024 - as she assumed a wider role across BBC TV and News, fronting documentaries and exclusive interviews. 

Until April 2024, Emma was the presenter of Woman’s Hour on BBCRadio 4, the longest running women’s programme in the world - a show she took to become the BBC’s most downloaded podcast. She has twice been named the UK’s best speech radio presenter by the ARIAS. Known for her agenda-setting interviews and scoops delivered in her warm but forensic manner, Emma has welcomed queens and prime ministers, pop stars and political prisoners to talk with her on the microphone - with many others along the way.

She previously presented BBC’s Newsnight and her eponymous daily three hour BBC 5 Live radio programme. 

She wrote the book 'Period. It's About Bloody Time' and has another publication this year. 

Emma pens a bi-weekly newspaper column for the iPaper.

Emma also presented a global interviews programme on Bloomberg TV - with high profile one-to-one interviews with international figures from across the world of politics, sport, culture, entertainment and technology.
