About Emma

Producer • Audio Journalist • Script Writer

I am an independent podcast producer and investigative journalist. I produce, write, and host Gooned, a Shorty Award-winning, W3-Award-winning, Ambies-nominated, and Webby-nominated limited-series podcast now available on all platforms, and am also the creator of the Texas Twiggy podcast, released in 2022. I graduated from UCLA in 2022 with a B.A. in English and minors in Global Studies and Professional Writing.

I am also a fine art and portrait photographer and embroidery artist. I bring a creative and experimental approach to my work in audio, visual art, and writing of all kinds, and have strong feelings about the Oxford comma.

I grew up outside of Washington, D.C., and now live in Los Angeles with a cranky asthmatic cat named Garlic. When I'm not making a podcast, I'm usually embroidering, rollerskating, or eating pickles straight from the jar.

I'm a member of The Podcast Academy's Education and Outreach Committee, and participate in plenty of radio, podcast, and audio groups... You're sure to see me around!

I run Los Audio, a biweekly newsletter that rounds up in-person radio, podcasting, and other audio events in the Los Angeles area.
