57 | Sarah Clarke, Journalism in Asia

Compounding Curiosity

Sarah Clarke is an award-winning journalist, TV presenter and media facilitator now based in Australia.

Sarah spent 8 years living and working in Hong Kong and is now a freelance correspondent with Al Jazeera English covering major stories across Australia and Asia-Pacific.

But selfishly, most exciting for me which I’ll detail in our conversation, Sarah was the Executive Producer and Presenter of the popular TV series "AusBiz Asia" broadcast on ABC that profiled successful Australian businesses kicking goals on the international scene.

In this conversation, we cover Journalism in Asia, and my favourite TV show of all time, AusBiz Asia.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Sarah Clarke.
