Listen Later

On this week’s episode of Badass Basic Bitch we have Elise Hu, a Los Angeles-based journalist, podcaster, author and media entrepreneur. She’s the host of TED Talks Daily, a correspondent for VICE News Tonight, a host-at-large at NPR, and the author of Flawless, a book about lessons in looks and culture from the K-Beauty capital. Today we are going to be talking about Elise’s book, Flawless, and the impact of the beauty industry on women.

Elise is a Los Angeles-based journalist, podcaster and media entrepreneur. She’s the host of TED Talks Daily, a correspondent for VICE News Tonight and a host-at large at NPR, where she spent nearly a decade as a reporter. She has reported stories from more than a dozen countries as an international correspondent, and opened NPR’s first-ever Seoul bureau, in 2015. She also created the Gracie-award winning video series Elise Tries. In 2009, Elise helped found The Texas Tribune, a nonprofit digital startup after stops at many stations as a television news reporter.

In addition to her hosting and reporting work, Elise co-founded and helps lead an all-woman podcast production house, Reasonable Volume. The team produces bespoke podcasts for clients ranging from individuals to non-profits to multi-billion dollar brands.

An honors graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia’s School of Journalism, Elise’s work has earned a Gannett Foundation Award for Innovation in Watchdog Journalism, a National Edward R. Murrow award for best online video and The Austin Chronicle once dubiously named her the “Best TV Reporter Who Can Write.”

Outside of work, she is a senior fellow at the University of Southern California’s Annenberg Innovation Lab, sits on the board of Grist magazine and is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. A mother of three girls, she spends an inordinate amount of time doing other people’s hair.
