Rick Emerson (born March 7, 1973), formerly known as Rick Taylor, is a radio personality most known for The Rick Emerson Show, formerly broadcasting daily from RickEmerson.com, and had been broadcast in Portland, Oregon, in one form or another, since 1997. The show was nationally syndicated for a period from 1998-2001 by NBG Radio Network. The current show is subscription based, which according to Rick is so that the subscribers/listeners are in control of the show, instead of corporations who don't get the show and only see it as a line item on a budget. In addition to The Rick Emerson Show, Rick is also the host of Legion of News (LoN), available on Cascadia.fm (formerly PDX.FM) from noon to 1pm. He is ably assisted on both shows by his co-host Dawn Taylor, a Portland journalist. Rick also hosts Outlook Portland a public affairs show that airs at 6:30 am Sundays on NW 32 TV. Emerson has also co-authored a book, with CNN Radio correspondent Lisa Desjardins titled Zombie Economics, released May 3, 2011.
