Marcus Lush

Marcus Lush (born July 1965) is a television and radio presenter in New Zealand.[1][2]

He made his first forays into television in the 1990s as a reporter co-presenting TV2's Newsnight alongside Simon Dallow and Alison Mau, but it was a 2003 episode of travel show, Intrepid Journeys, that set him on a new broadcasting path. Since then the longtime talkback radio host has won acclaim and awards for Off the Rails, which chronicles his journey along New Zealand's railway lines, and he spent a month in Antarctica for the series, Ice. In December 2008 Lush began work on a new television series, South, in which he explores Southland and Otago. South went to air in August 2009.

Lush was raised largely in Auckland, the fourth son of a printer and a speech therapist. He began his long career in talkback by presenting a show on student station Radio B (now 95bFM), where he worked alongside Eating Media Lunch co-creator Paul Casserly. At the age of 24, he went on to take over the graveyard talkback shift on 1ZB. [3] During the late 1990s, he hosted the breakfast show on Auckland's 91ZM and from 2000 it was heard nationwide, except in Wellington and Christchurch. Lush's ZM programme was axed in 2001 when the 91ZM Wellington breakfast show hosted by Polly and Grant took over.

Marcus Lush moved to Southland in 2002 to host the breakfast show on Foveaux FM, but left the station in 2004, and in 2005 began presenting an evening talkback programme on the newly established Radio Live. Although Radio Live is nationwide and based in Auckland, he produces his show from Invercargill. In 2007, he became breakfast host on Radio Live, which position he still holds today.

Television shows presented by Lush include Newsnight, Off the Rails: A Love Story[4], South and North.
