We're back: Introducing Phoebe!

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 21:00:41 GMT

Chickstory is back with a new look a new co-host but the same incredible stories about often overlooked women from history.

Meet Phoebe, my new co-host. Phoebe resides on Wadawurrung land and is your resident history detective and super sleuth (her parents also refer to her as a "sticky beak'') she is passionate about genealogy and discovered a love of researching families, their origins and finding skeletons in the closet (and coaxing them out). This is mostly due to her fascination with her own family history which is abundant with stories and mysteries from all over the world.

It took Phoebe a while to find her groove and work out what she wanted to do, but after an epiphany, while reading the newspaper in her early-20s, she realised that history "detectiving" was what she needed to do. So, she established Born & Bred Historical Research eight years ago to do just that. Born & Bred researches just about anything and everything you might imagine: family trees, family history, the history of your home, business or property, heir searches, oral history interviews, as well as being passionate about helping indigenous Australians with their genealogy. I'm thrilled to welcome Phoebe, and we can't wait to share many more stories of remarkable women with you!

This week we are joined by the fabulous Carol Ferrone, the time travelling business coach who you’ll recognise from the ABCTV show Back In Time For Dinner and Further Back in Time For Dinner! It was no secret that Yvie and Annie were obsessed with this show and they fan-girled hard when Carol agreed to come on the show and tell them all about Edith Cowan – the first woman in Australian Parliament - she’s even on the $50 dollar note (remember money?). We chat to Carol about corsets, crying and what it was like to live through 100 years of Australian History.

Annie also tells Yvie all about the origin of the word ‘Misogyny’ in their new segment ‘Word Up’ and they chat air fryers, girl power and Mafs (again).
