== The History Chicks Podcast ==

Description
The History Chicks is a podcast that covers women's history in a biographical style, using a birth-to-death format and incorporating pop culture and literary references. Shows range in length from XXX to XXX; some are split into two episodes. Shows under 20 minutes are typically labeled "minicasts", and are not included in the numbered episodes.

In addition to the standard format, there are special shows including Music Shows (featuring the end songs in their entirety), Mailbags (in which the hosts read and answer listeners' questions), and Moviecasts, in which one or more of the hosts recap a movie and add historical detail.

In 2017, The History Chicks provided a seven-episode miniseries which recapped the Netflix original "Anne With an E", a retelling of the children's classic book series "Anne of Green Gables" by LM Montgomery.

The hosts are Beckett Graham and Susan Vollenweider. The show is recorded in Kansas City, Missouri, USA.

History
In late 2010, host Beckett Graham read a book entitled "To Marry an English Lord" by Carol Wallace and Gail McColl, which covered the lives of the "Dollar Princesses (American heiresses who married into the titled aristocracy in Europe.) A search for a podcast on this topic turned up nothing, so Graham was determined to create a long-form history podcast to fill this need.

Graham contacted Susan Vollenweider, a woman who she had only met online through a mother's forum online, and asked her to collaborate on this project. The pair recorded their first episode, Marie Antoinette, in December of 2010.

The History Chicks began as an independent venture, relying on self-production, self-promotion and word of mouth, but soon gained a following.

The History Chicks joined the Panoply Podcast Network, a division of Slate.com, in XXXXX.
