Hello! My sister Sonia and I have been working on a fun new project…a podcast called Handmade History! It’s going to cover all kinds of topics, from people to practices to materials (we’re working on episodes about the history of cross stitch, the original Pride flag[s], and nalbinding!). I imagined it originally as the history of home ec–it would be great to play in a home ec class! Click the player at the bottom of this post to listen to our first episode, all about Jessie Young and the Radio Homemakers. Or, find it wherever you listen to podcasts!
Jessie Young and several other women became immensely popular hosting shows from 1926-1980. They shared recipes, tips, and stories with women in rural America. They were incredibly popular and beloved. Did you know Betty Crocker was originally a radio homemaker fabricated by General Mills?
