It explores how memories and stories pass through the generations and the gaps and distortions that are created over time. 'Chinese Australian Whispers' was born of the idea that there is much of value in oral history recordings for family historians, in particular those with Chinese ancestry.Join Professional Historian and Curator Dr Sophie Couchman and Nikolaus Yee as we discuss the making of 'Chinese Australian Whispers' with four members of CAFHOV (Chinese Australian Family Historians of Victoria): Terry Young, Marie Hammond, Paula Herlihy and Peter Liefman as we discuss the making of this podcast. We will also be treated to a special performance by Dr Wang Zheng Ting who composed the music for the podcast and who also shares his story in one episode.The full podcast will be launched on the night but you can learn more about it <a href="https://sophiecouchman.com/2025/02/11/chinese-australian-whispers/" title="https://sophiecouchman.com/2025/02/11/chinese-australian-whispers/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a> or on your favorite podcasting app (eg.
