Eternally young-at-heart, she began her broadcasting radio career back in the 1970’s as an Undergraduate at a private college in The Pacific Northwest.

After Graduate School and then teaching Speech Communication and Debate at a state university (she can still successfully argue both sides of a question!) she was the “Monday Night Trivia Lady” on a major Northwest radio station where she specialized in Classic Hollywood, Old Time Rock and Roll, The Beatles, British Invasion Music, American History, and Historical Britain.  “Rumor Has It” there is a European Title in her background – meaningless in The USA but fun when making dinner reservations at a nice restaurant!  

On a first-name basis with numerous foreign and domestic notables (nudge, nudge – wink, wink!), Toby Chicago knows of whence she speaks! 

She is a Native Chicagoan who grew up listening to Chicago-area DJ’s like Art Roberts, Dick Biondi, Clark Weber, and Don Kathrein, and is a life-long BeatleManiac.
 
Toby Chicago has lived in The Pacific Northwest for many years, has some political and military service under her belt, and “finally” discovered Indie Music – which she finds she likes a whole bunch!  As a garage band musician for more than a few decades Toby Chicago takes a personal interest in Indie Musicians who wish to expand their audience to an international level and gives them airplay on her internet radio shows.
