Angela Pippos is a journalist, presenter, producer, documentary-maker and author. She left her native South Australia in 1997 to pursue a sports journalism career with the ABC in Melbourne. She’s best known for anchoring the sports segment on the ABC TV News for almost a decade. Searching for a new challenge in 2007, Angela ventured where no woman has dared go - the testosterone-charged world of breakfast sports radio. Angela’s first book, The Goddess Advantage – One Year in the Life of a Football Worshipper (Text Publishing) loosely follows her life during the 2005 AFL season. Angela has contributed to a number of publications including The Footy Almanac (Malarkey Publications), It Happened on a Fishing Trip (Affirm Press), From the Outer (Black Inc) and Father Figures (Affirm Press). Her sharp, thought-provoking columns appear in The New Daily. In 2017 Angela released her second book, Breaking The Mould – Taking A Hammer To Sexism In Sport (Affirm Press). It provides a fascinating insight into the Australian sporting landscape. The television documentary she wrote, produced and presented about the rise of women in Australian Rules football, League of Her Own, aired on the Seven Network in February 2017. Following on from that Angela established Her Films to create powerful documentaries about women. Her second documentary HEROES about the inaugural AFLW season screened on the ABC in August 2017. After 20 years as a sports journalist covering mostly men’s sport Angela says: “it feels great to finally be working on projects that reflect my values and who I am”.
