ChickChat is a live, daily, contemporary, relevant, stylish, unique, non-political, entertaining, not for-women-only radio show hosted by two women with no loss for words... or opinions.
Co-hosts Heidi Hanzel and Lara Dyan talk about the things you deal with on a daily basis. Things like - being married - being single - office romance - losing weight - dating tips for the guys - what men should know about women - internet dating - raising kids, and more.


Heidi is married and lives in the country outside Washington D.C. A former high school geek, she became an NFL cheerleader and a corporate brand manager. She kicked corporate life to the curb for ChickChat - her new weapon for fighting the new dreaded "wife/mother" stereotype.

When Heidi and Lara started ChickChat, Lara was single and living in New
York City. After 20-odd years of dating (emphasis on ODD!), she has returned to Boston to marry the guy next door. Instead of late nights at the bar, she now enjoys all things Disney with her stepdaughters.

Heidi and Lara met in 1997 while working at an "up and coming" telecommunications company as part of its successful national marketing team. However, this company no longer exists (a victim of the recent telecommunications bust). But it served to create an intense camaraderie between the duo as they survived the daily onslaught of corporate horrors including 12 hour days, frequent last minute travel, unrealistic expectations, bosses from hell, and not having their intelligence and expertise taken seriously for reasons of age, gender or even hair color.
Over cocktails after work, they would indulge in daydreams of downwardly mobile jobs like being the cashier at the local gas station. These musings soon led to a more exciting dream. When Heidi's husband, co-host of a weekend talk radio show, repeatedly returned from conferences relating that the industry had a large gap in talk radio programming for women, they began to think they should quit the madness and start their own radio show.
Never at a loss for words (they're chicks!) and never at a loss of opinion, the two made it happen. The rest, as they say, is history.
