(Middleburg, VA/New York, NY) ChickChat Radio is proud to announce that it will be a media sponsor of the 5th Annual Mamapalooza Festival, taking place throughout May, with concerts scheduled in New York, Nashville, Detroit, San Francisco, Dallas, Washington, D.C. and more!

Both Mamapalooza and ChickChat empower and encourage women to be themselves, have fun, and live beyond the soccer mom stereotype. According to Lara Dyan, co-host of ChickChat, “this is a perfect match because Mamapalooza is about women having fun and that’s what our talk show is all about.”

“Moms are ready to open up to a whole new world of creativity," says Joy Rose, founder of Mamapalooza. "Mamapalooza inspires women to do just that, by encouraging them to step out and express themselves in a cooperative, upbeat platform of celebration and song!”

ChickChat listeners are accustomed to raw honesty about motherhood from Heidi, and about being single from Lara, in every show. That kind of get-it-out-of-your-system expression will also come through loud and clear from Mamapalooza performers including Housewives on Prozac, Black Flamingo and MotherLode Trio. The festival will also feature artists, comics, dancers, filmmakers and poets who are mothers. More information on all the performances is available at http://www.mamapalooza.com.

Like the bands performing at Mamapalooza, ChickChat is part of a very small club, as one of the only talk radio shows hosted by women that offers listeners contemporary, entertaining, non-political talk every weekday. Heidi and Lara launched the show in 2002 to be a girls’-night-out every day. Their takes on hot topics are as much for men as women who listen and call-in. “ChickChat is ‘Desperate Housewives’ meets ‘Sex & the City’,” says Heidi.
