(Middleburg, VA/Boston, MA) ChickChat Radio is proud to announce that it is a media sponsor of the upcoming 6th Annual Mamapalooza Festival. Events will be held throughout May, with concerts scheduled nation-wide, in the UK and Australia.

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 have been getting familiar with the Mom rockers thanks to a weekly segment titled, “Mamapalooza Monday.” Each week Joy Rose introduces a new band by playing a song and talking about the artist.

Heidi is known for her raw honesty about motherhood, and about the challenges of being a (future) stepmother from Lara. That kind of get-it-out-of-your-system expression will also come through loud and clear from Mamapalooza performers including Housewives on Prozac, Merry & The Moodswings 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.

ChickChat Radio has recently been picked up by XM Satellite Radio (NASDAQ: XMSR), airing a program just for the Take Five Channel (Number 155).
