Pantheon is proud to present Pamela Des Barres first hosted podcast series, "Miss Pamela's Pajama Party" Join Miss Pamela as she tells tales from her diary, has fun interviewing special guests, and shares her love of rock n roll. This first episode features Miss Pamela getting together with former GTO band-mate Miss Mercy, sharing stories of the days where the GTOs (Girls Together Outrageously) were mentored and produced by Frank Zappa. Despite her infamy as "the World's Most Famous Groupie" or "Queen of the Groupies," Pamela Des Barres has many other facets, fascinations and unique talents. Known mostly for her heady dalliances and friendships with classic rock's elite dandies in the 60s and 70s, she presciently kept copious diaries about those madcap revolutionary days and nights. Pamela has written four books, I'm With the Band, Take Another Little Piece of My Heart, (autobiographies) Rock Bottom: Dark Moments in Music Babylon, and most recently, Let's Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies. "Miss Pamela" has shared her history on endless TV and radio shows and documentaries, including two memorable stints with both Oprah and Larry King. Last year she wrote and produced an hour-long VH1 Doc interviewing an array of super-groupies based on her most recent book. She has been teaching ongoing women's writing workshops in Los Angeles and all over the country for twelve years, inspiring like-minded dolls to share their desire, stories and ideas in a totally safe environment. She calls these writing parties "Groupie Therapy." And as an ordained minister, Pamela performs unique one-of-a-kind rock and roll weddings.

From Miss Louisiana Teen USA to Star Search to the Cherry Pie video, this week we talk Bobbie Brown. She's Chanty's first Groupie of the 80's and 90's, and her doll friend Andrea Holz is here to tell (some of) her story. Bobbie was married to Jani Lane of Warrant, was in a relationship with Tommy Lee, had a one night stand with LEONARDO DICAPRIO RIGHT BEFORE HE DID ROMEO and JULIET (!!!!!), developed a drug addiction and starred on the reality show the Ex-Wives of Rock, before writing her book: Dirty Rocker Boys. Her story is one hell of an intro to this era of Groupie. Among Mrs. Cherry Pie, Chanty talks about her magical experience at the Sam Roberts show, his new album and once again discusses magic, David Bowie and clairsentience.

This week's Groupie/Muse is Gail Zappa. She is the quintessential rock and roll wife. Married to Frank Zappa with whom she had 4 children, it was "love at first sight" between the goddess and the genius. You'll hear what it's like to run the household for his nibs and how she was the voice of reason and fairy godmother to many a Groupie in Laurel Canyon. This week Chanty chats with Trevor Murphy, host and producer of the podcast AND radio show Halifax Is Burning. He's also a musician and songwriter in such bands as Quiet Parade and Dance Movie. Chanty and Trevor first met in 2010 on their tour to Peterborough with Trevor's then band, Sleepless Nights. Trevor talks about music on the East Coast, which bands he's a Groupie for and being a rock and roll husband. Chanty regales him with some Zappa children trivia, makes a Noel Fielding connection and tells the story of the night she spent in a tour van. Other rock and rollers you'll hear about in this episode: The Who, The Doors, the Mamas and Papas, Chris Hillman and the Beach Boys.
