9.27.08 Wishing Pam a Happy Birthday! She turns 49 on Tuesday. They celebrated on Saturday's show the only way they have been - by telling jokes. Only the catch this time around was: can listeners tell funny jokes that are clean? If you missed this week's show, download the podcast!
8.23.08 Finally... an update! You probably figured out I've been busy with things lately, and haven't had a lot of time to maintain this website as well as the show's Myspace page. But that doesn't mean I'm setting them aside. I've just renewed this domain for another year. In fact, today is the fourth anniversary of this website! Even though this site has been sporadically updated of late, fear not, it'll still be there.
Hey, did you hear, Anthony was featured in his hometown paper, The Gaston Gazette! Click here to read the article:

By the way, the latest on Pip's ex, O.J. Simpson... Back in jail!
12.15.07 Need Mobile Xmas Carol Recipients! As announced on today's show, next Saturday's big Christmas program will feature a segment where the crew will "deliver" Christmas carols to worthy recipients. So if you have any ideas as to who should be caroled by the Shack Pack, send an email to pam@pamstoneshow.com with your ideas.
Also, if you haven't done in yet, read Pam's latest blog entry for the holiday season, "Glad tidings please bring... and that's it"!
In the event this page isn't updated again before Christmas, PamBanana.com wishes all of the "chickens" a happy holiday season.
12.12.07 Just Sayin'... In Syndication! It's been a banner year for Pam: her first full year back on the air on Saturdays; her new show on Sunday mornings on The Link, "The Satisfied Life"; and of course, her blog on the Tryon Daily Bulletin web site, speaking of which, Pam reports some good news: Starting December 22, her semi-weekly column will also run in The Greenwood (SC) Index-Journal, and pretty soon, The Daily Southerner, based in Tarboro, NC, will also get on board! Congratulations, Pam! Here's to a great new season of content, via blog and the radio!
11.17.07 With the impending sale (read the previous update below) of WLNK and WBT-AM/FM from Lincoln Financial to Greater Media, we knew your Aunty Pam would not want to leave her "chickens" in the dark. In fact, I recently asked if she could share a thought or two regarding this issue, and she said, "Greater Media is a cool company because they're family-owned and not ginormous, they have a talk format in Boston and are very respected!" True, Greater Media does have talk stations in its portfolio: WTKK in Boston, as Pam referred to, which gears toward adults 25-54 and appears to be holding its own; sports talk WPEN in Philadelphia; and general talk WCTC in Central New Jersey. I would say that the chances for Greater Media to retain the female-oriented talk format on WLNK, Bob & Sheri and all, are pretty good. As always, we'll keep you posted (no matter how scarce the updates might be these days)! And enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday!
11.13.07 Sold! Lincoln Financial Group has sold its Charlotte radio properties - WLNK and WBT-AM/FM - to Boston-based Greater Media, which owns nearly two dozen radio stations in the Northeast. No word on how, if at all, it will affect Aunty Pam's show but we certainly hope she remains in their plans come 2008, when Greater Media officially takes control of the stations. More from CNN.com, which also reports on the pending sale of Lincoln's television holdings...
Meanwhile, Pam's posted two new blogs, a rant on water, and an ode to Mr. Linder...
10.18.07 I know, there shouldn't be any excuse not to update the website, what with the webmaster being too busy updating Pam's Wikipedia page (and sorry, Anthony, the link to your website still isn't on there... So I'll link it here: everyone check out 88AMP.com).
Anyway, Pam has an open letter to Pip's ex - you know him, you probably hate him - O.J. Simpson. Check out her latest blog.
9.16.07 It's Happy Time! September 16th is Pip's birthday! I'm sure O.J. might want to steal you some loot...
Also, Pam's birthday is September 30, with her man Paul's birthday right in between on the 23rd. All of us at Pam Banana wish everyone a happy birthday!
And of course, the show's one-year anniversary as a weekly is also on September 30th, but will be observed on the 29th.
9.15.07 Happy mid-September, chickens! Do you know what's coming up in two weeks? That's right, the first anniversary of the return of the show in weekend form! No word of a specific celebration as of yet, but if there is anything poppin', it'll be posted here...
Anyway, I knew I spent enough time slacking on updating the website when Pippy's ex O.J. Simpson was in the news once again...
Anyway, Pam's got a brand new blog this week; check out "The War Between The States".
8.23.07 Please check out Pam's brand new blog, simply titled "Hooligans!"...
Also, Pam wants you to check out this YouTube video - a behind-the-scenes look in dressage training! A must for any horse person...
8.13.07 Go read Pam's latest blog entry, simply titled, "Rats!" And if it seems a bit familiar to you, it should: the story in the blog was told recently on the show; this blog paints a better picture.
Meanwhile, here's Tony Romo and a cockroach. Imagine if this took place in the end zone during the playoffs!
8.2.07 Pam rants about driving in her latest blog... And while you're at it, leave a comment for Pam to read on the blog.
7.18.07 Thought we'd get you all caught up on the latest happenings involving friend of the show Edwin McCain. He'll be part of the Southern Exposure tour hitting Greenville later this year. Tickets on sale starting next month. Check the tour's website for more. He's also recorded some footage for VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the 90's" show that will start airing this fall. For more info, check out Edwin.com.
Don't forget to check out a new show this Saturday (Anthony's on vacation, which likely means Chad will be back), as well as "The Satisfied Life" on Sunday... and oh yeah, Pam's latest blog!
7.7.07 It's seven-seven-oh-seven - anyone you know getting married today? How about at 7:07 local time?
Anyway, new show today - if you miss it, check out the podcast - and in addition, Pam has asked you chickens to check out this video on YouTube. She wants everyone to understand not only her pre-existing problem with China, but her efforts to being involved with helping to boycott the 2008 Olympic Games. Give the video a watch and let us - or Pam - know your thoughts (she's got access to her email box again).
6.28.07 Check out Pam's brand new blog, Rain, rain, get over here!
Be sure to catch a new show this Saturday, and of course, "The Satisfied Life", on Sunday morning.
And enjoy your Fourth of July, everyone!
(Am I forgetting something? I think someone celebrates a birthday on Monday - someone very close to the show - ah, it can't be that important...)
6.21.07 Did you know you can not only listen to Pam podcasts on your iPod... but on your cell phone! According to Radio-Online.com, Pam's home station, The Link, has made podcasts and other highlights available for all of its talk shows, including "Bob & Sheri". For more info: Read the press release from UpSnap.
Speaking of Link talk shows, "The Secret About The Secret" has been renamed to "The Satisfied Life". Not listed on their website at the moment, but it should likely air on Sunday mornings if there is a new installment.
6.15.07 Have you started raiding your newsstands for the latest issue of "Life & Style" magazine (see blurb below)? Let us know!
Pam and the crew promises a brand new show tomorrow, and apologize about the connection issue - but that's what thunderstorms can do, folks!
In the meantime, check out Pam's brand new blog titled "Girls Night Out".
6.7.07 Greetings! Thought the ol' banana was dead, didn't ya? Not at all - endured a long move and the Internet connection has finally been reestablished. Hooray for progress.
Let us begin with some BREAKING NEWS: Pam was approached by Life & Style Magazine to submit jokes for a new feature. Turns out her first one made the cut and will be in the June 25th issue! Way to go, Aunty Pam, congratulations! Here's to many more. By the way, wonder if a single joke pays more than a handful of "Coach" royalty checks... The issue goes on sale June 14th; no word on if the joke will appear on their website.
Also, Pam has suggested a YouTube pick, and it's one that pulls at the heartstrings if you or a loved one is currently in Iraq: "Remember Me", a military montage by Lizzie Palmer from Ohio.
One probably would remember that the one-year anniversary of the end of Pam's daily show had past. Let us all be grateful she's still able to do a show in a medium that is continuously under scrutiny, and making it less fun... The Funny Farm keeps going!
Well, apparently I have missed a LOT during the move... Did anyone see what Anthony killed the other day?
Is that... dinner? Click here!
5.18.07 The gang apologizes for the technical problems that impeded their ability to bring you a new show last week, so be ready for a new show this week.
Also, if you want to watch what Pam is watching, she recommends: Clatterford, of course, a show on BBC America. It's a new vehicle featuring Jennifer Saunders from "Ab Fab". Airs Friday nights at 9 PM and 1 AM ET.
By the way, in case you haven't checked out Pam's blog lately, she has a great take on the Imus mess. Read it. (Quack quack.)
5.10.07 Two very special birthdays were celebrated at the Funny Farm recently: Paul's mother, now 86 years young; and Bonnie, who's 6 - or 42 in human years. So basically, Bonnie's half as old as Paul's mum! Anyway, Pam and Paul were grateful enough to send along a few photos to share the festivities from that day. (Paul's mother is wearing the crown and the darker lavender attire.)
Photo 1 | Photo 2 | Photo 3 | Photo 4
We also obtained photos from Anthony's birthday party but, trust us, you don't wanna see 'em... Anyway, stay tuned for a new show on Saturday.
Meanwhile, did you hear O.J. - Pip's ex - got kicked out of a Kentucky steakhouse? We hear he really had his work cut out for him...
5.5.07 Happy Cinco De Mayo! If you miss any of today's festive show, as usual, check out the podcast.
And speaking of Podcasts... Paul's appearance on last week's edition of WBT's "Carolina Gardener" are also now available via podcast! Check out the show's podcast page... Or, you can download the appearance directly here and here.

Also, a new Tryon Daily Bulletin blog entry is due sometime this week; do watch for it.

Props to Paul, who I hear lit the phone lines like a Christmas tree on WBT's "Carolina Gardener" this morning. Next step: give him his own show!

Elsewhere in the Carolinas: This weekend marked the end of an era as WAGI-FM abruptly ended on Friday night. The new owners changed its format to Spanish.
4.17.07 Our thoughts and prayers to the victims of the horrific Virginia Tech shootings on Monday, and their families. May God bless them.
This Saturday, before tuning into Pam, tune into Paul - he'll be appearing on "Carolina Gardener" from 8 to 10 am on the Link's sister station, the 85-year-old WBT 1110 AM.
4.9.07 Yes, it was Anthony's birthday... And there is the 85th birthday of WBT tomorrow... but there can be none bigger than today...
Today is Cheeta the Chimp's 75th Birthday! Yes, the world's oldest living chimpanzee hits the big 7-5! According to Cheeta's official website: "Cheeta, aka "Jiggs," turned 74 on April 9th, 2006". While it has not been updated at press time, clearly today Cheeta turns 75.
To celebrate, we've dug from the archives an interview Pam did last year with Cheeta's caretaker, Dan Westfall.
Download this interview from April 21, 2006.

Mark your Pyrex for April 29! As announced on today's show, Pam will be co-hosting a show called "The Secret About The Secret" on Sunday, April 29 from 9 am to noon with Ramona Holloway from "Matt & Ramona". That's "The Secret About The Secret" - think of it as "The View" on radio - without Rosie O'Donnell. Tune in and listen!
Hope you're enjoying/you've enjoyed today's show. Remember the podcast if you miss any portion of this week's show, including this week's installment of "Ask the Vet".
And for the horse lovers/owners in our community, Pam thought y'all would have an interest in seeing this: Celebrating Animals and Confronting Cruelty, a brief slideshow from the U.S. Humane Society. Check it out, and maybe make a donation.
In a completely unrelated story... Some poor old man died doing an impression of Bonnie and/or Rosie!
3.30.07 Hey Pam, congratulations to your boy Bono, who's been knighted by the British Empire. Expect a lot of U2 references in this Saturday's all-new show...

3.17.07 Happy St. Patrick's day! Today on the show, Monty - pink hair and all - was in studio, and was given away for an hour of his time. Per his request: "No hard work, very little sex..." And a listener named Ally asked him to come down and do some cleaning...
Here's audio of Monty meeting Ally and her kid.
Photos will be up later on PamStoneShow.com. And we're also working on getting video up on YouTube. Stay tuned...

This Saturday - it's St. Patrick's Day. And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure we'll be hearing from our friend Monty on this day... And quite possibly, it could be the first time in weeks all three regulars are back together!
And don't forget to check out MulesAndMoore.com! (But turn down your speakers first!)
3.6.07 Remember when the website FarmersOnly.com was mentioned on the show? So, I'm watching Lebron James and the Cavaliers when they go to commercial, I see an ad with talking animals - but it wasn't just another ad - yep, it was for FarmersOnly.com. They've got a full-fledged TV campaign! Sure enough, the fine folks at Farmers Only.com have uploaded their two commercials to YouTube.
Commercial 1 (this was the one they showed during the game) | Commercial 2
Oh yeah, stay tuned for an all-new show this Saturday!
3.1.07 Welcome to March, the month that comes in like a lion - or something rather...
This week's Saturday show will be a best-of, since Pam has a gig in the Raleigh area this weekend - good luck, by the way, and if you're going to be in attendance, enjoy.
In the meantime, you can read Pam's latest blog entry if you haven't done so already.
Also this weekend, we invite you to check out the Cockroach this weekend as we'll be playing songs starting with the letter I. It's part of a revolutionary program that is doing something not done on conventional radio. Click here for more info and to listen.

1.18.07 Still figuring out when the folks at BurnLounge are going to have Pam's CD ready for download... Has Anthony broken his smoking resolution yet?
1.6.07 Happy New Year!
Looking forward to a new year with new Shack fun. Apparently, spammers have upheld their New Year's Resolution: Since the inception of this site, we've offered several ways to contact the show, including, in addition to the conventional email address, a "feedback form" that sends the email directly to the inbox. And it's come to my attention that Pam had just started to receive spam in her inbox as a result of this feedback form! Because of this, I have taken down the form; though you can still email her the original way through the email address. Sorry for any inconvenience - but I will not stand for inconvenience at the expense of Aunty Pam!
Stand by for a new show this Saturday, and there's also new news on the Cockroach as well.
12.24.06 If you missed the show's newest adopted soldier Jarrett's call at the top of this week's show, download it here.

12.21.06 Enjoy the festive photo sent in by Pam and Paul, and thanks for it. And yes, that is a glass of wine on the coffee table.

Anothersite update tomorrow...
11.17.06 Say, have you heard... Pip's ex is in the news... What if O.J. did it?
Or would you rather see a picture of a monkey tattoo? Sent in by a listener named Angela (by way of Pam) who writes: "Be glad it wasn't your kid who came home with this one." Photo is probably safe for work. But do check it out.

10.10.06 This weekend, the Mighty Cockroach is back with a vengeance - he's added more music and more variety, so here's hoping you can tune in this weekend when he's broadcasting his fleabit radio station...
And speaking of radio, on a larger scale: Congratulations to Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, which leapfrogs two other markets on the Arbitron list - as Arroe would say in his Casey Kasem voice, "from Number 35, up two notches to Number 33". Way to go, Charlotte. Until the next book, keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars.
10.9.06 If you missed Saturday's show, you missed the triumphant return of nutritionist David Crocker, as well as Kennn. Download the podcast to hear the full show; link is on the left menu.
For those of you who receive the Turner South cable network, you may be aware that it's not like it was a few months ago, before Turner sold the network to Fox. Anyway, this Friday, the Turner South name is officially retired when the network is renamed SportSouth - a name that was actually itself retired in the late 1990's. (More from Broadcasting & Cable Yearbook.) With that said, some of you may have seen a program on the network called "Music Road", hosted by friend of the show Edwin McCain. We thought as long as their website is still up, we'd provide videos Edwin did for the network. All are in QuickTime format:
Edwin discusses the show | Edwin's favorite venues | Edwin's musical influences | Edwin on touring musicians
If you prefer to view the clips in streaming Windows Media or Real formats, you can still access their website. Although I'm not sure it'll be up after this week - so get in while you can...
10.6.06 To get you psyched up for tomorrow's show, here's a little exclusive audio: it's the "open" I created for the first show back - a sample of which Anthony was kind enough to include in the actual open that ran on the show, and I am grateful to be a part of it, in a way. So, anyone who wishes to download the webmaster's cut...

And check back later this weekend - because once again AM 930 The Cockroach will rear its antennae and bring you all the hits you can handle. Starting sometime tonight, probably, and continuing through Saturday, and maybe Sunday.
10.5.06 Thought I'd start today's update by saying hi to a certain media writer for a popular Charlotte newspaper... Hi, Mark. Glad to hear you enjoy the site. Thanks for the kind words.
Kinda related to the weekend spent in the CLT... On Saturday, I was privileged to see Appetite for Destruction perform at Amos Southend. And thanks to the magic of YouTube - and my handy-dandy Sony digital camera - You can too. The lead singer looks and sounds just like Axl, does he not?
10.4.06 As promised, here are a couple videos from Sunday's get-together at Buffalo Wild Wings:
Gang's All Here! | Go Panthers!
And here's another article about the return of the Pam Stone show - this one submitted by Pam herself... From the Spartanburg Herald-Journal.
10.3.06 Just wanted to thank all the folk for coming out in full force on Sunday at Buffalo Wild Wings. Special thanks to Percy, as well as Sharon and Suzanne; very special thanks to Shannon.
I'll post some photos during the week on our Myspace - and possibly Youtube...
In the meantime, here's a couple articles regarding Pam's show returning to the radio from Mark Washburn from the Charlotte Observer, as well as Jeff Byrd from the Tryon Daily Bulletin.
9.29.06 Well, Saturday is almost here... And while an "all-joke show" may not necessarily be on the agenda (it's Pam's birthday, but also the first show back) it certainly isn't out of the question...
By the way, for those of you wondering if David Crocker will be a part of the new show, I'm told that he certainly is. How long of a segment and when, I'm not sure - but he's coming back, as well. Visit his website, Fitness4YourLife.net.
And of course, I hope to see some of you - okay, ALL of you at Buffalo Wild Wings (info at the very top of the page). You fans have certainly earned this day, and it's the perfect weekend to celebrate, so come on out and have fun.
The funny returns in 1 day...
9.28.06 The funny returns in 2 days...
Meanwhile... T.O. pulls a Marilyn Monroe...
9.27.06 Be listening for a new promo touting the show's return on Saturdays - all I'll say is, it'll make you wanna say, "Whoooooooooooo!"
Also, why not personally email WLNK general manager Rick Jackson, or program director Neal Sharpe, or both, and thank them for bringing Aunty Pam back. Click here for the Link's contact page.
The funny returns in 3 days...
9.26.06 The announcement was officially made on the air at around 2:45 PM on Monday afternoon during the Matt & Ramona Show that Pam would return on Saturdays from 10 am - 2 pm on The Link.
Additionally, the official website, PamStoneShow.com, has been updated to reflect the news. Also according to their website, there will be a podcast of the show each week. And you can now easily access the podcast via our menu, part of our V2.0 website revamping.
The funny returns in 4 days...
9.25.06 It is with great jubliation - and maybe a little giddiness - that finally the following can be announced:
What: Pam Stone returns to the air on September 30.
When: Saturdays 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM ET.
Where: WLNK-FM - 107/9 The Link.
Promos will begin airing on the station this week. No word as to whether the show will retain their syndication affiliates in Michigan (WQBX - 104.9 FM) or Ohio (WWJM - 105.9 The Mix); if there's any new developments on that situation, we'll bring you the scoop right here. And of course, anyone outside the WLNK listening area can listen online (click the link above).
Our thanks go out to Neal and all the peeps at Lincoln Financial Radio for making this possible... Also thanks to Aunty Pam and Anthony for keeping in touch... And of course, you, the family members, for sticking with us for the last four months.
The agenda for the first show back this Saturday: well, it's Pam's birthday, and you know what that means... An all-joke show. So get those jokes ready.
Oh yeah - we've got a new site redesign: we've updated our site to give our bananas a little more "attitude". Hope you enjoy the new look. We decided that as long as there would be a Pam Stone Show V2.0, there might as well be a PamBanana.com V2.0.
You'll also notice a few new features, including a new Myspace page for the Pam Stone Show - not to be confused with our Myspace page... Go ahead and join both. The links are up top in the revamped "quick links" menu. Any links that may be missing from there have been moved to the side menu or the Links page.
And our site also has a new email address: mail@pambanana.com - when you click on the link, you'll notice there's a +NOSPAM+ in the email address. Simply remove that so it reads "mail@pambanana.com", write your message and send away. While this site isn't crazy popular, it apparently is with the spammers. We do appreciate your effort to contact us, and we especially appreciate your input. We're also looking to update the Mail page, so send us a good one. You might just see it printed on our website.
More updates later this week.
Meanwhile, in sports: Panthers win, thuhhhh Panthers win!
