“It was, after all, 1970. No Twitter, no websites, no email. Bags of fan mail five feet high arriving at the studio every day – no possible way to read or answer them.

It’s a very special day on The Dolls Pod! We are joined by editor of Tiger Beat magazine, NME columnist, and “Meow! My Groovy Life with Tiger Beat’s Teen Idols” author Ann Moses. She speaks about her groovy career, getting swept off her feet by a pop star or two, motherhood, a touch of Walt Disney magic, and finding her happily ever after. Ann is such a wonderful storyteller, you won’t want to miss this one!

We’re thrilled to present Ann Moses: In Her Own Words on the Dolls Pod, available wherever you stream your podcasts. Thank you Ann for sharing your stories and photos with us! 🐯
