Miller is often refered to on the show as 'Mama' (or 'Jiggles') by both listeners and her co-hosts. These numerous references can be heard in free bits on her website or by purchasing a "Stephcast" subscription(only $4.95 a month when you buy a year in advance.[SFX ding]) wherein users can download all of her shows for a monthly or yearly fee. She, and listeners, call her two co-hosts 'the Mooks'. Miller's program is widely popular (for example, she is ranked #2 in L.A. ^[12] She also stated that she beat the "Armstrong & Ghetty" radio program in San Francisco in her first ratings book. Part of her appeal to listeners is that she does not put herself above her listeners, and likes to share intimate details about her life, from something as simple to a household appliance not working to much more intimate details, about sweat, insomnia, and even what she calls "shy pee syndrome", which is actually paruresis. Many state her success is due to the fact that she tries to make her show entertaining, rather than just rant about politics for three hours, so she covers a great deal of celebrity news/gossip and off-the-wall stories. In regards to her physical characteristics, she frequently states that she has warts on her 'hammer toes' and that when she was younger, she once had a unibrow. She jokingly refers to her breast size - her phrasing, "lovely lady lumps", per a popular song - and her co-hosts state that they are small in comparison to fellow liberal talker Randi Rhodes' breasts. They do comment on what they feel is "Great Ass" There are some listeners who do not appreciate that kind of discussion on the radio, or celebrity news, and would much rather focus on what they deem important issues of the day. Miller frequently states that they do not have a sense of humor and says they are "stick up the butt liberals". Paruresis (IPA ), also known as pee shyness, shy kidney, bashful bladder, stage fright, or shy bladder syndrome is a type of social anxiety disorder, that can affect both men and women, in which the sufferer is unable to urinate in the (real or imaginary) presence of others, such as in...
