RADIO SHOW OF THE WEEK

  • "The Sheena and Sam Show!": Billed as the "Thelma & Louise" of the airwaves, Sheena Metal and ex-Penthouse Pet Sam Phillips host a girls' call-in slumber party for radio, dealing with relationships and life's travails from a candidly female perspective.
  • Where: KLSX-FM (97.1).
  • When: 7 to 9 p.m. Saturdays.
  • Typical topics: Worst dates, one-night stands, obsessive boyfriends, bad break-ups and ways to keep a guy interested.
  • Quote: "We're two guys trapped in girls' bodies."
  • Off the air: Sheena hosts, writes and produces cable TV's off-the- wall "Sheena Metal's Freakin' Rock Review" and fronts the '80s rock parody band Sheena Metal's Beer Bong, for which she sings and writes lyrics. Phillips is an actress-model.
  • Background: Sheena was a publicist and writer on the local rock scene. She also edited such independent films as "Witchcraft X" and penned articles for Rock City News and other magazines. In 1994, Sheena began hosting and producing "Sheena Metal After Midnight" on KIEV-AM (870), which ran for four years before she switched stations to co-host KLSX's "Nastyman Show." Phillips got her start as a teen model, appearing in numerous rock videos and frequently guesting on KLSX. She starred in Showtime's "Hot Springs Hotel" and adorned the cover of Penthouse in June 1993.
