Josie's Lonely Hearts Club

Clean out your crock pots, we're talking about slow burns this week. Our callers are simmering with stories of workplace romances, illicit love affairs, and romancing from a court-ordered 60 feet away. As people recount stories of finding love with the people they already know, Joanne and Frank talk about rocks, adrenaline, and fancy personal scooters. Stay tuned until the end to see a familiar face; you know how we do season finales by now! Our callers this week included the talents of Ross Childs, Meghan Falcone, Pat Harvey, Taylor Coriell and Hannah Schooner. Our story editor is Aliza Brugger. *** Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club is a semi-improvised audio drama set in the studio of New Mexico’s 2nd-best relationship call-in show. On-air, Josie mends the broken hearts of a weekly collection of hilarious improvisers. Off-air, listeners get to eavesdrop on the life of Josie’s secret identity: shy, unassuming Joanne Holtzinger. Join Joanne and her puckish producer Frank as they navigate the pitfalls of love and fame as the show slowly becomes a national sensation.

Grab a drumstick and sweeten your potatoes, because this week we're getting stuffed. Frank and Joanne arrive for their long-awaited Thanksgiving Day celebration and the tea -- and the gravy -- is piping hot. Meet Frank's family. That's it. No puns or wordplay, just ...Frank's family. Buckle up. The Good Story Guild is thankful for YOU this season! In less than a year, we have shared ups and downs and milk out our noses, and the gratitude is irrepressible. If you'd take a moment to review the show, or share us with someone you're thankful for, we can keep this virtuous cycle of goofs and love going strong. Our cuties this week are Kyle Prue, Sarah Ellis, Amanda Sykes, Frank Romeo, Johnny Pirkis, Jennifer Jiles, Martin Olson, River Romeo and Grace Gladstone. *** Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club is a semi-improvised audio drama set in the studio of New Mexico’s 2nd-best relationship call-in show.

Brush up your Shakespeare and Feed the Birds, this week we try to class the joint up a little. We're catching Joanne mid-glow-up, doing her best to be Our Fair Lady. Time is ticking down to Thanksgiving, and Fr--er, Pennybutt--seems even squirrellier than usual. In the spirit of impersonation, the show's theme is sweet little lies, and Josie navigates a bevy two-faced cuties. Meet a faux-dio clown, a wrestler with a dark and smelly past, a veracity-challenged individual, and perhaps the best (and definitely real-est) boyfriend ever! This week's callers included Al Pagano, Laura Holliday, Ashley Adler, and Brendan Sokler.

How do you plead? Tonight's show is inspired by favors, and Frank is on his knees trying to coax Joanne into his scheme. Joanne gets settled in the catbird seat as Frank, the dog, learns to beg. Our cuties spin stories of tit for tat involving an x-rated chore wheel, a prowling cougar, a friend cashing in his IOU and handywoman ready to do some mounting.
