Josie's Lonely Hearts Club

Josie's Lonely Hearts Club

Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club is a semi-scripted audio drama set in the studio of New Mexico’s 3rd-best romantic advice call-in show. On-air, listeners eavesdrop as Josie squares off against top improvisers and is only occasionally helped by her puckish engineer Frank. Off-air, witness her journey from melancholy Joanne Holtzinger to nationally syndicated sensation Josie Heller. What results is an often hilarious and surprisingly human show exploring the risks we idiots take every time we fall in or out of love. Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club was created by Maximilian Clark (Superhuman Public Radio) and Rachel Music. Our story editor is Aliza Brugger. This podcast is brought to you by the Good Story Guild (https://goodstoryguild.co/) . Keep track of us at goodstoryguild.co and stay cozy, cuties. Hosted by Ausha.

Tonight, Josie entices her listeners to take...it...slow...ly*. Sparked by a new addition to the KDNM squad, it's all about indulgence and languor.
