About this episode
Tonight the Lonely Hearts get a lesson in self-love and embrace "me time" with both hands. We'll master dating soon enough, but until then our imaginations are on overdrive. Join Josie as we meet a pining monk, a captive improviser, and a bankrupt baker. Behind the scenes, Dr. Mark is becoming quite the nuisance to Joanne, who just can't catch a break today. Our callers included the talents of Mike Puckett, Marnina Schon, Jacob Alden Roa, and Katie Kleiger. 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 (Rachel Music, How Do They Bone?) 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 (Maximilian Clark, Superhuman Public Radio), while they navigate the pitfalls of love and fame as the show slowly becomes a national sensation. Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club is brought to you by the Good Story Guild. Keep track of us on Instagram @goodstoryguild and join our Discord.
