About this episode
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. 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. Created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music. 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.
