Being in prison can't keep Joanne off the air. Josie's Captive Hearts Club is as close to her real show as Brailey Smindlesoon can make it. Whatever that's worth. Warning: This episode has a lot of raunchy smut in it, but it also has a pretty good Sam Elliot impression so it's up to you whether you listen to this one with your parents or not. Cuties in this Very Special Episode include: Carla Lerner Montero, Danny Gavigan, Hal Lublin, Lauren Shippen, Madelyn Murphy, Mark Gagliardi, Miranda Warzel, Ashley Adler, Jenny Schumacher and James Urbaniak as Warden Gravies. *** JOSIE'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB is a semi-scripted audio drama set in New Mexico’s best relationship call-in show created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music.

"A monumental achievement!" - Lady in Rachel's pilates class "SUPERB!" - Maximilian's dog, Zana Few audiodramas capture the triumph of the human spirit as memorably as The Skankshaw Redemption. Carla Lerner Montero and Rachel Music star in this remarkable episode based on the film based on the same Stephen King story collection that gave rise to Stand By Me. Montero, who received a lot of forehead kisses and gratitude for this performance, plays Hayley Brenda "Brailey" Penelope Compote, a fraudster who knows what it takes to cope with the cattiness of Skankshaw Ladies' Prison. Music is new inmate Joanne Holtzinger, a quiet radio host indicted for murders she didn't commit. Brailey is sure the mild newcomer won't last a night before she cracks. But Brailey is wrong. Joanne's indomitable optimism earns Brailey's respect and friendship, and her knack for relationship advice brings better communication to the entire prison. Joanne, as it turns out, is full of surprises. And she saves the best for last, leading to one of the most satisfying audiodrama finales in the medium's history. If Season 2's finale moved you to tears... If "This is a Rented Horse!" challenged your preconceptions of scripted audio fiction... If "First Degree Birdslaughter" caused you to pull over to avoid a vehicular collision... The Skankshaw Redemption is the parody nobody asked for, sure to delight listeners for years to come. Cuties in this Very Special Episode include: Dana DeRuyck, Geoff Grimwood, Hal Lublin, Lauren Shippen, Maximilian Clark, Laura Lee Walsh, Carla Lerner Montero, Lauren Grace Thompson, Madelyn Murphy, Miranda Warzel, Ashley Adler, Simone Kisiel, and James Urbaniak as Warden Gravies. *** JOSIE'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB is a semi-scripted audio drama set in New Mexico’s 2nd-best relationship call-in show created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music.

Grab the Dramamine and prepare to do a double-take as the Lonely Hearts Club is turned on its head. With Joanne behind bars, it's up to Frank to rescue tonight's episode and see our cuties through a topsy-turvy show that will test everything he's got. Can our favorite producer make the switch, or will he drown in dead air? On the way we meet a dad trading kickbacks for snack-packs, a wife who's trying to keep it in the family, a roadside damsel, and a butler eager to be both upstairs and downstairs. Our cuties this week included Laura Holliday, Al Pagano, Dana DeRuyck, Geoff Moonen, Jessie Cannizzaro, Abigail Turner, John Dorsey IV, and Ross Bryant as Dr. Mark.

It's mid-season tidings, cuties and we know you're as interested in the inner workings of the criminal justice system as any fan of light rom-com audio fiction, so we're giving you a peek at the voicemail of Public Defender for Santa Fe, who recently picked up a new client. Our cuties this week include Geoff Grimwood, Carla Lerner Montero, Jessie Cannizzaro, Hal Lublin, Frank Romeo, Dana DeRuyk, Ashley Adler and Chris Gebauer. JLHC was created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music. It's produced by Simone Kisiel and Alexandra Grunberg. It's brought to you by the Good Story Guild. Keep track of them on Instagram @goodstoryguild and join our discord. Are you reading all of this? Cool. We like reading. Read any good books? Tell us about them. Also we're doing a Q&A at the end of the season so you can ask us questions for it and we'll answer them. Gosh still reading? I just watched the beginning of Con Air for free on Youtube and it is wild. Army Ranger Nic Cage comes back from a tour of duty and returns to his girlfriend who is just a little bit pregnant (and it's his?! Math not mathing), but then this guy at the bar is like, hmm. pregnant woman hugging her Army Ranger husband, I better try to hit on her STAT. He does not take no for an answer and also blames cowards like Nic Cage for losing Viet Nam and walks off. But then later, in the parking lot he and his friends jump Nic Cage with a knife and so Nic Cage punches one of them real hard and he dies. Then his lawyer is like "plead guilty it's the only way" and the judge is like "You're a soldier, so you're going to jail for 7 years because you are too dangerous." 7 years! Nic Cage's lawyer in this movie is better than Joanne's.

We don't want to rattle your cage, cuties, but this episode puts us behind bars. Without the Bobby billions to bail him out, the thin blue line is making a big fat example out of our beloved Frank. Just wait until Bobbi hears about this...Faced with his incarceration, Joanne and Ruby make a tenuous alliance to clear his name. Mia, fresh off her disastrous crash, is taking the case as personally as ever and steaming up the evidence locker. We have good cops, bad cops, worse lawyers, and no mineral water. Something has got to give. Our cuties this week included Geoff Grimwood, Jessie Cannizzaro, Amanda Sykes, Neill Flemming, Mark Gagliardi, Abigail Turner, and Ross Bryant as Dr. Mark Hall.

Lights! Camera! Anguish! It's Josie Heller's national debut, and while KBXV is rolling out the red carpet, Joanne is trying to keep her secrets under the rug. Today, she meets the press and feels the squeeze. The PR machine is grinding to life, and our lovable duo need to be firing on all cylinders or be crushed beneath its gears.

Pack a picnic basket of caviar and dino nuggies, today we're on a field trip out of the studio! While Josie appeals to our kinder nature, Ruby finally listens to the show. She's covering her bases (and Frank's butt), until a Reagan-sized opportunity appears. The closer Mia gets to the truth, the more danger the whole gang finds themselves in. On-air, we have a marriage of corporate convenience, a helicopter mom who probably actually uses a helicopter, a girl looking for a real lifesaver, and the belle of the Bodyguard's Ball.

Head over to the feed now and get hooked on this sharp new series. In Media Res: A Hollywood Odyssey in Five Acts When Alex Eli (Kyle Prue) is plucked from obscurity and offered the role of franchise megalith Jack Stellar, booking the gig is only the beginning. In a whirlwind week of media training, he is thrust into the deep end of shark-infested Malibu waters. As he’s broken down and molded into "Xander Eli," he can’t tell who to trust. There’s the agent who needs him. The director who mentored him. The father who abandoned him. Loyalties are tested as the clock runs down to Xander’s livestreamed reveal. When the cameras start rolling, who will be at his side…and will he even be himself anymore? Best enjoyed with headphones. Directed by Rachel Music. Written by Gesley Alexis, Anna Nuria Francino, Chris Murphy, Matty Pipes, and Connor Pritchard. Starring Kyle Prue as Xander, Nicole Kang as Kat, and Christopher Gebauer as Coen.

We hope you're sitting down for this - the KDNM family just got a little smaller, and Josie decides to turn the show into a remembrance ceremony. Plus, Frank's being kind of squirrelly. What's that about?

Things are jingle-bell rockin' for our season three finale! The station powers-that-be have declared a five-month block of holiday planning: O, holy night! August in New Mexico isn't very Christmassy, but that won't stop our Josie, no way. She's here to sleigh...ride. Encouraging us all to "just go with it," we meet a riffer getting mixed signals, a fan of the under-goat, a business-owner in distress, a blue-ribbon beau-chaser, and something of a hometown hero. You know the drill by now: listen to the very end ... Our callers this week included the talents of Shane Snider, Tiffany Cornwell, Chris Gebauer, Jenny Curtis, and Shawn Ahmed.

Before a whirlwind vacation, Joanne helps Frank pick something for the cuties to listen to... Now out from the Good Story Guild: Divorce Ranch! Season one is now complete. June 1949. Heiress Mitzi Ballantyne has gone missing during her "Reno-vation" at the Sidewinder Resort. Detective Francis O'Connell, a Bible-toting bloodhound, would rather be at his Ma's sickbed. Instead, he steps off the train and into a den of liberated ex-wives who test his every nerve. Crooked cops, runaways, and divorcees collide in a female-forward, "west-of-center" take on the classic noir. After the pilot, pick up this six-part mystery wherever you listen to your podcasts! *** Created by Rachel Music. Showrunning by Michi Broman and Elena Christina Wagoner.
