Josie's is proud to recommend Rudyard Ruins Everything, an Anniversary Special from the team at Wooden Overcoats. While your favorite big-footed heroine lies comatose, audio fiction's favorite sitcom resurrects their brother-sister mortician team for a four-part miniseries you'll adore. Enjoy yourselves!

Keep an eye out for Season 7, which will be a little different than you're used to; a bit less scripted, but no less zany.

Love, Mama Rachel and Papa Maximilian.

It’s come to this. The end. The end of the beginning. Which was before the first beginning. Before we go back to the end, now knowing how it all began, to begin…again…um…

KDNM keeps it real tonight, and Frank and Joanne make each other a promise. Truth takes many forms, including a bog witch, an anthropomorphic cheetah, a Sri Lankan smokeshow named Barbarella, and unspeakably suggestive catchphrases.

Speaking of catchphrases…

Our cuties this week include Caitlin Carleton, Geoff Grimwood, Daniel Millhouse, and Beth May. Featuring John Dorsey IV as Greg Pebbles.

Now that Frank has met Joanne Holtzinger face-to-face, it threatens to come to fisticuffs. Everything is falling apart, including the ceiling holding that pregnant raccoon. While this week’s episode flounders, Frank is carping, and Joanne is fishing for solutions. She has to find her groove before Jo’s post-row low-flow mojo might mean no mo’ show. Uh-oh.

Mind your turn signal etiquette as Joanne uses her trusty(?) old note-cards to help a cat hoarder enjoying the silent treatment, a twin in a time-share-lationship, a woman struggling to recapture the perfect breakup, and a restaurateur who wishes people would leave their issues at home.

Our cuties this week include Walter Masterson, Molly Jones, Patrick Harvey, Caitlin Brockwell, and Jack Dorsey as Gregson Pebbles.

Still reeling from the events of the car wash, Frank has a chip on his shoulder with Joanne’s name on it. Too bad he can’t find her. Josie, meanwhile, extolls the virtues of keeping your partner guessing, while our listeners revel in what 7th-grade English calls “dramatic irony.” Meet a vertically-challenged barkeep, a lady known for her ejaculations, a couple confounded by costumes, and someone trying to keep their partner’s lust Loch’d in. 

Our cuties this week include Neill Fleming, Ashwini Ganpule, Hal Lublin, and Annie Savage. John Dorsey IV as Greg Pebbles.

It’s the annual KDNM car wash fundraise-a-ganza AND the annual Madrid Library Bake Sale…on the same day. Remember JP the Maitre D’ and all that Madame Doubtfire nonsense? Foreshadowing, fools! Jo is twice as nice at the station and the library in a two-faced display of Janusian proportions. Between the Lonely Hearts, library denizens, and Margie, expect enough hijinks to go back for seconds. You’ll meet a role play enthusiast, a wife whose marriage is having a Renaissance, a pastry pander, and someone who needs a “piece-a piece-a” Josie’s mind. 

Our cuties this week include Hal Lublin, Annie Savage, Geoff Grimwood, and Caitlin Carleton. Ashwini Ganpule as Marjorie Romesh, Jack Dorsey as Greg Pebbles, and Becca Lustgarten as Charli.

Two’s company, three’s a crowd, four is a huge mess. Especially when two of those people are Joanne. As Frank’s new relationship creates a regular rhombus of complications for Joanne, Josie looks at group dynamics in all their many shapes. This week, she faces an overwhelmed maid of honor, a boyfriend feeling crowded out by his social butterfly, a husband dealing with his wife’s credit poaching, and a young girl conducting carnal acts that can only be described as “supersonic” (this is not nearly as sexy as it sounds). 

Our cuties this week include Neill Fleming, Ashwini Ganpule, Jess Nurse, Patrick Reidy, and a special appearance by Becca Lustgarten as Charli.

Josie Heller has never heard the words “Ho Era” back-to-back, but something in the air is making everyone want a little front-to-front. Meet a Woman in the middle of a marathon, a man who doesn’t want to slip into something a little more comfortable, a serial monogamist looking to break the cycle, and an Amish gal looking to make the most of her Rumspringa. Even Frank has a little lady (who might be the perfect distraction from his mission to expose Josie’s secret). 

Our cuties this week include Anjali Khurana, Ross Childs, Beth May, and Daniel Milhouse.

Slip into something a little more comfortable…like your thinking caps. Tonight’s show is occupying the sensitive spots between our ears, and Josie puzzles out some of the southwest’s erotic enigmata. Meet a couple riddled with brain teasers, an imposter of Dostoevskian proportions, someone who only wants quantum mechanics under her hood, and Craig, who is new in town. Support your local library!

This week, we put the “Bravo” in “Bravecto” as the battle of wills between Josie and Frank takes a turn for the itchy. A ficus fern (and you) are the only living witnesses to the fabled Wormageddon 2022. The competition oozes onto the airwaves as callers share stories of one-upping and tiptoe into the deep end of the dirty pool. We encounter an accountant who’s just learned the skinny, a couple embroiled in a love-off, a man who can’t wedlock until he warlocks, and a motocross maven with thirteen school buses between her and victory. 

Our cuties this week include Hal Lublin, Madelyn Murphy, Ashley Adler, and Peter Corey.

Realizing they are stuck with one another, Josie and Frank change the rules of engagement; now volume isn’t the only dynamic shifting between them. Too bad every plan has a few kinks in it. Power exchange becomes our theme - you like your subs topped with cheese? You perverts. Meet a voyeur with the wrong square footage, recumbent royalty, somebody with in-SIR-mountable issues, and a bookworm with a very inconvenient reading list.

Our cuties this week include Tris Miller, Brendan Sokler, Jen de Haan, and Gen Moonen.

Keep your peepers peeled, because there are traitors about! Turncoats of all shapes are coming out of the woodwork, and the callers are on high alert. Josie and Frank have the same idea, but different solutions. Nothing Greg Pebbles can’t fix, though, no sir-ee. 

Meet a bagel maven who can’t stomach the competition, a TikTok trend that’s all in the family, a gal who is neither the brains nor the Braun, and somebody who doesn’t own a cat.

This week, we tear up the notecards and light all thirty-some scented candles at once: It's Valentine's Day at KDNM! For those who observe, it's also the anniversary of Captain Cook's death at the hands of native Hawaiians.  It's NOT President's Day. You hear that, Frank? Not. President's. Day.

Josie and Frank's workplace romance may be doomed before it even gets off the ground, but the callers are still getting the best Tender Loving Cupidity Jo can offer. Meet a singing telegrammer, a very tall baby, and two—count'em, two!—really unfortunate blind dates.

What the flux capacitor? It's 2022, and we have transported back in time to Josie's first year at KDNM. The station is desperate for some new blood, and the feral horde of raccoons is ready to draw it. Fresh on the scene is our intrepid heroine...with absolutely no idea what she's doing. Surely Frank will be helpful, compassionate, and freshly showered.

Relive the worst meet-cute in radio history! Marvel at the sheer volume of notecards! Swoon as Greg Pebbles opens a Mexican Coca-Cola!

Our cuties this week (don't tell Josie that's what we call them) include Laura Lee Walsh,  Brendan Sokler, Joel Rainwater, Kristi Boulton, and John Nelson Dorsey IV as Greg Pebbles.

As it turns out, having a grand piano fall on your head is not good for you. Fortunately, Josie is receiving the best medical care Denver has to offer. Sit by Joanne's bedside as her loved ones and complete strangers tend to our sleeping beauty.

Last year's Hollywood drama, In Media Res, featured an ambitious scope and dynamite performances that landed the cast an Ambie nomination for Best Performance in Audio Fiction. But before they were famous, most of the cast called into the Lonely Hearts Club. These are our favorite Josie's moments with the Ambie nominated cast of In Media Res.

Season Six returns in two weeks, so now's the perfect time to head over to your podcatcher of choice to binge the whole feature-length series (with six original songs), currently AD-FREE from now until the Oscars.

Thank you, listeners, for all your support.

Discord/Patreon Links!

UPDATE: We forgot we could use the FTCH call from 5.4, so if you've listened to this episode once, you should go back and relive the joy of that one. 

Just for today, we are pivoting to infotainment! Pull up a chair and let the long-awaited answers wash over you as Maximilian and Rachel (moderated by our very own Jack Dorsey IV AKA Greg Pebbles) finally answer all the burning questions listeners have submitted. Questions like: what's a male cougar? Why are you all so dang cute? Is that really how you pronounce Madrid? Expect pointless segues, the circuitous history behind the making of Josie's Lonely Hearts Club, and a halfway decent Bobcat Goldthwait impression.

Season Six begins March 18th - but we still have one more surprise for you till then. Stay tuned. If you're still reading this, consider listening to our AMBIE-NOMINATED (oooooooh) limited series In Media Res - perfect for Awards Season, daddy issues, and pretending it's warmer outside.

At last, the subterfuge, violence, double-crosses, and scrotal injuries converge to their final shocking conclusion!

Expect white-knuckle action, seduction, and scandalous truths revealed as our heroine and her trusty reptilian companion (that's Horatio, not Frank) embark on the adventure of a lifetime.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

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. With so much at stake, the questions are mounting: where is Mia? Who is behind those coats? What is in Frank's cooler?

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. Our cuties this week include Patrick Harvey, Laura Lee Walsh, Tiffany Cornwell, Tristan Miller, Kyle Prue, Abigail Turner as Mia Columba and Jessie Cannizzaro as Ruby.

Joanne and Frank are sweating under the scrutiny, and not just because of their big secret. On air, meet a culinary cutthroat, someone dealing with a monster in the closet, an unsupported entrepreneur, and a serial pet-owner with a lot of explaining to do.

Oh behave, cuties! Joanne is coming to the nation live from KBXV headquarters and has to be on her best behavior. With a change of scenery, Jo is performing for a whole new crowd, with a whole new set of rules. Can she keep her cool around weapons-grade hottie Dr. Mark? Or will her conscience spill out like so many heaving breasts unlaced in a moment of passion? Meet an Oklahoman speaking in code, a workplace flirtation gone flat, a teaching tool with unintended consequences, and a filthy little shame-pig.

Throw open the windows and air the place out -- after all that nonsense last week, it's time to get spruced up for that national slot. Nothing to worry about here, and anyone who says otherwise needs their mouth washed out. In fact, let's give the whole show a thorough scrubbing. In this sparkling episode, you'll meet a grandson with a housing problem, a snoop who likes it raw, a janitorial two-timer, and a very raunchy germaphobe.

This week's cuties included Ross Bryant, Caitlin Carleton, Ross Childs, Cali Daby, Meghan Falcone, Hal Lublin, Carla Lerner Montero, and Brendan Sokler.

Relax, while Josie goes to Hollywood. Or at least, she tells us about the new Hollywood drama from the Good Story Guild from the comfort of her booth. 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.

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!

Spirits are high and spooky season is nigh -- let's scare up a few cuties for this special Halloween episode! This week Frank and Joanne are "exorcizing" their rights, driven to desperate measures to rid their studio of its meddlesome poltergeist. There's also a pretty fundamental costume mix-up, it'll take more than a sugar cube to butter up Ruby this time. Meet a forgetful barfly channelling Karloff, a mistaken identity that might get murderous, a hottie lost on a campsite, and one fella who's really been playing the (potter's) field.

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? When the lines open up, Josie pitches a novel to a murder suspect, counsels a paranormal throuple, audits a recent widow, and mediates a marriage bedeviled by daredevilry (that's very fun to say out loud - go ahead, try it).

Get out your time sheets, this week we put the "work" in "quirky radio show." Frank and his girlfriend are locked in a job dispute and it's up to Joanne to keep the peace, somehow.

Season Frickin' Four. We almost can't believe it ourselves. Luckily, local celebrity Josie Heller is hitting her stride as a mover and shaker.

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.
