Clean out your crock pots, we're talking about slow burns this week. Our callers are simmering with stories of workplace romances, illicit love affairs, and romancing from a court-ordered 60 feet away. As people recount stories of finding love with the people they already know, Joanne and Frank talk about rocks, adrenaline, and fancy personal scooters. Stay tuned until the end to see a familiar face; you know how we do season finales by now!

Our callers this week included the talents of Ross Childs, Meghan Falcone, Pat Harvey, Taylor Coriell and Hannah Schooner. 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.
