Josie's Lonely Hearts Club

On-air, Josie Heller mends the broken hearts of a weekly collection of hilarious improvisers. 

Off-air, listeners eavesdrop on the life of Josie’s secret identity: hapless, neurotic Joanne Holtzinger, as she and her producer Frank navigate the pitfalls of love and fame.

Josie's features Dropout’s Ross Bryant, Hannahpocalypse’s Abigail Turner, Civilized’s Kristi Bolton, Jessie Cannizzaro of Leylines, Kyle Prue, Hal Lublin and James Urbaniak. Their new story editor is Fawx & Stallion’s own Lauren Grace Thompson.

In this extra-special tandem episode, Josie and Dr. Mark lead a dual advice panel at none other than C.R.U.S.H. that tests their working relationship in more ways than one. Along for the ride are a bard with equestrian troubles, a co-parrot-parent, a greasy skink-girl, and someone who's looking for love in all the wrong shelters.

Callers included the talents of Miranda Warzel, Neill Fleming, Dana DeRuyck, and Meghan Falcone. Featuring Shawn Ahmed as Dr. Mark. Story editor: Aliza Brugger.

Presenting: The Kingmaker Histories

Episode 3: Remedial Haggling

Hey Friends! This week, we’re excited to share a fantastic steampunk fantasy fiction podcast that we adore, The Kingmaker Histories, produced by We Are Not Alone and created by our friend Meg Molloy Tuten.

Set in a fictional European republic in the years leading up to World War One, The Kingmaker Histories follows an assistant tailor named Colette who becomes the unwitting host for a deadly alien power source- the Kingmaker Diamond. Hunted by a host of enemies who wish to use her powers for their own gain, Colette's only hope is to join up with a pair of career criminals and embark on a bizarre road trip, smuggling and thieving across Belle Epoque Europe as she seeks to get rid of her lethal new head-mate.
