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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
