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. 


Our cuties this week include Geoff Grimwood, Carla Lerner Montero, Jessie Cannizzaro, Hal Lublin, Frank Romeo, Dana DeRuyk, Ashley Adler and Chris Gebauer.

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

Our cuties this week included Sarah Allyn, Al Pagano, Laura Lee Walsh, Walter Masterson, Carla Lerner Montero, Ross Child, Anthony Misiano, Madelyn Murphy, Kyle Prue, Abigail Turner, and Ross Bryant as Dr. Mark Hall.

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.

Mind your P's and Cuties, because today KDNM is under the magnifying glass.  There's a private investigator sniffing around the studio, up close and very, very personal. 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.

Our cuties this week included Al Pagano, Laura Holliday, Ashley Adler, Shane Snider, Chris Gebauer, Hunter Shelburne, Hal Lublin, and Ross Bryant as Dr. Mark.

Night night, cuties.

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.
