Call the Lady Physician - “The War on Christmas!”

Written by Brandon L. Joyner 

Synopsis:

Step into the snowy streets of Budapest for a holiday adventure with Cliff Ryder, the ever-daring pilot, and Dr. Elise Banks, the unflappable Lady Physician. When their plane crash-lands far from their destination, the duo stumbles into a city on edge—where revolution’s aftermath has left children hiding beneath churches and soldiers on the hunt. Tasked with healing the sick and outsmarting a determined Major Stanev, Cliff and Elise must navigate icy catacombs, tense standoffs, and their own clashing personalities. 

Will courage and compassion be enough to keep the orphans safe through Christmas Eve, or will the shadows outside finally catch up with them? As the bells fall silent and danger closes in, how far will our heroes go to protect the innocent—and what awaits them in the mysterious telegram that arrives at dawn? 

Tune in to Call the Lady Physician and ask yourself: what’s their next move?

Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity! - “O Dunkeld, Where Art Thou?”

Written by Brandon L. Joyner 

Synopsis: 

Detective Jack Finger is back—and this time, the streets are quieter than ever. When the usually unflappable Captain Dunkeld disappears without a trace, Jack is left to navigate an empty precinct, a skeptical rookie, and a trail that leads straight into the heart of the city’s seedy underbelly. From the smoky corners of the Whistling Pigeon speakeasy to a showdown at an abandoned train factory, Jack’s sharp wit and stubborn streak are put to the test. As he tangles with smooth-talking gangsters and faces danger at every turn, Jack is determined to uncover what happened to his captain—even if it means bending a few rules along the way. But as the bullets start to fly and loyalties are tested, one question remains: Can Jack save the day before time—and his luck—runs out? Or is this one case even he can’t crack?

To Whom It May Concern… - “Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Pain!”

Written by Brandon L. Joyner 

When all seems lost, desperate souls turn to Adriana Agony—your Agony Aunt—for answers. In “Double Your Pleasure, Double Your Pain,” Adriana is drawn into the tangled affairs of the wealthy Lark family after Arabella Lark seeks help, suspecting her twin sister Seraphina’s tragic death was no accident. Teaming up with the sharp-tongued Inspector Cunningham, Adriana navigates a maze of sibling rivalry, shifting fortunes, and buried secrets at the overgrown Lark estate. As the investigation unspools, motives of greed and control come to light, culminating in a dramatic reveal where the true culprit is unmasked—and nearly claims another victim. With wit and wisdom, Adriana proves that no twin is truly a mirror, and that truth, however bitter, must be revealed. Join us for a richly atmospheric whodunit where every letter hides a story, every garden its thorns, and every answer is signed, To Whom It May Concern.

Alongside sharp-witted attorney Mia Caldwell, Jack must cut through lies, charm, and threats to uncover the truth. With every clue, the stakes climb higher, and the line between loyalty and betrayal grows razor-thin.

Step right up and tune in to Life With Elara, the swell new radio program that’s taking listeners on a real humdinger of a ride! Follow Elara Newman, a gal from way out in the cosmos, who’s packed her bags and landed right here on Earth. She’s hitched her wagon to Dean, a fine human gent, and together they’re tackling the topsy-turvy trials of mixing alien ways with earthly everyday living. Life With Elara shows us that no matter where you’re from, love and family are the bee’s knees. So don’t be a wet blanket! Join us for this show that’s out of this world!
