Josie's Lonely Hearts Club

Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club is a semi-improvised audio drama set in the studio of New Mexico’s 3rd-best romantic advice call-in show. On-air, listeners eavesdrop as Josie (Rachel Music, How Do They Bone?) squares off against top improvisers and her engineer Frank (Maximilian Clark, Superhuman Public Radio). Each episode’s off-air vignettes chart her journey from melancholy Joanne Holtzinger to nationally syndicated sensation Josie Heller. What results is an often hilarious and surprisingly human show exploring the risks we idiots take every time we fall in or out of love. Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club was created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music. Our story editor is Aliza Brugger. This show is brought to you by the Good Story Guild.

Before a whirlwind vacation, Joanne helps Frank pick something for the cuties to listen to... Now out from the Good Story Guild: Divorce Ranch! Season one is now complete. June 1949. Heiress Mitzi Ballantyne has gone missing during her "Reno-vation" at the Sidewinder Resort. Detective Francis O'Connell, a Bible-toting bloodhound, would rather be at his Ma's sickbed. Instead, he steps off the train and into a den of liberated ex-wives who test his every nerve. Crooked cops, runaways, and divorcees collide in a female-forward, "west-of-center" take on the classic noir. After the pilot, pick up this six-part mystery wherever you listen to your podcasts! Created by Rachel Music. Showrunning by Michi Broman and Elena Christina Wagoner. Sound Design by Lauren Cooper, Music by Michelle Sudduth, Recorded, Mixed, and Mastered by Evan Chambers, Produced by Simone Kisiel, Executive Produced by the Good Story Guild.

Relax, while Josie goes to Hollywood. Or at least, she tells us about the new Hollywood drama from the Good Story Guild from the comfort of her booth. Head over to the feed now and get hooked on this sharp new series.  In Media Res: A Hollywood Odyssey in Five Acts When Alex Eli (Kyle Prue) is plucked from obscurity and offered the role of franchise megalith Jack Stellar, booking the gig is only the beginning. In a whirlwind week of media training, he is thrust into the deep end of shark-infested Malibu waters. As he’s broken down and molded into "Xander Eli," he can’t tell who to trust. There’s the agent who needs him. The director who mentored him. The father who abandoned him. Loyalties are tested as the clock runs down to Xander’s livestreamed reveal. When the cameras start rolling, who will be at his side…and will he even be himself anymore? Best enjoyed with headphones. Directed by Rachel Music.
