Josie's Lonely Hearts Club takes the familiar romantic woes of call-in radio and adds a touch of mystery, a bit of insanity, and a cast that creates a whole realized world of madcap New Mexico. The sound design is immersive and even the briefest character appearance leaves a strong impression. I feel like the writing, especially in Josie's story, gets stronger each episode, and I want to know what happens next in her life and how it will reflect on her callers. Great work Good Story Guild!
