Description
The Flame tells the story of two women: Jamie (Ellie Brigida), an LGBTQ bar owner, and Sam (Jasmin Savoy Brown), the woman selling the building the bar inhabits, and the inevitable sparks that end up flying between them! With the help of her best friend, Heather (Leigh Holmes Foster), and bar regular Jo (Jenn Colella), can the residents of The Flame keep the bar alive? Or can Sam’s friend Mel (Valerie Rose Lohman) help her work through her complicated feelings about her father’s death and the building she grew up in before she makes a rash decision?

Jamie (Ellie Brigida), the owner of the Flame, everyone's favorite LGBTQ bar, is having a rough day. It's the anniversary of when her proposal was rejected by her ex-girlfriend Rachel (Chilina Kennedy) and all she wants to do is marathon Buffy Season Six. But her best friend Heather (Leigh Holmes Foster) and the patrons of the Flame are always there to cheer her up. There's Jo (Jenn Colella), the divorce attorney who sleeps with most of her clients, Bridget (Vico Ortiz), who's always looking for new trivia team members and Jessica and Ashley (Liz Mongrello and Dana Piccoli) who just got back from their honeymoon and brought a postcard for the wall. And it looks like Jamie's luck might be turning around when Sam (Jasmin Savoy Brown) walks into the bar and makes Jamie forget all about Rachel. Join us at the Flame to see what happens next!

Support Journey to the Heart Here:
bit.ly/supportjourneytotheheart
In a world where everyone shares a tattoo with their soulmate, you'd think falling in love would be easy. Journey to the Heart follows three best friends as they go on an adventure of a lifetime. Albina, Babette, and Charlie are displeased with their soulmate tattoo, or lack of one, for different reasons, and this leads them to go on an adventure that will change their lives forever.
Journey to the Heart will also be the first "choose your own journey" podcast musical. The audience will get to decide where the story goes and your choices will influence what you hear in each episode. The alternate versions of the episodes that aren't released on our main feed will be released on our Patreon for those of you who have been supporting us consistently since the launch of the Flame and new Patrons who join for this season.
This season we'll be exploring the concept of soul mates. What does it mean to not have a soul mate? What does it mean to choose your own partner and choose your own adventure despite the path that was chosen for you? We're also exploring ethical non-monogamy in a world where you're told you only have one option and it's quite literally tattooed on your body.
