In the spirit of impersonation, the show's theme is sweet little lies, and Josie navigates a bevy two-faced cuties.

Wed, 30 Oct 2024 04:00:00 -0000

Spirits are high and spooky season is nigh -- let's scare up a few cuties for this special Halloween episode!

There's also a pretty fundamental costume mix-up, it'll take more than a sugar cube to butter up Ruby this time.

4.3 A Woman is Dead, Joanne

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 04:00:00 -0000

We hope you're sitting down for this - the KDNM family just got a little smaller, and Josie decides to turn the show into a remembrance ceremony. Plus, Frank's being kind of squirrelly. What's that about? When the lines open up, Josie pitches a novel to a murder suspect, counsels a paranormal throuple, audits a recent widow, and mediates a marriage bedeviled by daredevilry (that's very fun to say out loud - go ahead, try it). Josie's was created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music. Our callers this week included the talents of David Lawson, Aria Tereza Salai, Nick Reinhardt and Avra Friedman.

Josie Presents: Divorce Ranch

Wed, 29 May 2024 07:00:00 -0000

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.
