Josie's Lonely Hearts Club

Oh behave, cuties! Joanne is coming to the nation live from KBXV headquarters and has to be on her best behavior. With a change of scenery, Jo is performing for a whole new crowd, with a whole new set of rules. Can she keep her cool around weapons-grade hottie Dr. Mark? Or will her conscience spill out like so many heaving breasts unlaced in a moment of passion? Meet an Oklahoman speaking in code, a workplace flirtation gone flat, a teaching tool with unintended consequences, and a filthy little shame-pig.

Our cuties this week included Al Pagano, Laura Holliday, Ashley Adler, Shane Snider, Chris Gebauer, Hunter Shelburne, Hal Lublin, and Ross Bryant as Dr. Mark.

Night night, cuties.

Throw open the windows and air the place out -- after all that nonsense last week, it's time to get spruced up for that national slot. Nothing to worry about here, and anyone who says otherwise needs their mouth washed out. In fact, let's give the whole show a thorough scrubbing. In this sparkling episode, you'll meet a grandson with a housing problem, a snoop who likes it raw, a janitorial two-timer, and a very raunchy germaphobe.

This week's cuties included Ross Bryant, Caitlin Carleton, Ross Childs, Cali Daby, Meghan Falcone, Hal Lublin, Carla Lerner Montero, and Brendan Sokler.

It's real and amazing. Go check it out, it's ad-free!]

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. Written by Gesley Alexis, Anna Nuria Francino, Chris Murphy, Matty Pipes, and Connor Pritchard. Starring Kyle Prue as Xander, Nicole Kang as Kat, and Christopher Gebauer as Coen. Special Guests John Ales, Jacqueline Landgraf, Anthony Misiano, Mather Zickel, Neill Fleming, and James Urbaniak as Hobart Frunk.

Brush up your Shakespeare and Feed the Birds, this week we try to class the joint up a little. We're catching Joanne mid-glow-up, doing her best to be Our Fair Lady. Time is ticking down to Thanksgiving, and Fr--er, Pennybutt--seems even squirrellier than usual. In the spirit of impersonation, the show's theme is sweet little lies, and Josie navigates a bevy two-faced cuties. Meet a faux-dio clown, a wrestler with a dark and smelly past, a veracity-challenged individual, and perhaps the best (and definitely real-est) boyfriend ever!

How do you plead? Tonight's show is inspired by favors, and Frank is on his knees trying to coax Joanne into his scheme. Joanne gets settled in the catbird seat as Frank, the dog, learns to beg. Our cuties spin stories of tit for tat involving an x-rated chore wheel, a prowling cougar, a friend cashing in his IOU and handywoman ready to do some mounting.

Can someone put on a pot of coffee? After Ruby's reaction on Halloween, Frank is single and ready to mope. Scratch that: Frank is sloshed and ready to boot and rally. Joanne plays serious defense on and off air as the show explores breakups, leading to miscommunications of all stripes. Our testy twosome duke it out until a surprise visitor issues a summons they can't refuse. Meet a regretful billboard marketer, a wrong number gone wronger, a specter from seasons past, and an emoji archaeologist.

Spirits are high and spooky season is nigh -- let's scare up a few cuties for this special Halloween episode! This week Frank and Joanne are "exorcizing" their rights, driven to desperate measures to rid their studio of its meddlesome poltergeist. There's also a pretty fundamental costume mix-up, it'll take more than a sugar cube to butter up Ruby this time. Meet a forgetful barfly channelling Karloff, a mistaken identity that might get murderous, a hottie lost on a campsite, and one fella who's really been playing the (potter's) field.

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).

Get out your time sheets, this week we put the "work" in "quirky radio show." Frank and his girlfriend are locked in a job dispute and it's up to Joanne to keep the peace, somehow. Meanwhile, we meet a crematorium owner whose husband works the graveyard shift, a scientist with the worst ice breaker, a sandwich activist, and a scheme that seems a little ... pyramidal.

Season Frickin' Four. We almost can't believe it ourselves. Luckily, local celebrity Josie Heller is hitting her stride as a mover and shaker. On tonight's show, we meet a theatre critic, the face that launched a dozen ships, a bloodless craft-store coup, and one irksome brat who knows exactly what she's doing...

Things are jingle-bell rockin' for our season three finale! The station powers-that-be have declared a five-month block of holiday planning: O, holy night! August in New Mexico isn't very Christmassy, but that won't stop our Josie, no way. She's here to sleigh...ride. Encouraging us all to "just go with it," we meet a riffer getting mixed signals, a fan of the under-goat, a business-owner in distress, a blue-ribbon beau-chaser, and something of a hometown hero. You know the drill by now: listen to the very end ...
