    3.3: Spring That Bear On Him

    Tonight, Josie the hellcat's a little extra fiesty. Blame it on the heat. The theme is taking things to the next step, and our callers deliver. Meet a venture capitalist with a heart, a pranker on the warpath, a spin instructor with a hair trigger, and one aggressively single Coloradan. Insurrection is brewing in the ranks - who will win the power struggle?


    Our callers this week included the talents of Ashley Adler, Walter Masterson, Matt Horn, and Chelsea Lang. Our story editor is Aliza Brugger.

    3.2: Once More Into Their Breeches

    There's been an historic shake-up at KDNM and Joanne is feeling the pressure. Heavy is the head that wears the cuties. Luckily Colorado is just as lovelorn as New Mexico as Josie greets her new constituents: a beer-goggled burglar, a sleep-deprived scribe, a history buff with a new baby, and a stone-cold hottie just looking for a little wetwork.


    The show was created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music. Our callers this week featured the talents of Miranda Warzel, Dana DeRuyck, Neill Fleming, Meghan Falcone, and Shawn Ahmed. Our story editor is Aliza Brugger.

    Josie Presents: Divorce Ranch

    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!

    2.8: Things Escalate. Limbs Are Thrown. (Season 2 Finale)

    Season Two finale. You better listen all the way to the end on this one, cuties.


    After a heaping helping of heartache, resident tough cookie Josie gives us a peak of that gooey, nougaty center. Joanne drops a few truths of her own. Along the way, we encounter a crooner in khakis (and a time loop), comfort a gal in love with a slob, and try to piece together a very, very dysfunctional proposal. If time allows, we might even hear from a return caller...


    Mark your calendars for July 3rd when we come hurtling back for Season Three! If you have ever wanted Josie to solve a quandary of the heart from YOUR life, just record her a voice memo and send that lil' beauty on over to [email protected] - Josie might just read it on air.


    Our callers included the talents of Shane Salk, Matt Mundy, Danielle Cohn and Carla Lerner Montero. Our story editor is Aliza Brugger.

    We've got some eggshells on the floor here at KDNM, and Our Lady of the Airwaves is in rare form. Between a spurned pyromaniac, a reverse harem, a boy-sober sadist, and a slam piece, Josie may finally help us uncover the meaning of love. Be sure to touch some grass today.
