Josie's Lonely Hearts Club On-air, Josie Heller mends the broken hearts of a weekly collection of hilarious improvisers.  Off-air, listeners eavesdrop on the life of Josie’s secret identity: hapless, neurotic Joanne Holtzinger, as she and her producer Frank navigate the pitfalls of love and fame. Josie's features Dropout’s Ross Bryant, Hannahpocalypse’s Abigail Turner, Civilized’s Kristi Bolton, Jessie Cannizzaro of Leylines, Kyle Prue, Hal Lublin and James Urbaniak. Their new story editor is Fawx & Stallion’s own Lauren Grace Thompson. In this extra-special tandem episode, Josie and Dr. Mark lead a dual advice panel at none other than C.R.U.S.H. that tests their working relationship in more ways than one. Along for the ride are a bard with equestrian troubles, a co-parrot-parent, a greasy skink-girl, and someone who's looking for love in all the wrong shelters. Callers included the talents of Miranda Warzel, Neill Fleming, Dana DeRuyck, and Meghan Falcone. Featuring Shawn Ahmed as Dr. Mark. Story edito
