[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] It’s come to this. The end. The end of the beginning. Which was before the first beginning. Before we go back to the end, now knowing how it all began, to begin…again…um… KDNM keeps it real tonight, and Frank and Joanne make each other a promise. Truth takes many forms, including a bog witch, an anthropomorphic cheetah, a Sri Lankan smokeshow named Barbarella, and unspeakably suggestive catchphrases. Speaking of catchphrases… Our cuties this week include Caitlin Carleton, Geoff Grimwood, Daniel Millhouse, and Beth May. Featuring John Dorsey IV as Greg Pebbles.   JOSIE'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB is a semi-scripted audio drama set in New Mexico’s 2nd-best relationship call-in show, created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] Now that Frank has met Joanne Holtzinger face-to-face, it threatens to come to fisticuffs. Everything is falling apart, including the ceiling holding that pregnant raccoon. While this week’s episode flounders, Frank is carping, and Joanne is fishing for solutions. She has to find her groove before Jo’s post-row low-flow mojo might mean no mo’ show. Uh-oh. Mind your turn signal etiquette as Joanne uses her trusty(?) old note-cards to help a cat hoarder enjoying the silent treatment, a twin in a time-share-lationship, a woman struggling to recapture the perfect breakup, and a restaurateur who wishes people would leave their issues at home. Our cuties this week include Walter Masterson, Molly Jones, Patrick Harvey, Caitlin Brockwell, and Jack Dorsey as Gregson Pebbles.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] Still reeling from the events of the car wash, Frank has a chip on his shoulder with Joanne’s name on it. Too bad he can’t find her. Josie, meanwhile, extolls the virtues of keeping your partner guessing, while our listeners revel in what 7th-grade English calls “dramatic irony.” Meet a vertically-challenged barkeep, a lady known for her ejaculations, a couple confounded by costumes, and someone trying to keep their partner’s lust Loch’d in.  Our cuties this week include Neill Fleming, Ashwini Ganpule, Hal Lublin, and Annie Savage.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] It’s the annual KDNM car wash fundraise-a-ganza AND the annual Madrid Library Bake Sale…on the same day. Remember JP the Maitre D’ and all that Madame Doubtfire nonsense? Foreshadowing, fools! Jo is twice as nice at the station and the library in a two-faced display of Janusian proportions. Between the Lonely Hearts, library denizens, and Margie, expect enough hijinks to go back for seconds. You’ll meet a role play enthusiast, a wife whose marriage is having a Renaissance, a pastry pander, and someone who needs a “piece-a piece-a” Josie’s mind.  Our cuties this week include Hal Lublin, Annie Savage, Geoff Grimwood, and Caitlin Carleton. Ashwini Ganpule as Marjorie Romesh, Jack Dorsey as Greg Pebbles, and Becca Lustgarten as Charli.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] Two’s company, three’s a crowd, four is a huge mess. Especially when two of those people are Joanne. As Frank’s new relationship creates a regular rhombus of complications for Joanne, Josie looks at group dynamics in all their many shapes. This week, she faces an overwhelmed maid of honor, a boyfriend feeling crowded out by his social butterfly, a husband dealing with his wife’s credit poaching, and a young girl conducting carnal acts that can only be described as “supersonic” (this is not nearly as sexy as it sounds).  Our cuties this week include Neill Fleming, Ashwini Ganpule, Jess Nurse, Patrick Reidy, and a special appearance by Becca Lustgarten as Charli.  JOSIE'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB is a semi-scripted audio drama set in New Mexico’s 2nd-best relationship call-in show, created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] Josie Heller has never heard the words “Ho Era” back-to-back, but something in the air is making everyone want a little front-to-front. Meet a Woman in the middle of a marathon, a man who doesn’t want to slip into something a little more comfortable, a serial monogamist looking to break the cycle, and an Amish gal looking to make the most of her Rumspringa. Even Frank has a little lady (who might be the perfect distraction from his mission to expose Josie’s secret).  Our cuties this week include Anjali Khurana, Ross Childs, Beth May, and Daniel Milhouse.

Tonight’s show is occupying the sensitive spots between our ears, and Josie puzzles out some of the southwest’s erotic enigmata.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] This week, we put the “Bravo” in “Bravecto” as the battle of wills between Josie and Frank takes a turn for the itchy. A ficus fern (and you) are the only living witnesses to the fabled Wormageddon 2022. The competition oozes onto the airwaves as callers share stories of one-upping and tiptoe into the deep end of the dirty pool. We encounter an accountant who’s just learned the skinny, a couple embroiled in a love-off, a man who can’t wedlock until he warlocks, and a motocross maven with thirteen school buses between her and victory.  Our cuties this week include Hal Lublin, Madelyn Murphy, Ashley Adler, and Peter Corey.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] Realizing they are stuck with one another, Josie and Frank change the rules of engagement; now volume isn’t the only dynamic shifting between them. Too bad every plan has a few kinks in it. Power exchange becomes our theme - you like your subs topped with cheese? You perverts. Meet a voyeur with the wrong square footage, recumbent royalty, somebody with in-SIR-mountable issues, and a bookworm with a very inconvenient reading list.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] Keep your peepers peeled, because there are traitors about! Turncoats of all shapes are coming out of the woodwork, and the callers are on high alert. Josie and Frank have the same idea, but different solutions. Nothing Greg Pebbles can’t fix, though, no sir-ee.  Meet a bagel maven who can’t stomach the competition, a TikTok trend that’s all in the family, a gal who is neither the brains nor the Braun, and somebody who doesn’t own a cat.

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] This week, we tear up the notecards and light all thirty-some scented candles at once: It's Valentine's Day at KDNM!
