MORE ABOUT CANDY CLAUS:
***
Santa's bastard daughter solves hardboiled Christmas crimes on the North Pole in this half-hour audio comedy. Candy is a death-metal-loving, peppermint-schnapps-swilling PI trying to solve the North Pole’s first murder in 500 years without learning the true meaning of Christmas. A sendup of toxic positivity and prodigal homecomings, the show introduces characters like SANTA BLOB (a deformed snowman built as a surrogate Santa Claus), MOPPET (a gingerbread man baker conscripted as a pathologist) and GUMDROP THE WINTER SQUID (a Krampus-esque calamari committing unspeakable acts on the seafloor).

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.

Season Five is here, and with it …comes scandal. Not for Josie, no way, but for a national show at KBXV. The time is ripe for a regime change…can the Lonely Hearts nab that precious drivetime slot? If Frank and Joanne want to impress those execs, they’ll need more than a foolproof plan. They’ll need a scheme-proof plan. Look alive, cuties, there are nefarious forces at work. Our favorite dynamic duo will need to outwit new foes while they catch up with old friends. We welcome back callers to ask, “Where Are They Now?” “How Have You Been?” and, “Is That Covered By Your NDA?” Check in with some of your favorites from episodes past and buckle up for the most surprising season yet.

Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club was created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music. Our cuties this week included Tiffany Cornwell, Tristin Miller, Laura Lee Walsh, Pat Harvey, Jessie Cannizzaro, and Ross Bryant. Produced by Simone Kisiel and Alexandra Grunberg. Executive Produced by Good Story Guild.

5.1 Uterine Sabotage!

Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club is a semi-improvised audio drama set in the studio of New Mexico’s 3rd-best romantic advice call-in show. On-air, listeners eavesdrop as Josie (Rachel Music, How Do They Bone?) squares off against top improvisers and her engineer Frank (Maximilian Clark, Superhuman Public Radio). Each episode’s off-air vignettes chart her journey from melancholy Joanne Holtzinger to nationally syndicated sensation Josie Heller. What results is an often hilarious and surprisingly human show exploring the risks we idiots take every time we fall in or out of love.

Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club was created by Maximilian Clark and Rachel Music. Our story editor is Aliza Brugger. This show is brought to you by the Good Story Guild. Keep track of us on Instagram @goodstoryguild and at goodstoryguild.co
