If your love language is "stuff found by the side of the road," you're in luck. Otherwise, grab a horse-drawn carriage and brush up on your sonnets, because this week Josie is asking her listeners to dream bigger. Where are those big romantic gestures, and why do we crave them so much?

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.

Our callers this week included the talents of Tiffany Cornwell, Jacob Alden Roa, Patrick Harvey, and Elke Reid. This episode was edited by Aliza Brugger. Josie’s Lonely Hearts Club is brought to you by the Good Story Guild. Keep track of us on Instagram @goodstoryguild and join our Discord. If you enjoyed the show, consider leaving a review.

Nighty night, cuties.
