   Tonight, Josie entices her listeners to take...it...slow...ly*. Sparked by a new addition to the KDNM squad, it's all about indulgence and languor. Wander aimlessly with a guilt-riddled nonagenarian, a ghost-hunter stuck in the Friend Zone, a pastry chef with a toxic housemate, and one caller who just can't get enough of Josie. If you want to ask Josie a question or tell her a story about your own romantic troubles, send her a voice memo at audio@goodstoryguild.co - she might just play it on the air next season!
