## Resource

[Subscribers get episodes a week early and ad-free!] "A monumental achievement!" - Lady in Rachel's pilates class "SUPERB!" - Maximilian's dog, Zana Few audiodramas capture the triumph of the human spirit as memorably as The Skankshaw Redemption.  Carla Lerner Montero and Rachel Music star in this remarkable episode based on the film based on the same Stephen King story collection that gave rise to  Stand By Me. Montero, who received a lot of forehead kisses and gratitude for this performance, plays Hayley Brenda "Brailey" Penelope Compote, a fraudster who knows what it takes to cope with the cattiness of Skankshaw Ladies' Prison. Music is new inmate Joanne Holtzinger, a quiet radio host indicted for murders she didn't commit. Brailey is sure the mild newcomer won't last a night before she cracks. But Brailey is wrong. Joanne's indomitable optimism earns Brailey's respect and friendship, and her knack for relationship advice brings better communication to the entire prison. Joanne, as it turns out, is full of surprises. And she saves the best for last, leading to one of the most satisfying audiodrama finales in the medium's history. If Season 2's finale moved you to tears... If "This is a Rented Horse!" challenged your preconceptions of scripted audio fiction... If "First Degree Birdslaughter" caused you to pull over to avoid a vehicular collision... The Skankshaw Redemption  is the parody nobody asked for, sure to delight listeners for years to come. Cuties in this Very Special Episode include: Dana DeRuyck, Geoff Grimwood, Hal Lublin, Lauren Shippen, Maximilian Clark, Laura Lee Walsh, Carla Lerner Montero, Lauren Grace Thompson, Madelyn Murphy, Miranda Warzel, Ashley Adler, Simone Kisiel, and James Urbaniak as Warden Gravies.   *** JOSIE'S LONELY…
