Don't Date Murderers
A mystery comedy. JoJo Putty vets the new partners of people who suspect the worst, one podcast episode at a time. She is very good at spotting red flags. She is much worse at her own life.
JoJo Putty runs a podcast for anyone who thinks their new partner might be hiding something. She interrogates the partner, pulls their story apart on tape, and tells her listener whether to stay or run. She is rarely wrong. The red flags are almost always there if you know where to look.
JoJo knows where to look because of what happened when she was eight. Her mother, Violet, killed her father in self-defence. JoJo still isn't sure which parent she's grieving.
A funny, suspicious, dangerous show about reading people, trusting no one, and the very thin line between caution and obsession.
Everyone's guilty of something, you're just ignoring the signs.
JoJo Putty's words, not ours
A Mystery Comedy · Funny. Suspicious. Dangerous.
