Bert has the greatest facial expressions of any muppet ever. I wish we could make Bert a Greater Boston character.

Hello - Jeff here.

The first single from The Perfect Sentence is here on Spotify, Apple Music, and wherever you get your music (except physically and on Band Camp - that's to come later). It's called Fortune Cookies.

The Perfect Sentence will be released on July 11th. It's an audio fiction concept album about...a lot, but mostly inspired by a pivotal friendship I had early in life, and how I dealt with the friend dying years after we were estranged.

When will we have next season??? Pls I'm begging

I can't say exactly when, but I can say that we are actively working on it and it will happen. At best, later this year. At worst, next year.

It will be the final season and it's going to be very similar to Season 1.

He decided to keep it just as Chuck Octagon because Mallory convinces him he can’t fuck with his brand. But his heart is all Octagon-Wood.

Chuck Octagon (noun) - The silly little noir detective of news reporters, found in the Greater Boston area and sometimes an alternate universe Worcester. Also known as Chuck Octagon-Wood or Chuck Wood-Octagon (I forgot which one he went with)

Tanja Milojevic is one of the actors I looked up to when I started listening to AD, so working with her has been a dream. She's been involved with every AD under the sun, but is particularly known for her work on VAST Horizon, Edict Zero, and @greaterboston. Tanja is an absolute gem and we are so happy to have her back for S2!

Please yall does anybody have audio drama recommendations I need something new to listen to

So far I've: listened to malevolent, am halfway through wtnv, almost caught up on red valley, started and didn't like/continue TMA and camp here and there

Really into horror but thrillers are also great, and I love the absurdism in wtnv and camp here and there but I know that's a lot more niche lol

fandom should listen to Greater Boston because they would go insane for Michael&Leon. I know it because i'm the shipper person every fandom intellectual look down upon, and i went insane for Michael&Leon.

also the girls. like people are always saying oh we want complex messy girls. Greater Boston has a whole huge big bag of those. Like. You hear about Nica and Charlotte and Gemma so early on.

And yes, the story is insane, and sad, and funny, and impossible to describe because I genuinely don't feel "what if someone took the wild idea of turning public transport into a city and went for it" is ENOUGH to describe Greater Boston, and I get frustrated about my inability to sell it to people.

So i have to come back to my roots as The Shipper. There is a character for every flavour of character you like in Greater Boston, and there is a ship for everyone. Come on. Listen to it. You don't even have to SHIP people to like it because actually there is so little romance, in canon, beyond the married ladies and Louisa's dating life and the wreck that is Emily and Ethan.

did i mention the Stamatis yet. it has the Stamatis. Dont you love doomed siblings.

Light up the recs!

I am once again asking the audio fiction gods for recommendations as I need to fill the Midnight Burger size hole that has appeared in my life.

All time faves are Wolf 359 (and all things Gabriel Urbina), Midnight Burger, Ars Paradoxica, Greater Boston, Victoriocity, The Pasithea Powder, Unwell, Tides, Camlann

I'm currently slowly catching up with Amelia Project but I need a new obsession

Whilst I like horror, I've struggled to get into the top faves at the moment so I think I'm looking more for sci-fi or weird speculative fiction.

What a lineup!

Please welcome Jordan Cobb, Kristen DeMercurio, Felix Trench and Zach Valenti to the Arden family.

[greaterblogston]

I've got something new coming very soon: http://www.exercisesinsound.com Based on Raymond Queneau’s Exercises in Style (1947) and Matt Madden’s 99 Ways to Tell a Story: Exercises in Style (2005, also based on Queneau), this takes the idea and applies to it audio storytelling. It’s one scene, reimagined over and over. 99 times, perhaps?

Amazing. It better be shipped through an intricate tube system, though.

literally criminal that these are fifty+ dollars grrgrrgrgrr
