Greater Boston is a bi-monthly full-cast audio drama that blends the real and the unreal, the historical and the fantastical. It all begins with the death of Leon Stamatis, a man for whom the least hint of uncertainty makes life unbearable. But by leaving the world, he has irrevocably changed it.
Greater Boston is written and produced by Alexander Danner and Jeff Van Dreason.
A production of ThirdSight Media LLC.
