In a class of its own

This is a wonderful time audio drama, as there are so many incredibly creative shows out there. Greater Boston is in a class of its own. The world they've created is so specific and elaborate, yet full of whimsy and hidden surprises that it feels at times like one of the great American seriocomic novels, like The World According to Garp or A Confederacy of Dunces. But don't let the high literary praise put you off, the show is totally accessible, and comfortable - like your favorite pair of shoes. If you don't immediately "get it", I'd recommend giving it a few episodes and just enjoying the oddball characters and clever dialogue - I suspect you'll find that like any good novel, it will start to draw you in, revealing only a bit of its design at a time. And once you're in - wow.
