Hi friends - Deej here with another show we wanted to share. SO ... I can tell you first of all that a huge number of the folks who make audio drama - including myself - made their way here via the theatre-kid pipeline. And I suspect a lot of our audience is the same. Were you a theatre kid? Did you want to be in theatre, on stage or behind the curtains or maybe building sets, props, costumes ... was that whole theatrical magic something that fascinated you? Well, theatrical magic is what we've ...

Hi folks, Deej here, and we've got another episode swap where we're introducing you to a show we think you should hear. Though honestly, I'm surprised if you haven't heard of this one! Greater Boston is one of the absolute juggernauts in the audio fiction sphere, and it's been one of my top listens since the very beginning. When I try to introduce it to someone new, I always wind up calling it Dickensian - not because it's a period piece, but because of the incredible scope of the story, the hei...
