Greater Boston
Alexander Danner & Jeff Van Dreason
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.
Presenting: Visionaries
Hey friends! We’re still slowly working our way toward bringing new Greater Boston minisodes to your feed, but in the meantime, we’re excited to introduce you to our friends over in Visionaries Audio Drama. Set in the year 2185, the world is distinguished by two races – the Visionaries and the Dead-eye slaves. The Visionary race is the next step in human evolution. They have unique eyes which endows them with special abilities. Humans unable to evolve are slaves to the Visionaries because of their powerless eyes. These Dead-eye slaves open rebellion against the Visionaries. Greater Boston fans will love Visionaries for its political intrigue, incredible ensemble cast, and utterly killer sound design. It’s a massive show with rich interpersonal relationships and deep worldbuilding thanks to creator and star Richard Seneque.  With two complete seasons under their belts, now is the perfect time to get into Visionaries. Take a listen to their first episode right here, right now, and go find them on the podcast player of your choice to marathon the rest! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Presenting: Ask Your Father
We’re excited to present your Ask Your Father, the new show from the great folks at Gideon Media. Lem, a human, and Mikey, an A.I., are piloting the first ever faster than light speed ship when they find themselves twice as far as they meant to go, and without any fuel for a return flight. The two of them communicate with Earth using tiny faster-than-light-speed drives, which carry information for Mikey and questions for Lem from his kids. As they work together to solve the problem, they forge a friendship that could change the course of human history, all while trying to answer the question “how did this happen?” And more importantly… “Why?” Learn more at Gideon-Media.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Presenting: Midnight Burger
Today we are pleased to present Midnight Burger. When Gloria took a waitressing job in a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn't realize she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with its staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar. No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. You can find Midnight Burger anywhere you listen to podcasts! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Presenting: Inn Between
Today we are presenting Inn Between! Inn Between is an adventure that takes place between adventures, wherein our five heroes (who may or may not be player characters in a fictional Dungeons & Dragons campaign) relax, regroup, and shoot the breeze in the conveniently located Goblin’s Head Inn. The show intentionally leaves details of the adventurers’ escapades to the imagination, with the only information provided to the listener in the form of “Previously On” and “Next Time On” segments at the beginning and end of each episode. This unique format allows for the kind of character development and team building that isn’t facilitated by the mechanics of most Actual Play podcasts (and even D&D campaigns themselves). You can learn more about Inn Between at https://www.thegoblinshead.com/. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
