If you're an Alba Salix listener, chances are you've at least heard of Greater Boston – in fact, you've probably heard some of the voices of Greater Boston, including its creators Jeff and Alexander as well as one of its characters.
Greater Boston follows the wild, improbable interweavings of family and infuriating co-workers and politicians and robot designers – not to mention a subway line that somehow manages to secede from the rest of the city.
The show's fourth season is now rolling out, and there's no better time to catch up or have a re-listen!

Presenting: Greater Boston

This week we're bringing you a preview of a brand new show from Roi Gold Productions, and one of the latest additions to the Fable and Folly Network: The Land Whale Murders!
Billed as "A Gilded Age Satire of Birders, Murders and a Missing Whale", the series is set in 1896 in New York, where a band of scientists called the Four Elementals find themselves battling evil and organized crime, in the form of Pirate Penny and the Blow Hole Gang – but things get strange fast, and then get even stranger even faster.
If you like your comedy fast, witty and totally absurd, with a side order of alternate-history romp, check out The Land Whale Murders anywhere you listen to podcasts – or visit landwhalepod.com.

THE LAND WHALE MURDERS
Chapter 1: Eel That Heaven Allows
The Four Elementals are drawn into the conspiracy and murder surrounding a force much bigger than themselves! -- a comedy!

May 2021 Alba Update and Behind The Scenes minisode!

This week, we're bringing you another new podcast we think you'll enjoy: The Wanderer.

If you take the roads through the forest, your soul will slowly wither.
If you cut through the forest, the forest will cut you back.
But to wander is to move through the natural pathways of the forest, to travel through its veins and follow its breathing.

The Wanderer is a queer fairy-folk tale audio drama, about being separated from the people we love to keep them safe.
Out now from award winning audio fiction producers T.H. Ponders (Accession, Open World) and Jordan Stillman (The Ordinary Epic). Visit CallOfTheWander.com.

Prelude – Three Paths
While sitting around a fire, The Wanderer tells of the three ways of traversing the forest – taking the cuts, or the roads and paths, bushwacking, and the oldest way – Wandering.
Credits
Written and performed by T.H. Ponders.
Produced by T.H. Ponders and Jordan Stillman.
