Today we're presenting a new show from Realm.

Dark Heights.

A small California town— and three people within it— become the targets of an ancient evil.

Tess Bellamy’s return home is anything but triumphant. She’s decided Hollywood isn’t for her, resigned to a normal life of caring for her ailing mother. Linna Severand would be a powerful sorceress...if she could escape her family’s mansion, and usurp their control of her magic. Gabriel Majeaux once tried to save the world from evil. Now he’s the last of his kind, moving from place to place to avoid detection.

After a series of horrifying events, their lives collide...and if they aren’t prepared, it’s unlikely they’ll survive.

Created and written by CD Miller. Narrated by Dion Graham, Julia Whelan, and Neil Hellegers.

Hey Pals, We’ve been pretty hard at work behind the scenes writing season 5 of Greater Boston, but while we don’t have anything to officially announce quite yet, we’re excited to introduce you to another podcast we loved: Metra, a Climate Revolution with Songs by married couple team Emily & Ned Hartford. 

Metra E1 - Let the Story Begin

Meet the Tree Nymph Chorus. Don't worry, they'll guide you through the story. 

We begin at the end, in 2045--facing down a line of armed security forces at the edge of the Bubbles. And then, we jump back to 2015 and a remote Greek island. An ancient tree nymph recruits the central player in her climate revolution. They begin a dangerous journey.

"Back to the Past"

"Cori, Come Near"

"Cascade"
