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!

From Episode 1: Family Riddles

Written and Produced by Alexander Danner and Jeff Van Dreason. Recording and technical assistance from Marck Harmon.

James Johnston as Dimitri Stamatis (he/him)

Kelly McCabe as Nica Stamatis (she/her)

Braden Lamb as Leon Stamatis (he/him)

Alexander Danner as The Narrator (he/him)

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!

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.

We'd like to introduce you to a wonderful new fantasy audio fiction series: Of Fae & Fiends.

Lizzie (10) returns to her ancestral home in Maine to make an amazing discovery: the woods behind the farmhouse contain a doorway to the mystical realm of Faerie. But a dark storm looms over the horizon of Fae: Lizzie’s Great-Uncle Carlow has enlisted a goblin army to conquer the World Tree, and has set his sights set on our world after… All that stands in Carlow’s way is Lizzie and her unlikely friends: a talking goat, and a swordfighting weasel.

Written and produced by audio drama pioneer Fred Greenhalgh (The Dark Tome, The Cleansed), Of Fae & Fiends is a Faerie Tale with teeth – a place where monsters sometimes eat children, but the courageous can fight back. A listening experience for the entire family (recommended ages 7+).

New episodes are dropping weekly! Look for "Fae and Fiends" wherever you get your podcasts, or visit faefiends.com.

Of Fae & Fiends, Episode 1 – Tapes in the Attic

Lizzie returns to her family’s ancestral farmhouse in rural Maine and discovers tapes in the attic that reveal an amazing family secret.
