Introducing: Greater Boston

Today in the feed we have what we believe to be one of the all time great audio fiction podcasts: Greater Boston. Greater Boston asks a simple question: what would happen if Boston's Red Line Subway seceded from the rest of the city and formed its own government? The answer is not quite so simple and the story that unfolds throughout the shows web of interconnected lives is both hilarious and deeply moving. We cannot recommend it highly enough! --- Greater Boston, Season 1, Episode 1 (Excerpt): Death on a Rollercoaster This week in Greater Boston, eldest brother Leon dies on a roller coaster in "Disaster Planning."
