In this feature, you can hear a preview of their first episode, which you can find the transcript for here. Learn more about the show at GreaterBostonShow.com.

Transcripts available at GreaterBostonShow.com We'll be back on the first Tuesday of next month with another mini-episode as we continue to work on Season 4.An update on our Patreon - we have decided to start it back up again and make it a monthly charge rather than a per creation charge for regular episodes. There are several reasons for this, including that we've expanded our writing team and are moving to pay actors per performance rather than after the season.The bottom line is, this show costs money to make and has become more expensive as we've grown, so for it to be sustainable, we need to bring in regular income to pay musicians, writers, staff, and actors year round.So, if you support us on Patreon, please keep an eye on changes in the beginning of June to the tiers. We are restructuring them and you'll need to select a new tier before July. Thank you for your continued support.
