Theatrical, funny and delightfully silly. Relatable, likeable, likeably annoying characters. Charming music. I think I need an announcer to yell out the episode number every day of my life, great idea. 😁

Presenting: Greater Boston
847
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)

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!

Presenting: The Wanderer
865
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.

Presenting: Of Fae & Fiends
2263
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.

Presenting: The Carlötta Beautox Chronicles
976
Hi everyone.
This week, we're bringing you another of our favourite shows. The Carlötta Beautox Chronicles is a podcast sitcom about an up-and-coming actress who's out to take Hollywood by storm. It's witty and brassy and fast-paced, and we think you'll like it!
Episode Transcript
Content warning: strong language and sexual humour.
The Carlotta Beautox Chronicles, Ep 101: Just Who Is Carlötta Beautox Anywho?
Meet Carlötta Beautox--actress, thinktress, influenceress. She's on a mission to become Hollywood's Next. Big. Thing. In this pilot episode we discover how the actress, formerly known as Kitty Kinicki, first came to Los Angeles from a small town in New Jersey. We'll meet Dave, her talent manager/landlord and we'll flashback to their initial encounter. Carlötta also shares with us the gory details of the audition that (almost) landed her her first television gig.
EPISODE NOTES
Trojan Cat Media presents The Carlötta Beautox Chronicles. Written, produced, directed, and edited by Ann Sloan.

Presenting: Sleep With Me (Alba Salix Edition)
4201
Hi everyone!
This bonus would have gone out sooner, but we actually-for-real fell asleep listening to it. Which is the whole point!
Sleep With Me is the kind of podcast we need right now: one specifically designed to fall asleep to. Every episode, Drew Ackerman (aka Scooter) rambles gently for an hour to provide you with a soothing distraction, often starting with a bedtime story, or a TV episode recap... or in this case, Episode 1 of Alba Salix, Royal Physician.
This episode will drop on the main Sleep With Me podcast feed later this week.
So if, like us, you've been having a little trouble sleeping lately, queue this up and drift off with Drew's interpretation of Alba Salix, Episode 1: Well Met!

Introducing Farlorian Fridays! Other Bothers Play… Larceny
1993
Introducing Farlorian Fridays!
It's a new tradition we've started on our Patreon feed: Every Friday, we'll be bringing you a new bit of whimsy from the world of Alba Salix: bonus and deleted scenes, unrecorded scripts and games of various sorts. We'll also post a few to our Alba Salix and Other Bothers podcast feeds, but Patreon patrons get to hear them all and hear them first!
We are kicking things off with a recording from this past weekend in which the cast of The End of Time and Other Bothers sat down to play Larceny from Waning Gibbous Games.
Larceny is a card game in the style of Apples To Apples or Cards Against Humanity, but one that lends itself very well indeed to improv and roleplaying. It's themed around a heist, with the goal of stealing anything from diamonds to dinosaur DNA. With a pitch like that, how could we resist?
If you want to hear more, check us out at patreon.com/albasalix.
