Highlights
Greater Boston
“Episode 34: The Storm on the Sea of Galilee”
This episode of Greater Boston is hard to discuss without spoiling, especially in talking about what makes it so great. The performance by James Oliva as Michael hits a new, heartbreaking high, and the writing breaks form while still focusing on the characters at its core. If you’re not listening to Greater Boston, you’re missing out on one of the most beautiful, inventive podcasts being made right now.
