Summary

A brand new fiction podcast from Night Vale Presents: Dreamboy. Dane, a spun-out musician spending the winter in Cleveland, Ohio, has two main goals: keeping his job at the Pepper Heights Zoo and trying not to waste all his time on Grindr. What he doesn’t expect is to get swept into a story about dreams, about forevers, about flickering lights, about unexplained deaths, about relentless change, and about the parts of ourselves that we wish other people knew to look for. Oh, and also a murderous zebra. To keep listening to Dreamboy, find it on Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen to podcasts. Dreamboy is co-created by Dane Terry and Ellie Heyman. Starring Dane Terry, featuring Cecil Baldwin, Avery Draut, Gianna Massi and Morgan Meadows. For more information and full credits, go to dreamboypodcast.com.
