Grant Rutter introduces MONTECITO: An Audio Soap Opera to his longtime audience of Grants Rants Hollywood Talk. 

Welcome to Montecito. A dark paradise where shattered romances, hidden family secrets, scandalous affairs hide behind manicured hedges and the shadows of towering palm trees. Inspired by the golden age of American radio dramas, Montecito blends classic soap with the modern audio drama genre —where love is currency, legacy is everything, and trust is the most dangerous game of all.

Available now for a bing-listen, prepare for a reimagining of the audio soap opera. Subscribe now and step into a world where everyone has something to hide... and everything to lose.
