Auburn man head writer on new, campy radio soap opera ‘Restless Shores’
LEWISTON — Milton is a hard-charging pharmaceutical CEO planning the family succession. Rhonda is his administrative assistant and scheming mistress.

JanelleR 8/11/20 Twists and turns! Restless shores is a fun dramatic soap opera pod cast. The cast seems to have a sense of humor as does the writing. I love all the characters but Milton, Lorna and Rhonda have to be my favorites. I wish they were longer and I wish there were more to listen to!
