A domed metropolis of the world's greatest minds, a permanent showcase of American ingenuity, built on the swamplands of central Florida. In this self-styled city of the future, fifty-thousand temporary residents live, work, and occasionally, die."''

A podcast by Benjamin Lancaster, creator of ''Film/TheFurtherAdventuresOfWaltsFrozenHead''. The story takes place in Progress, a high-tech city in Florida dedicated to scientific research and technological advancement. The city is an imaginary version of [[Ride/WaltDisneyWorld EPCOT]] in which Creator/WaltDisney was able to build it as the "city of the future" he envisioned rather than the theme park it actually became after he died, though with [[LawyerFriendlyCameo names changed to appease lawyers]].
The story begins with the murder of scientist Liam Crawford at the hands of a robot. Private investigator Tim E. Less becomes entangled in the investigation when his girlfriend's sister Eve, who was dating Liam, becomes implicated.
