It'll be served up momentarily. In the meantime, here's a special prerelease tune from the soundtrack to give you a taste of the kind of goodies our Patrons get in the Inner Legion. Patrons got a lossless high-resolution cut of the song... Actually, they also got an 'illegal' version of the song that Spotify won't let me post. In fact, part of the reason this whole episode is delayed is I've tried to upload multiple pieces of content today and they're all getting auto-deleted due to something Spotify doesn't like. They won't tell me specifically what it is, LOL. In the microcosm of the original song, you would have gotten almost the entire story of the episode. But we're not allowed to have fun. Hang tight.

WARNING: This is not a full episode. It is half of a bonus episode, offered as a teaser. And, its proper placement would be directly after Ep. 11, the debut episode of Hell Gate City, Season 2 – COMPANION. I intend to keep it in the feed for a brief time only, so listen while you can. (Content Warning: Violence; to avoid spoilers, we ask that you scroll to the bottom for detailed content warnings.) Bizaria was a parkour star par excellence, except she had one problem...Welcome to a limited-time peek into the first Glitch in the Matrix bonus audio story. This teaser episode features an introduction to Glitches in the Matrix, our series of patron-only bonus audio tales, as well as the first half of Glitch 11 – "Boxed In", the bonus tale that pairs with "Unboxing" (Episode 11). (Scroll down for content warnings) "Boxed In" is what happens when you kick the tires on the simulation. Credits Kevin Berrey wrote, performed, scored, designed, directed, and edited this episode. The full version can be heard here. Join the Inner Legion (Patreon) to listen to it and all the other Glitches in our library https://patreon.com/hellgatecity. Note: Glitches are best enjoyed directly after listening to the full episode they were released with. This is because they build upon or twist the theme. And, they often add a layer of depth or backstory to the regular episode. Thus, subscribing early and listening along as they come out beside the main feed is the easiest way to follow them and get the juiciest experience. . . . . . Content warnings for this episode include allusions to breast cancer, unintentional yet graphic firearm violence, extortion-style healthcare, anxiety, and a dying grandmother; if you subscribe, the full episode has some coarse language and deals with the politics of interaction around gender identity

Show Synopsis On the surface, Hell Gate City is a rollicking audio saga about the community served by a local radio show for the fictional megacity Neo Amsterdam. It's a genre-bending dark comedy with a heavy emphasis on cyberpunk themes, especially as applied to questions about the nature of consciousness, memory, and dreams. Hence, dreampunk. News As of August 2023, all listeners should embark on the listening journey by starting here – the fully reimagined Episode 0. "Cypher – Sabotage Exposed!". Then, proceed chronologically to Episodes 1, 2, 3, and so on. Season 2 – Codename COMPANION just launched in September 2023 with "Unboxing" (Episode 11). And COMPANION truly kicks into gear with the first 'proper' episode, "Tabula" (Episode 12). Season 1 After a dream-streaming device intended to increase ratings accidentally broadcasts his repressed memories of an eldritch murder, radio jockey Kirby Bevins must overcome dark forces and folly to solve the crime before he becomes the next victim. Season 2 The next chapter ushers listeners into the phantasmagorical side of Neo Amsterdam like never before by way of a recording – for quality assurance purposes – of a customer support call from a denizen trapped in a metaverse gone awry. Cruise the seamy underbelly of a virtual world beyond the veil. We love to hear from listeners.

Credits Screaming Panda Presents: COMPANION Written, performed, and produced by Kevin Berrey – http://kevinplease.com Music composed by Cheska Navarro – https://www.cheskanavarro.com/ Transcript: KIRBY: Howdy, hell-hacker. Kirby here to announce a new program coming your way. But first, a bit of local news.  Dust off your Kraken plague respirator and mask up when you head out today. The air of Hell Gate City is nearly opaque with purmple haze. That's purmple – it's like purple, but tastes grapey. But don't be fooled, grape heads. Purmple haze has pummeled the air quality index to a hazardous 499. So, look out for increased murk drifting south from fires consuming the largest grape flavor-producing plant, most Canadrian forests, and several sick burns of Strayhorn, my best friend from third grade. He probably deserves a break after being continually roasted for encouraging his brother's pet ferret to bite my calf years ago. Hit me up if you're listening, Stray. And now, our announcement. COMPANION is a new show winding up to blast directly into your brainlink this summer. Seeing as it's top secret, I can only say this. It involves at least three things: a person from Hell Gate City entering the Underworld, a mindboggling customer service experience, and a Honduran bat. That's the skinny, Amsterdenizinny. Oh, and, COMPANION hits different if you're done with Season 1. So finish listening to our award-winning first season if you haven't. And get ready for a wild ride. CMP – COMPANION – is coming soon to our feed. Till next time. May the sticky proboscis of a humongous flame gorgon dispatch your town's crooked game warden. Bevins, wowee-zowee-Maui-owee-out.

Kevin here. Teleport to Neo Amsterdam 400 years ago. Hover cars were horse buggies, and crime, corruption, and fires blew like they still do. But what happens when the illegitimate son of the dude who killed Alexander Hamilton makes a human trafficking deal with the richest man in the nation? Check out Burning Gotham, a full-cast audio fiction series about the most notorious city in this dimension. It's a Tribeca Audio Official Selection. Here's a taste. For more info, visit http://burninggotham.com.

This bonus episode features a PSA from Kirby in a local park and some tomfoolery. It precedes season two proper but is cut from the same cloth. And it's here to tide you over as the next season's story works its way through the machine. Warning: features provocative and violent content with bodily fluids, a firearm, and a baseball bat.

Strap on your Dream-Streamer headset, hell-hacker. You're entering part 1 of a two-part season finale that will launch the show in a new direction — a serial story arc for Season 02, about which we are very excited. Join father and son Thornton and Kirby Bevins for a walk in the park. It ain't a walk in the park, if you know what I mean. Thornton reveals a shocking secret about Kirby's past. Kirby doesn't believe it. Some confessions are just too wild to be accepted. Will he take Dad seriously, or is ol' Thornton too sick to think straight? At least one thing is certain. After this, everything changes. Don't feed the abandoned zoo animals. And look out for demon beasts while you're in the woods. Maybe it's polar bears? Whatever it is, something's stalking Neo Amsterdenizens, and it's not nice. So if you're down for a rough ride through Hell Gate City, jack into your cyber-deck right quick. Soak up the data stream before Ascension goes bats**t and vacuums us into the sky. Bevins out. IMPORTANT: We appreciate every listener. We thank you for sticking with us. And we humbly beg you to like, rate, review, and follow our show – hold up a lantern for others in the darkness.
