Summary
Don’t try to be funny, Watts. In the crazy, cruel badlands of Pandora, two loners will forge a connection based on easy money, tenuous trust, and a love for sticking it to assholes. But what happens when their silly scams start to uncover a full-tilt corporate coup involving cyborg assassins? Dead ECHOs dives headlong into the lethal lunacy of the Borderlands! Borderlands: Dead ECHOs is Gearbox’s first scripted narrative podcast — a darkly comedic drama set in the chaotic Borderlands universe. —---------------------------------------- CAST Watts, Crisp, Walla: Joel Watson Junie, Walla: April Johnson DAHL Management Bot: Alexa Ray Corriea Customer Service Bot, Fancy, Lady Bandit: Amanda Shuckman DAHL Announcement, Mother: Colleen Clinkenbeard Clerk, Walla: Dante Silva Wainwright Jakobs: David Wald Sir Hammerlock, Beefhole: J.
