Summary
Make your partner look good in front of their ex. They say all publicity is good publicity but those clowns never had to deal with things getting a bit too hot for The Postmaster, did they? So now, with things getting 5-star spicy, Watts and Junie find themselves running damage control, doubling down on their crazy theatrics and dealing with dirty die cheaters. Or is it dice? Borderlands: Dead ECHOs is Gearbox’s first scripted narrative podcast — a darkly comedic drama set in the chaotic Borderlands universe. It follows Watts, a disenchanted DAHL Echo Operator, who supplements his meager pay by sifting through undeliverable ECHO Logs, and selling the secrets inside to the highest bidder. When Junie, a curious stranger with big ideas and a secretive past, gets him out of a jam, the two strike up an unlikely partnership. As Junie injects a daring Robin Hood twist into Watts’ amateur criminal enterprise, their ECHO-brokering operation draws attention from ruthless mercenaries, violent outlaws, and DAHL’s deadly corporate hit squad lead by power hungry rogue executive, Vivian Proctor. —---------------------------------------- CAST Joel Watson: Watts, Walla April Johnson: Junie, Pet Store Customer, Walla Amanda Schuckman: Fancy, Customer Service Bot Dante Silva: Dice Worker, Walla Joe Cucinotti: Dice Boss David Wald: Amadeus Elisa Melendez: Marisol Jim Foronda: Claptrap Lydia MacKay: Vivian Proctor Mike Salcedo: Aaron Baron Producers: April Johnson and Joel Watson Lead Writers: April Johnson and Joel Watson Director: Joel Watson Audio Design: KlugeFon Claptrap Rap Writer: Dante Silva Claptrap Rap Producer: Helix Additional Narrative Support: Alexa Ray Corriea, Lin Joyce, and Matt Fowler Special thanks: Andrew Cheney, Andy Reiner, Austin Conway, Katie Heacock, Stephen Hoff G…
