Even though it was a different time, we’re still Buds, right? Y’all, Dead ECHOS returns with a chapter all about getting tf off Pandora. Yes, while everyone with common sense is giving Beefhole a 5-star rating, our ad-libbing leads skedaddle to the spaceport, headed to Junie’s childhood home. Can they outrun the Liquidator? Can Junie convince Watts to not sell his fingers to the dirty digit dealer? We have such sights to show you. Buckle up for chowder chunks, suckle knuckles, cubicle farms, giant novelty scissors, goos, creams, sleems, and other things that sound gross but are…in fact, gross. Tune in as various seeds from the scam tree start to bear fruit! 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, New Reporter, Gary, Walla April Johnson: Junie, Host 1, Walla Amanda Schuckman: Fancy, Customer Service Bot Colleen Clinkenbeard: Mother Dante Silva: Rakk Chowder Vendor, Walla David Wald: Shrimp Blimp CEO Elisa Melendez: Transport Announcer J.
