Breathe and stay present on the floor, dingus.
Hey! What’s the deal with airline food? Could this Duck à l'Orange be any less a’l'Orange? And how about those seats? I’m sorry, I didn’t realize my actual legs were considered my one personal item. And what about that guy with his shoes off eating a raw onion like an apple? Or the guy ONLY wearing shoes eating an apple like it’s string cheese.
This week on Dead ECHOS, our scam squad stays two steps ahead of their enemies, flying the unfriendly space skies to Eden-6. It’s cramped, hazardous, and everyone’s got a wasp in their coif. So unfurl with some subpar smut, erotic auto repair, and tantalizing true crime as our heroes join the mile high club (which on Pandora means beating someone with a buzzaxe at 30,000 feet.)
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.
