About the Show
On the surface, *Hell Gate City* is an epic audio drama offered in the style of a local radio show for the fictional metropolis of Neo Amsterdam. But as the show’s host plumbs his unconscious mind using a Cyber Lucidity Dream-streamer on-air, he encounters a sinister web of evil stretching from his past into the present. Will he pick up the thread and follow it into the unknown, or stick with the program?
Season 1
After a dream-streaming device intended to increase ratings accidentally broadcasts his repressed memories of an eldritch murder, radio jockey Kirby Bevins embarks on a journey where he must overcome dark forces and folly to solve the crime before he becomes the next victim.
Season 2
What would you do if you found a recording of a customer support phone call placed by someone you know *after* they died? Season 2 shares the footage.
Content warnings for this episode include themes of death and the afterlife, alienation, medical neglect, crippling insurance debt, mention of serial killers, murder by a demon beast, abandonment, abduction, corporate malfeasance, body-snatching, and nonconsensual mind-swapping.
