Episode 10 Part 2: …And scene
…And scene. Welcome to Dead ECHOs last stand, funfans. It’s all come down to this! What’s this, you might ask? Well, Petula Clark put it best when she sang “Everyone has a song that belongs to their life. That will go on and on through the years of their life…” Okay, she rhymed life with life but it’s still a great tune and it reflects on how a special person can transform an ordinary existence into something meaningful. So with that in mind, prep your butt for a big blow out, some awesome auditory rat-ta-tat-tats, a pile of highly erotic slow-cooked meats, and a surprise gooning. And always remember to take care of each other. You don’t have to do the hard stuff alone. —---------------------------------------- CAST Joel Watson: Watts, Walla April Johnson: Junie, Walla Amanda Shuckman: Customer Service Bot, Persistent Oteria Colleen Clinkebeard: Mother David Wald: Amadeus, Wainwright Jakobs Elisa Melendez: Marisol, Walla J.

Episode 10 Pt 1: Raise the Stakes and Tip Your Waitstaff
Raise the stakes and tip your waitstaff. We’re in the endgame now. Claptrap has used his advanced programming and cutting-edge algorithm capabilities to view 14 million possible futures and he’s narrowed Junie and Watts’ chances down to one single… Just kidding. He’s a lonely idiot. He couldn’t compute his way out of a giant bowl of dip. That being said, and this being the penultimate Dead ECHOS, big time danger has come calling on our heroes. They might not know what the hell to do but they’re gonna do it anyway. It’s time to gather allies, call in favors, try all three salsas, and Hail some freakin' Marys because things are about to get Rated S for Showdown. —---------------------------------------- CAST Joel Watson: Watts, Walla April Johnson: Junie,Walla Colleen Clinkebeard: Mother, Tannis David Wald: Amadeus, Wainwright Jakobs Elisa Melendez: Mabel, Marisol, Walla J.

Episode 9: Trust Your Partner, and keep your shoes on.
Trust your partner, and keep your shoes on. Ahh, Eden-6. The intense aroma of brackish swamp water. The unsettling mating shrieks of gassy jabbers. That one guy with two dicks. This week, Dead ECHOs brings our heroes into the grand Jakobs Estate, where Junie reunites with her only two good relatives and Watts acts completely normal all the time from the moment he arrives. You know, they say you can’t go home again. Of course, you CAN literally go home again. They mean figuratively. As in, one can never recapture the feelings of youth even if one returns to the place of childhood rearing. Such is the case for Junie, who finds herself facing past demons and struggling greatly, as we all do, with the word “rearing.” Watts, on the other hand, acts as cool and calm as you’d expect from one with such a mature mastery of his emotions. So crank up the Toots McGoots and let’s get rolling… 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.

Episode 8: Breathe and stay present on the floor, dingus.
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?

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.
