LYRICS

this is how the cyber purge came to be.

they divided and conquered us in every feed,

turning me against you, and you against me.

this is how injustice crushed us in its teeth

one part hate, two parts greed...

this is how they fed us into the machine.

bankrupt from her a.i. startup's crash and burn,

flavia, the grotesque duchess of cambridge analytica,

lucked into a fountain of youth as technoaristocrats do,

getting her elected, as they do.

the cyber purge started like a vicious meme.

they threw one grenade in the henhouse.

every chicken screamed.

injustice crushed us in its teeth while the elites fled the scene.

then they divided and conquered us into grist for the machine.

this bloodbath splattered holographically, flooding in and dashing all of our dreams.

bio-enhance your looks, ms. president, but we know what's underneath.

you're just a puppet of the corpo-oligarchy.

rumor has it she got fully upgraded--cyborg body, 'wet set'.

she can live forever as long as the rest of us work ourselves to death.

yeah, she can live forever as long as the rest of us keep working ourselves to death.

this bloodbath splattered holographically, flooding in and dashing all of our dreams.

a holographic bloodbath splattered across the screen, flooded the feeds, and dashed all our dreams.

A jolly good end of 2023 to you, denizen!

Join me for our celebration of the show’s third birthday with a full director’s commentary-laden listen through of the show with Q&A and hijinks on MY birthday!

Follow me on Twitch, save the date, and set the reminder at the following link for Saturday, the 27th of January 2024 at 1pm EST. Click: https://www.twitch.tv/hotcomic/schedule?seriesID=d423d4ed-bb57-49c9-8b50-32959a53f869

If you’re in need of solace, I get it. I’ve lost two friends this month and I’m still processing everything. You might appreciate my recent public Patreon post titled, “Jolly Holidays”. It addresses the push-pull of family gatherings and our attempts to martial merriment.

With that said, I hope you’ve been enjoying Season 2 – Codename COMPANION. “Debt” (Side A), the 19th episode blasted out to patrons on Saturday and everyone else on Sunday; and, like the rest of this season, I believe it represents some of my best work. May it brighten your day or ease you into a cozy night by the glow of a yuletide fire (or mobile device), whatever best warms your heart.

…

Have you shared Hell Gate City with a friend or likeminded group chat?

I recommend sharing this trippy YouTube video version of “Cypher” and that you subscribe to our youtube while you’re at it.

And, if you have enjoyed the show, and it’s within your means, subscribe to our Patreon and join the community for a whole bundle of goodies.

Paying patrons get access to a growing library of ‘Glitch in the Matrix’ bonus tales, sacred tunes, deluxe scripts, and more… like my award-winning feature documentary, Shadow of a Bout. For everyone who subscribes till the end of the year – regardless of the tier – you get a copy.

All hell-hackers who joined in 2023 will get a private youtube link – you’ll just need to have a youtube account, which is automatic if you have a gmail.

Also, for the next few days only, you can just buy Shadow of a Bout outright for $9.95 a 66.7% discount, to make it as easy and accessible as possible for those who’ve wanted to see it and share it with friends.

And, I’m extending the offer till year’s end that if you join as a free member to our Patreon, I’ll shoot you a link to a free bonus tale (Just have an email address and join before 2024!).

As mentioned, we currently have 12 patrons (🙏 you rock!) — a 140% increase since the launch of S2 — and if we can get to 25 paid subscribers by year’s end, I’ll create a rad alternate ending to our Halloween Special “Baba Yaga O’Riley”, inspired by that song by The Who folks call Teenage Wasteland.

Rate and review the show on Spotify and Apple! For the rest of 2023 if you shoot me a screenshot of your review or five-star rating, or even post it on socials and tag me, I’ll shoot you a link to the uncut version of this tale.

If you haven’t noticed, I’ve poured my heart and soul into this show… I’d feel silly if more people never got the chance to bask in all of its facets. Which is why you can finally preview all ‘Glitch in the Waitrix’ bonus episodes crafted for members of our Patreon here.

• Futokoro-gatana (‘secret advisor’ in Japanese) – Let’s workshop! Consult with me on the phone. Plus, you’ll get a free copy of the handy Guide for Audio Dramatists e-book

• Ace – Request the original artwork for a given episode and it will be held for you upon signing up and sent to you shortly after you pay for the second month. Actually, no. I just decided this today especially for listeners. This is ONLY if you sign up before January 2024 – you can acquire a piece of original episode art after paying for just the first month. So, half off.

See the public Art page on Patreon (LINKED in the show notes as with all of these suggestions of links I’ve mentioned). There you’ll find detailed images, media, dimensions, and availability. (+ Includes all benefits of Futokuro-Gatana).

"Courage" (Episode 17) is slow-cooking in the oven. It'll be served up momentarily. In the meantime, here's a special prerelease tune from the soundtrack to give you a taste of the kind of goodies our Patrons get in the Inner Legion.

Patrons got a lossless high-resolution cut of the song... Actually, they also got an 'illegal' version of the song that Spotify won't let me post. In fact, part of the reason this whole episode is delayed is I've tried to upload multiple pieces of content today and they're all getting auto-deleted due to something Spotify doesn't like. They won't tell me specifically what it is, LOL.

In the microcosm of the original song, you would have gotten almost the entire story of the episode. But we're not allowed to have fun. Hang tight. E17 is coming soon... The Glitch in the Matrix bonus tale that goes with it is "Aftermath" available only on – you know.

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.

Transcript:

KIRBY: Howdy, hell-hacker. Kirby here to announce a new program coming your way. But first, a bit of local news.

Dust off your Kraken plague respirator and mask up when you head out today. The air of Hell Gate City is nearly opaque with purmple haze. That’s purmple – it’s like purple, but tastes grapey. But don’t be fooled, grape heads. Purmple haze has pummeled the air quality index to a hazardous 499. So, look out for increased murk drifting south from fires consuming the largest grape flavor-producing plant, most Canadrian forests, and several sick burns of Strayhorn, my best friend from third grade. He probably deserves a break after being continually roasted for encouraging his brother’s pet ferret to bite my calf years ago. Hit me up if you’re listening, Stray.

And now, our announcement. COMPANION is a new show winding up to blast directly into your brainlink this summer. Seeing as it’s top secret, I can only say this. It involves at least three things: a person from Hell Gate City entering the Underworld, a mindboggling customer service experience, and a Honduran bat.

That’s the skinny, Amsterdenizinny. Oh, and, COMPANION hits different if you’re done with Season 1. So finish listening to our award-winning first season if you haven’t. And get ready for a wild ride. CMP – COMPANION – is coming soon to our feed.

Till next time. May the sticky proboscis of a humongous flame gorgon dispatch your town’s crooked game warden. Bevins, wowee-zowee-Maui-owee-out.

Kevin here. Teleport to Neo Amsterdam 400 years ago. Hover cars were horse buggies, and crime, corruption, and fires blew like they still do. But what happens when the illegitimate son of the dude who killed Alexander Hamilton makes a human trafficking deal with the richest man in the nation? Check out Burning Gotham, a full-cast audio fiction series about the most notorious city in this dimension. It's a Tribeca Audio Official Selection. Here's a taste. For more info, visit http://burninggotham.com.

View Details

This bonus episode features a PSA from Kirby in a local park and some tomfoolery. It precedes season two proper but is cut from the same cloth. And it's here to tide you over as the next season's story works its way through the machine.

Warning: features provocative and violent content with bodily fluids, a firearm, and a baseball bat.

Warning: This episode is violent. It may not be suitable for young children or the faint of heart.

The time has arrived to bring Season One to a close and what better way than by the gnashing of teeth and spilling of blood? No need to answer that. It's a family affair.

We rejoin father and son in Seneca Park for Part 2 of 2. This is the season finale. And in it, we learn some shocking details about Kirby's past. Thornton tells all. You might not believe your ears.

Strap on your Dream-Streamer headset, hell-hacker. You're entering part 1 of a two-part season finale that will launch the show in a new direction — a serial story arc for Season 02, about which we are very excited. Join father and son Thornton and Kirby Bevins for a walk in the park. It ain't a walk in the park, if you know what I mean. Thornton reveals a shocking secret about Kirby's past. Kirby doesn't believe it. Some confessions are just too wild to be accepted. Will he take Dad seriously, or is ol' Thornton too sick to think straight? At least one thing is certain. After this, everything changes.

Don't feed the abandoned zoo animals. And look out for demon beasts while you're in the woods. Maybe it's polar bears? Whatever it is, something's stalking Neo Amsterdenizens, and it's not nice.

So if you're down for a rough ride through Hell Gate City, jack into your cyber-deck right quick. Soak up the data stream before Ascension goes bats**t and vacuums us into the sky.

Bevins out.

IMPORTANT:

We appreciate every listener. We thank you for sticking with us. And we humbly beg you to like, rate, review, and follow our show – hold up a lantern for others in the darkness.

Love is a noun, a nickname, a type of shack, a god, an emotion, a verb, and a score of zero in cyber-tennis (how’d they arrive at that one?).

All things are not what they seem. I, Kirby, look slightly fatter than last week. Yet, my bloat is just a bellyful of apologies for the delay of this episode. As you'll see with your ears, we got our boat rocked in the making of it.

What's in this episode? Hypothetically, your partner has their central nervous system threaded into an entirely new body – what would that entail? Let's just say a lot. Even in Neo Amsterdam, bodies don't grow on trees. When a body pops up, and the city council doesn't quite know what to do with it, circuits fry. Turns out there's a lot of insensitive folks out there trying to put us in a box. They try to define us. And if we resist, they may try to confine us. Pray it ain't solitary cyber-confinement. That smarts. I hope that clears it up!

Oddly, this show is brought to you by S.T.U.A.R.T., Streaming Terms of Use Across All Registered Trans-media. That's the blanket license every listener automatically agrees to in Neo Amsterdam. Know when you click "I Agree" before using an app? That's it. You have unwittingly signed a contract with a heap of shadowy mega conglomerates. Many of you do not know what that contract entails. S.T.U.A.R.T. requires us to listen to all corporate messaging. What if we don't? Will they get us??

Just play the dang episode. Anyhoo, if you have skipped an ad lately and are worried about repercussions, listen closely and stay on guard for the oncoming BUSS (this, too, will make sense).

Bevins out.

IMPORTANT:

We give thanks first and foremost to the Lord, our first patron Lord_Entropy, as well as: Isa, xManjix, What-A-Rush Collins, Ben-Yeezy, Bliquer, DJ L.E.L., Çamster & Bob for joining the resistance on Patreon.

It’s the third month of the year, so you know what that means. The Governing Authority Group’s (GAG) annual Cyber-Purge is upon us. Watch your partners and your pets. I know I did. If you’ve seen a dusky blue teacup poodle, caged or otherwise, please alert the station.

It’s been a tough year all-around and to think, we kicked off the Kraken-virus plague during last year’s Cyber-Purge without even knowing it.

Many a cyborg fell to a dweller’s knife that day. All that, only for the poor under-tunnel dweller and her family to fall ill to the Kraken by week’s end. Unbelievable. If you’re cyber-enhanced, look out, cybo. If you’re a normal organic person, be on your guard, orgo.

And, please, let’s all honor our pledges to the nannies and mannies who’ve stayed home to guard progeny during this trying time.

One badass way to do that is to join our club. First, it’s decidedly pro-nanny. Second, it’s chock-full o’ special benefits for members who are down for the cause. Lastly, it’s easy and practically painless to be a patron and help us keep making the show. Where's the secret clubhouse? Anyone worth their sodium supply will be lurking here: http://bit.ly/hgcc-patron

Dream a little dream with me, Kirby Bevins. Join us as we go hip deep into my psyche and, girl, it gets messy. Total radio apeshot. If you thought you knew ol’ Kirb up until now, think again. One Cyber Lucidity plunge and you’ll be swimming in a sea of intrigue, dark figures, and dangerous encounters.

That’s all before we tune in to the return of cyber-fan favorite, Dendricks' Corner, brought to you by Meg’s List. You heard me right. All lies therein. You’ll find the truth shivering next to a frigid Sex Bot, as per yoozsh.

Every time you tune in it fills us with gratitude and nutrient-rich chemicals. Subscribe like your life depends on it. I wouldn’t know anything about that, but better safe than sorry. Yeparoonie!

Strap on your psycho helmet. It's going to be a bumpy ride. A new audio production team has formed to take Amsterdenizens to a higher plane – no, not Ascension.

Host Kirby Bevins walks listeners through the slushy sludge of Manahatta Isle and into the depths of cult role-playing game sensation XYnon, a crime against the Church of Natas by two pyromaniacs (could it be the Pyro Bros?), and more.

Stay inquisitive. Stay vigilant. And stay the execution of Boccaccio’s enemies!

Dear hell-hackers: I, Kirby Bevins, apologize for the delay of "Hot Metal Dobermans". I also blame Mayor Boccaccio's Blackguard Cyber-Squad. They intercepted Episode 04 through a sidewall. Do not be alarmed! We circumvented the fire-block. Hang tight and stay vigilant. Be ready for the new microchipped vaccine – it packs a secret punch. Speaking of secrets, guess our guest today and you could win tickets to see the Vapor Games. Also, we feature a world exclusive note from Qwerty Ping, noted domestic terrorist-cum-interim Congressional Speaker. Also, just listen. It's going to be a digi-doozy. -Kirby

Kirby revisits President Gorp’s alleged cyber-coup last week. Who helped it? How? What happened? Why? It came to a head, actually about 15 heads. They rolled off several Centurian Cenators and a slew of Representatives unlucky enough to be caught in the melee. Host Bevins remains undaunted even as the F.I.B. and pint-sized hate machines pursue him for crimes he swears he never even computed.

Rumors of Alby, the man-eating albino alligator in Old Haarlem develop into something sinister. And a surprising revelation about the "Weatherby's Wīnd-back" radio drama series casts a pall on the franchise. Do not wander aimlessly in Mini-Italy as a known culprit’s violent apprehension looms imminent. Brought to you by C.A.M.M.iE.
