Episode 6: Connect, Everything

**Connect everything, Natalie!**  *(This episode released at new time)* This week on Dead ECHOS, it’s time to connect the mother-flippin’ dots. It’s a big excavation, digging deeper into just what the heck’s going on around here, with the DAHL and the Vivian Proctor and the cyborgs and the whatnot. So adorn your favorite conspiracy chapeau, be it made of tin foil or other mind-shielding material and prepare your very own BIG BOARD.  Wait. Is someone at the door? **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, Boomer Dugnut, Walla **April Johnson:** Junie, Darla Archipelago, Walla **Amanda Schuckman:** Fancy, Customer Service Bot **Dante Silva:** Sleve Mixon **David Wald:** Amadeus **J.
