Dear hell-hackers: I, Kirby Bevins, blame Mayor Boccaccio's Blackguard Cyber-Squad for intercepting 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, a noted domestic terrorist-cum-interim Congressional Speaker. Also, just listen. Or, don't if you're sensitive about a little political satire. It's going to be a digi-doozy. -Kirby If you like the show and want me to keep making it, you might blow your brainlink to bits just listening to the cornucopia of weekly bonus audio tales you'll get when you join the Inner Legion here: https://bit.ly/hgc-patreon

3. Hangman's Hangnail
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. If you like the show, want us to keep making it here, and can muster up two American dimes in change per day, be the change we need to keep it going and growing (I promise we'll hook you up with super cool bonus tales, tunes, and more) here: https://bit.ly/hgc-patreon Thank you for supporting funny sci-fi that doesn't suck.

5. Psycho Helmets On
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! If you like Hell Gate City and want us to keep making it, join our show on Patreon.
