Borderlands: DeadECHOs 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. With a little too much heat on the operation our team ventures out into the wider Borderlands universe where they encounter fan favorite characters (Ellie, Earl, Hammerlock, Wainright, Tannis, Claptrap), and visit familiar locales (Eden-6, Moxxi’s Casino, Kairos). Throughout their adventures, Watts realizes Junie’s unwavering kindness and strength are the key to breaking free of his stagnant life on Pandora. Similarly, Junie discovers Watts’ radical acceptance and infectious vibes are what she needs to stop running and reconcile with her dark past. Also, there’s a big muscle man named Beefhole, and a little robot named Corn on the Cob!

No mistakes. Only opportunities. Bring a mop. Stop, drop, and roll, fun fans - It’s time for DEAD ECHOES! This week, after a touch of cerebral theatricality, the zip zap zoperation of Watts and Junie face their most dire obstacle to date: air. Or lack thereof. Yes, with DAHL Management breathing down our heroes’ necks, those pesky productivity-obsessed overlords have found a way to suck the oxygen out of the room. Literally. Plus, do you like guest stars? Cantankerous cameos? Of course you freakin’ do. And have we got a digi-doozy for ya! All this, plus big sacks of cash, prestigious institutes of higher laughing, old lady wigs, Boom Rooms, attempted fridging, and more… Live for the bit!
