About Episode 0
"Cypher — Sabotage Exposed!" marks the beginning of Season 1 and introduces Kirby Bevins, Lonni Paysinger, and a motley cast of characters as they struggle to survive the predations of the looming technopolistic hellscape they call home in the month before "Pilot" (Episode 1). An unannounced visitor forces Kirby and the WNAD staff to take drastic measures. An awkward run-in with a raccoon during a Helloween celebration lands Kirby in the ER. Has his six-year-long bout of amnesia come to an end? An investigation into it begins.
Season 1
After a dream-streaming device intended to increase ratings accidentally broadcasts his repressed memories of an eldritch murder, radio jockey Kirby Bevins must overcome dark forces and folly to solve the crime before he becomes the next victim.
Season 2
The next chapter ushers listeners into the phantasmagorical side of Neo Amsterdam like never before by way of a recording – for quality assurance purposes – of a customer support call from a denizen trapped in a metaverse gone awry. Cruise the seamy underbelly of a virtual world beyond the veil.
