Screaming Panda Presents “Fugazi,” Episode 15 of Hell Gate City. Fugazi was written, performed, and produced by Kevin Berrey, who also composed the music and the episode art. The Glitch in the Matrix bonus story for this chapter is “Goldmine.” It’s available on the show’s Patreon at patreon.com/hellgatecity. As you should know by now, we forbid ads and sponsors. Instead, we rely upon people like you, to make a small pledge of financial support to keep the show going, ad-free, on a weekly basis, which will be inconceivable without increasing our current handful of Patrons.

Starting with as little as 18¢ a day, Patrons get exclusive weekly Glitches – the short-but-sweet bonus stories capping off each episode and adding a twist on the theme, plus pre-release soundtrack music, behind-the-scenes content, director's notes, field recordings, and more. In fact, next tier up, Dreamwalker, gets two prerelease episodes every Thursday in the form of next week's show and glitch.
