10. Don't Look Back Again, Dummy (Part 2 of 2)
Warning: This episode is violent. It may not be suitable for young children or the faint of heart.
The time has arrived to bring Season 1 to a close, and what better way than by the gnashing of teeth and spilling of blood? No need to answer that. It's a family affair.
We rejoin father and son in Seneca Park for Part 2 of 2. This is the season finale. And in it, we learn some shocking details abo
9. Don't Look Back (Part 1 of 2)
Strap on your Dream-Streamer headset, hell-hacker. You're entering part 1 of a two-part season finale that will launch the show in a new direction — a serial story arc for Season 02, about which we are very excited. Join father and son Thornton and Kirby Bevins for a walk in the park. It ain't a walk in the park, if you know what I mean. Thornton reveals a shocking secret about Kirby's past. Kirby
8. Destroy Before Listening
Love is a noun, a nickname, a type of shack, a god, an emotion, a verb, and a score of zero in cyber-tennis (how’d they arrive at that one?).
Warning: this episode contains provocative content intended for listeners with ≥ adolescent maturity.
All things are not what they seem. I, Kirby, look slightly fatter than last week. Yet, my bloat is just a bellyful of apologies for the delay of this episo

It’s the third month of the year, so you know what that means. The Governing Authority Group’s (GAG) annual Cyber-Purge is upon us. Watch your partners and your pets. I know I did. If you’ve seen a dusky blue teacup poodle, caged or otherwise, please alert the station.

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.

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 wo
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.
