S1 E01 – The Swamplands – Tales From the Swamplands
An introduction to the weird and wonderful world of the Swamplands! Well, a re-introduction. A previous conflagration by theocratic agents of the dystopian metropolis took care of the previous 348 episodes of this pirate radio show. But did that deter the show's host, the enigmatic Benjamin Gaunt?! Slightly at first, if we're being honest. And yet, he's back in the saddle to share what makes life in the Swamplands so unique! Be it the city's automated bugs, the ever-vigilant eyes of the Fold, the terrors of nature and the unknown, or simply economic inequality – life in the swamp can be hard. But that strife can spawn humor, victories, community, and learning. Gaunt shares a bit of his wisdom in these tales in order to share his perspective and reflect on what comprises those struggles and triumphs. – This week's topic is… the Swamplands!
