Show Synopsis
On the surface, Hell Gate City is a rollicking audio saga about the community served by a local radio show for the fictional megacity Neo Amsterdam. It’s a genre-bending comedy with a heavy emphasis on cyberpunk themes, especially as applied to questions about the nature of consciousness and dreams. Hence, dreampunk.
