    Screaming Panda Presents Episode 20. “Debt (Side B)”, the tenth chapter of Hell Gate City Season 2. 
    (Content warnings are at the end to avoid spoilers.)
    “Debt (Side B)” was written, performed, and produced by Kevin Berrey, the sinning composer of its original music and artiste of its episode art. Additional music by Cheska Navarro. See bottom for SFX credits.
    The bonus tale for this chapter was “Centaur (Heather’s Story)” (Glitch in the Matrix 20), but that has been bumped up to the 21 slot, making the new Glitch 20 a mystery. But whatever it is, it’ll be available to subscribers in the Bonus Audio Tales Collection on Patreon. And if you like the absence of ads during this show, support me on Patreon (https://bit.ly/hgc-patreon) so I can keep making it. Get started for as little as twenty American pennies a day. 
    Even if you can only support us for a month, join today so we can hit 25 subscribers by the end of 2023, thus forcing me to create a rad alternate ending to our Halloween Special “Baba Yaga O’Riley”, inspired by that song everyone calls Teenage Wasteland. 
    Plus, I’ll thank you in a credits shoutout so epic the neighborhood kids will come knocking on your door begging for a selfie.
    Send a kind word, question, or comment to: hellgatecity@proton.me
    TL;DR: We need to increase our handful of Patrons. So if 20 cents a day within your means, yo. Where you at? Join up, Sun. Not in the father-son way, but in the ‘you are the celestial ball of flaming gas illuminating our world way. Or, if you don’t do subscriptions, buy me a coffee? You know where the link’s at. Show notes: https://ko-fi.com/hellgatecity
    While you’re at it, shoutout your love of the show on a social media platform of your choice. No one gets hurt when you do this. It’s just one big win. Tell me why you listen. Urge me to keep going. I am only human, after all.
    Special thanks to our day-one Damiens and now-Baker’s-Dozen of Patrons: In December alone, NAILS (Neo Amsterdam’s Inner Legion Syndicate) added our newest member UnjustGuardian!, as well as Mike Gran, Tasha Le Mel, Moss, and free members Rebekah, Charles Wilner and Andressa Tonello.
    Do join us on Discord – https://bit.ly/hgc-discord  – where we chum it up in the group chat. You’ll meet fellow listeners, meme to your heart’s content, and see pictures of vinyl records I’m listening to – which critics agree is 832% more exciting than watching paint dry.
    And if you’ve never listened to the credits before, just know that patrons get exclusive weekly Glitches – the short-but-sweet bonus tales riffing on each episode’s theme and occasionally adding depth and backstory you can’t get on the main feed, plus soundtrack music, behind-the-scenes content, director's notes, field recordings, and more. Like this. 
    I’m hooking up every paid subscriber till year’s end with a link to stream my newly-released CINE Golden Eagle Award-winning feature documentary Shadow of a Bout.
