About this episode
The episode introduces the podcast Metropolis, where reporter Nan Kanally investigates the secrets of a neon utopia after her friend disappears.
Hey Proximans! We know you’re chomping at the bit for our season 2 finale, but we need to give it a little bit of extra time in the oven. We’ll be back with that in early December, but in the meantime, would like to introduce you to our friends over at Metropolis by Lux Radium. While ace reporter Nan Kanally and the rest of the world struggle through post-war poverty, Metropolis has assembled a neon utopia on an icy, distant island. It’s an electronic heaven made possible by a fleet of astonishing autonomous robots. But Metropolis holds its secrets tightly. The only word that gets out is from the few reporters they invite. One of them is Nan’s best friend, the sportswriter Stanley Bronfels. But when Stanley disappears, it falls to Nan to discover the secrets of Metropolis... or find oblivion herself.
