About the show

A murder mystery in neon utopia.  An audio drama, 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.
