Limbo Calling

Behold the first-ever Radio Limbo live show, recorded at XMTR festival in St. Leonard's-on-Sea.

On the anniversary of the visitation, 83 is preparing to go back to the... Thing, in the basement.

Leonard convinces the operator to look for something in the basement. He finds it, and more...

Also: We hear a show about a very special call centre, meet an interplanetary explorer, and listen to music about numbers. 

A sleepwalker is beckoned by a distant sound, a helpline receives a call about lost marbles, and The Operator is affected by cries for help...

Our first discovery in the archive was this introduction to The Operator, Leonard and a "visitation" to the outpost, during a particularly difficult winter.
