Limbo Calling is a surreal audio drama and variety show, presented as a series of unusual radio reports.
Operator 83 is a radio operator working alone in Limbo. Stationed at a remote outpost beneath a constant drizzle of radio static, he monitors the scruffy airwaves and files reports to an unanswering HQ.
These reports contain weird and wonderful fragments of life in Limbo — both on the airwaves and within the outpost itself.
Limbo Calling experiments with radio drama, eerie sound design, music, dark humour, and the supernatural into a calmly unsettling listening experience for curious ears.
