An ominous help note finds its way to a 1980s post office, connecting a dead letter investigator to a podcaster who is chained to a flimsy pipe and cannot break free.

We also talk about the allure of Dead Letter offices, the act of actually mailing a child, and the cutthroat world of synthesizers!
