When Gloria took a waitressing job at a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn't realize she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with it's staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar. No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee. "When the waves of the universe crash unrelentingly, when the stars seem indifferent to your plight, suddenly there is a diner." We open at 6.

Great banter

I love Midnight Burger so it’s no surprise that I love these hosts together. This is good, dare I say wholesome, content. Covering a wide range of subjects, Joe updating Finlay on what’s happened this week, is delivered with humour and kindness. A much needed balm for the soul. Love you guys!
It’s Eemyou not Eemooo

Stumbled across this and loved it. Great selection of random news content and the banter between hosts makes it fun . Made me laugh listening to how folks from the US pronounce ‘Emu’
