Starring five-time Academy Award®-nominee Ethan Hawke as “The Radio Man,” MIDNIGHT RADIO is a new, fantastical horror podcast. Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill and produced by Under The Influence Productions, Crooked Highway and Mickey Schiff in collaboration with iHeartPodcasts. Told in real-time through the lens of a cult-favorite late-night AM radio show, the series follows a host (played by Ethan) whose eerie, conspiracy-themed call-in program takes a chilling turn. One night, he receives a call from a man claiming to be part of a secret U.S. space mission lost to history—just the first thread in a sprawling web of government cover-ups, interdimensional breaches, and psychological warfare. As the broadcast unfolds, strange signals hidden in the radio static reveal themselves. With each episode building on the last, one question grows more urgent—who, or what, is really on the other end of the line? And what do they want?

    Operation Wandering Souls Pt.1

    Secret government programs such as MK-Ultra and Area 51 have become part of popular conversation. But our host opens the lines, ready to discuss some programs that are far less documented.   One caller claims to have been part of a division that allegedly used authentic torture and snuff film audio for psychological warfare. He also claims to own a recording that has remained hidden for decades- and may be one of the most chilling pieces of audio in existence.    —-   MIDNIGHT RADIO is a production of Crooked Highway and Under the Influence   Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C.

    Night Tripping

    What if psychedelics don’t just alter the mind—but open a door to something beyond? Our host opens the lines to hear from true “Psychonauts” who believe they have experienced something from the other side.   Callers share their stories ranging from psilocybin to high doses of Benadryl. Some encounter haunting visions of the Hat Man. Others encounter something far more terrifying than their hallucinations.   —-   MIDNIGHT RADIO is a production of Crooked Highway and Under the Influence   Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C.

    Phantom Cosmonauts

    Heard a dead loved one on an open channel? Maybe contact from the stars? What have you heard in the static between stations on the dial? The lines are open to anyone with a tale about strange transmissions. Through a long night of calls, our host listens to stories of mysterious NASA transmissions surrounding the myth of the Phantom Cosmonauts. Until another call gets through—from a man who claims to know the transmission is fake. Because he was there. —- MIDNIGHT RADIO is a production of Crooked Highway and Under the Influence   Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C.
