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.

    Chapter 22: The Maul of America.

    "What are we to think of a woman's suffering a broken leg when another crowd of 1,000 turned violent after waiting eight hours to get into a Zayre store in Wilkes-Barre, Pa.? Departmental Manager William Shigo could provide no explanation either. He armed himself with a baseball bat to defend his position behind the counter. Said he: 'Get back, you're breaking my legs.'"-Time Magazine, September 12th, 1983.

A Masterclass in Storytelling

This last season finale had me in tears! This show is spectacular. It’s incredible storytelling and the characters feel so real. To the creators, cast, and all involved in the production of Midnight Burger: thank you.

Current fav!

Not many podcasts out there with writing, or acting, this good! Much like the diner, I found it right when I needed it.

Edit: And it gets better as you go. Season 3 finale is up there with all my favorite books, movies, or any other great writing, and same goes for the acting and directing.
