Sometimes, when life is insane - makes no sense and everything seems to be against you - you might just need a cup of joe at a dimension-hopping, time-traveling diner. This narrative show is therapy for the soul, with characters who are both impossible and relatable simultaneously. The cast and crew of this show prove what's possible with modern narrative fiction. This show CANNOT be missed. They open at 6.

Midnight Burger is written by people who care about the message they send. While incredibly funny, and really great Sci-Fi, the podcast also delves into some real world issues really well. An example: in one episode of “Welcome to the Horizon”, a character asks why a certain alien race is so hated throughout the galaxy, asking ‘what they did wrong’. The alien’s Artificial Intelligence asks if the person knows about the Black Exclusion Law, a law passed after the Civil War in Oregon, prohibiting those of African decent to live in the state. The person says yes, and the AI simply responds: “well, what did they do wrong?” It’s one of the best, simplest, most powerful ways of communicating a powerful, meaning point I’ve ever seen, and I applaud it. Thank you Midnight Burger, Young Leif, and Welcome to the Horizon, you are amazing, and you get better every season, like jumping a shark backwards.
So good

This podcast has literally saved my sanity. In a world that’s become painfully unkind and divided, Midnight Burger makes the knot in my stomach unwind. I can genuinely love not only its characters, but the people who play them. I am truly honored to be a resident of Hood’s Pocket. That rabid pine martin in my house was a real surprise for me!!! Sometimes, when life gets too harsh, this old RN remembers that in another timeline I am part of Midnight Burger - and I find peace in that.
