  • Summary

  • "A must-listen indie podcast." - The Guardian "A beautiful, kind, wonderful story." - BBC Radio 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. At the nexus of all things, there is a diner. We open at 6.

This is a great backstory.

I love learning more about Leif's adventures before the diner. Can't wait for the next episode!

I never imagined that a fiction podcast would be this entertaining. The creators nailed this one to the wall. a little bit of science, a lot of funny all and all I am pleased I tried it out.

Great writing and performance!

The actors really lean into their characters and the writing is also surprisingly profound at times. But it's mostly goofy and weird. Love it!

10/10 story cast production

Trans-dimensional intergalactic character-driven motley crew mayhem. Simply the best audio drama out there.

Amazing podcast!

The concept of a diner that travels through the universe is a very clever idea. The characters personalities complement each other’s so well! And the old-timey radio just completes the entire thing. A must listen!

Amazing sci fi concept

I love everything about this show and I hope it continues to go on for much longer. Amazing cast who have natural chemistry with each other. The story as a whole is crafted very well and beautifully.
