About this listen

 "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. Science Fiction

love the quirky ideas and the science fact and fiction. stops off with a bit of doctor who and quantum leap. solving issues as the restaurant lands in different places. and then as the story develops following the characters through the universes and ted triad. always looking forward to Casper's next adventure.

The humour is great

This is such a cool nerdy trip in to space. The character development is excellent, the story telling superb. But Audible loading is appalling. Repeats chunks mid episode and has entirely lost the end of chapter 32 ☹️

Awesome - except the edit

Not sure now how i stumbled across this, but am i glad i did. The theater of the cast is awesome, the sound bites add to the environment, and the story keeps me opening the next episode without pause. Science fiction at its best, with moments that make you ponder about the cosmos and other stuff....

Great work, now for season 2

Must Listen!!!

I first listened to this podcast on a different app that rhymes with schmotify. I'm listening again on this app so I can get the experience all over again. This podcast starts as a zany, story of the week, sci-fi fun adventure; but gets pretty deep pretty quick. Immersive sound effects really ground the story, making you feel as if you are listening in on actual events, and the characters soon feel like old friends.

This show makes me giggle but also has that rare ability to make me care about the characters. Not an easy task. The writing is wonderful, the cast is amazing. I hope everyone finds this wonderful story.

SciFi with heart
