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.

Where Midnight Burger ranks today in each Apple Podcasts chart (US, Sep 11, 2026).
A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.
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.
Bear-Owl · May 2025
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.
SuWaatz · May 2025
I stumbled upon this podcast while searching for audio dramas (commute guilty pleasure) and holy cow, what a surprise! I’ve snort laughed almost every episode. It’s so unique and clever!
Monkey_sox · May 2025
Absolutely one of the kings of the audio drama scene. It’s up there with Old Gods of Appalachia, The Magnus Archives & The White Vault in terms of quality and story telling. They do everything exceptionally well. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen if you haven’t yet, you will almost assuredly be blown away.
