Midnight Burger
"A must-listen indie podcast." - The Guardian"A beautiful, kind, wonderful story." - BBC RadioWhen 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.

Welcome to the Horizon Part 8: The Green Man
“Even the Christians who cut down the sacred groves must have felt the loss, because they built their cathedrals with soaring columns like the trunks of trees and with vaulted ceilings ribbed and fanned like the canopy of a forest, and every where, in unexpected places, they carved the head of the Green Man–spirit of nature–peering out of his leafy dell, beautiful and challenging.” - Moyra CaldecottCast:Ben Burdick - FrankCamille Smicker - TrinkettIan Furguson - Tavrok StormbringerJoe Fisher - EldinWritten and Directed by Joe FisherProduced by Joe Fisher and Finlay StevensonMusic by Ian FergusonArt by Existentially Exhausted BeanSupport the show by Subscribing!Subscribe on Patreon (The one with the bells and whistles): https://www.patreon.com/midnightburgerSubscribe with Supporting Cast (The simple one): https://midnightburger.supportingcast.fm/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts (The Apple one): https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/midnight-burger/id1537653218For more information on our show, visit our website: https://www.weopenatsix.comHow about some merch? https://www.midnightburgermerch.comSign up for our newsletter: https://weopenatsix.beehiiv.com/All scripts available at: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IXV0JIBFw_IgDJhVeaeqL4UPQngvXHoQ?usp=sharingFor more information on our sponsors go to https://fableandfolly.com/partners/ Learn more about your ad choices.
