What’s poppin’ Thegronis!?
We have some crazy bananas news to share with you all. Our podcast has surpassed a crazy bananas milestone:
We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support, for tuning in, and for being a vital part of our journey. Your enthusiasm and dedication have played an instrumental role in bringing us to this crazy bananas number. We can’t believe it!
Into the Woods
We hope you're enjoying/weirded out by our latest episode, "Chapter 27: Weird Night at the Sheep's Eye." It was a lot of fun for us to check back in with Frank and June and delve a little further into the weird little town of Hood’s Pocket, Oregon.
Oregon holds a special place in my heart, as it is where the majority of the Midnight Burger cast members first came together back when we were teeny tiny babies. Having lived there in the past, we all experienced firsthand the uniqueness of rural Oregon. It's an unusual blend of deeply conservative people, societal dropouts, back-to-the-land farmers, and rich people pretending that they’re roughing it. Oregon gets weird in a way that other states just don’t and that made it a fitting backdrop for our perennially bizarre narrative.

A Reminder:
If you didn’t hear the news, this season will be extended to 12 episodes instead of our usual ten. Why did we do this? Because we do what we want! This season will conclude with "Chapter 32.”
