My favourite sci fi podcast!

Midnight burger is such a lovely story, it escapes genre and it is really hard to describe, although sometimes to friends I say “imagine the best interpretation of American doctor who”. Even that feels reductive, so let me try again.

This is a story about people, and learning how to navigate a world that is at once incomprehensible, terrifying, cold, brilliant, and hilarious. The characters all ring deep and warm and the challenges they weather, whether an uncaring bureaucratic space empire or a blackhole goddess demon, all boil down to holding on to your strength, love, hope and trying to get through to people. It is so funny, has so much heart, and the world building is so vast and wonderful. I love a story that takes an insane premise and then takes it very seriously, peers at it and sees what excellent weirdnesses and truths can be teased out of it.

Things are drawn together, people need each other, and somewhere out there, at the nexus of all things, four people and a couple in a radio run a diner. Sit down for a coffee, tell them your story, they might just be able to help.
