This podcast has got me through so much- it is the best - The characters are so lovable. Needless to say I’m very attached to them. I hope this podcast never ends. My projects at home like seem to fly by because I’m just working away and listening enjoying my time. Midnight burger makes life better.

Love the science and the humor!

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.

I’ve listened to a lot of fiction podcasts at this point, and this is one of the best. The sound design, voice acting, plot twists, everything is top-notch. But what really blew me away was the writing. The dialogue is funny, smart, interesting, and even beautiful at times…and unique in a way that I’ve never seen exhibited by any form of media! Give it a listen, you won’t regret it.

Saw this listed a few times and wasn’t sure I’d enjoy. Welp I took the plunge and loved it! Can’t wait for new season to begin. Want more!

I listen to these podcast all the time and I have to say this is likely one of the most enjoyable ones that I have ever heard. If they gave 10 stars this would get 11 but they only give five and that’s all I can give you guys congratulations job well done! Also, thank you for leaving all the WOKENESS out. It made it something that I could listen to from the beginning to the end the subtleties that were in there of left leaning culture we’re just that, subtle, it was enjoyable, thank you.

I have never found a audio show I loved more. I’ve laughed, cried, and felt all the emotions with all the characters. I love the story, the voices, the twists and turns. I lost myself in this show and was sad when I binged it all. I can’t wait for more. I could see this as an actual tv series. I highly recommend you go on a trip with midnight burger you won’t regret it!!!!!!!

I came across this show by accident and have never been more pleased. Phenomenal writing, acting and storyline. I have ignored all of my favorite weekly podcasts binging this crazy entertaining show. It’s thoughtful, intelligent, hilarious and engaging. Hurry up! They open at 6!!!!

I love this series. It’s so cleverly written! Witty, sweet, sarcastic and a little mean. There’s a few shows I share with everyone, this is one of them. ❤️

I am a fanatic about this show. I listen to this while I work and it makes my day so much more pleasant. The voice acting and sound quality is amazing along with the story lines and connections to real life things. Makes fictional stories feel like they could be happening right alongside you

I listen to a lot of fiction podcasts. So far, this one is the best. Please give it a listen. The sound design is 10/10. The voice acting is 100/10. And the writing is 10000/10. They have created characters that I want to root for. They are funny and deep and remarkably human. I hope the writers and actors know how thankful we are.

I’m a big podcast person but have only ever done the traditional format- nothing fiction or storytelling. I feel bad for every other fiction podcast that this was my first taste! The bar is high. So fun to listen to and I find myself laughing out loud quite a bit. Will be recommending to friends.

I had been searching for a good podcast that would help me quiet my mind and be able to have a moment of distraction and peace. This show made it possible, both funny and interesting, offers a new and exciting story. A big Thanks to the producers and a sign for other listeners to follow the show. (At least the first episodes that I have listened to rock

Wow, what a gem of a story!! The characters are relatable and funny. The creativity involved is epic. This is the kind of story that makes you feel like you are a better person from hearing it. It's about relationships, humanity, love, friendship, and the big ideas of the nature of the universe and the mystery of consciousness. All presented in a silly, and easy to listen to entertaining story. I loved it! A very surprising treat!

Midnight Burger is an Outstanding show! Finally something on par with The Byron Chronicles

(Podcasthood? Podcastship? Podcasticism?) I listen to lots of podcasts. Mostly comedy, some improv and some scripted; some sci-fi/adventure, some drama …. I’ve been at it since my first clickwheel iPod (it had a spinning hard drive in it! Google it, kids!). IOW, I’ve heard lots. Over a long, long time. Never ever have I left a review before. (“Someone else will …”) But I love this show too much not to say it out loud. The writing … the acting … the sound design and production values … holy smokes, you guys. Midnight Burger strikes this amazing balance between laugh-out-loud moments (literally laughing out loud, attracting stares) and incredible character development. You’ll genuinely come to care about these people and their time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. So much heart. So much talent. It’s so good you’ll feel guilty listening for free. (At least I did … that’s why I joined their Patreon.) Listen to it. Just … listen. If I could leave a six-star review, I would.

It is clear this is the best show available to listen and enjoy yourself with. I can’t wait to see what amazing new stories come out after season 3 keep up the good work. Cast and writers are amazing!!!!!!

I stumbled on to this show a while back, and in the time since I’ve listened to the entire podcast series at least 3 times. I’ve looked for other shows to listen to while waiting for the next season of midnight burger but none of them are as good. Hands down best fiction podcast around!

Had a lot of laughs. Looking for Scifi-comedy? This is for you

I’m starting to listen from the beginning for a second time and it’s even better !

Stopped in for a taste and now I’m a regular. The story is fresh and flavourful. The cast is an unexpected mix that brings me back for more. More than a few moments brought me to tears. Came in for a quick light meal stayed for the full course and dessert.

Midnight burger is hands down better than any television show or podcast that I’ve seen or heard. There are roughly 720 hours in the month and unfortunately only 2 hours of midnight burger.

I love everything about this show. I stumbled upon it after listening to some other, similar shows, and I’ve been binging it since. It’s weird, sweet and hilarious 10/10 recommend

I waited too long to break into what is without a doubt one of the best new prospects to not only audio fiction comedy but rather to audio fiction as a whole. I'm still not all the way through and honestly I find myself delaying finishing it just so that I still have the ability to listen to more. Madness, I know! Great writing, great overall quality. Worth the hype!

I think it takes a lot of effort to put together a podcast script and voice act lines, and so I rarely criticize those components so early on in a production. I can tell already each of the characters are really distinctly styled in terms of voice and each person is trying to get a feel for the character and define them not just by voice but in manner of speaking (how bugs bunny and daffy duck for example both have different layers to the way they speak that build their personality). However as of episode 2 I find the stories are told just too boringly. Maybe the work picks up in later seasons, but as of season 1 the characters themselves are too weak and have too little personality to make the basic humour (a gambler who is bad at gambling but really into gambling for example) seem witty, creative or charismatic. Plus episode 2 (spoilers) focuses on landing on a planet where its revealed a monstrous looking creature was created purely to eat other creatures of the same make, which sounds psychologically horrific in theory but it’s a huuuuuuuge leap to assume a creature that demonstrates in the show to have all the intelligence of a typical cow (chasing a mandible bone is the equivalent of a dog chasing a squirrel) to be in existential hell over this reality. There isn’t enough new to make the show interesting. Which sucks because the voice acting is quite enthusiastic. The sinkers were the toilet humour of ‘talking about poop’ in a way that was very Y7 TV and the I have a low bar for humour but if your characters are delivering stiff script, toilet humour should be left until you’ve delivered some other humour successfully. And the show isn’t dark enough yet for the bible verses to come across as weirdly… preachy instead of ominous and maybe philosophical.

I listened casually the first four or five episodes and then binged all three seasons. This show is amazing !! The characters are insanely well rounded and lovable, and if found family is your thing, you will love it. Its got a lot of gentle science and philosophy that peaks your interest but isn’t overly pedantic or confusing. It handles some serious themes while remaining a cozy listen. It’s a true sci-fi in that it’s about the present but still has time travel and explosions and aliens. If you like Juno Steel you will probably like this! Give it a listen :)

As someone with serious ADHD, I have never enjoyed TV like my peers. Sitting by the TV for extended periods of time is impossible. Since discovering Midnight Burger, I have been raving about how awesome it is to “watch TV for my ears.” I can listen to Midnight Burger while I drive, do hobbies, clean, and so much more. I love the writing and the way the voice actors tell the story. It’s emotional but not depressing and makes me laugh out loud. Midnight Burger has introduced me to a genre I never knew existed and now podcast radio shows are my favorite thing. If you’ve ever worked in the food industry, Midnight Burger will hit even closer to home (don’t we all have stories about a disappearing Parmesan shaker?). I totally recommend you check this show out!!

Just an amazing high quality show. The writing is smart, engaging and creative. The acting is as good as any Hollywood production and you really care about the characters. So incredibly well done from the scripts to sound design. Love this.

I downloaded the first episode about a year ago and put off listening for a long time. About a month and a half ago I started listening, and I’ve now caught up on 3 seasons worth of content. It’s an incredible show that is mostly silly but handles the serious moments extraordinarily well. I cannot wait for more!

I love this podcast! The story line is amazing and you can’t help but fall in love with all the characters. I’ve been binge listening and can’t put this one down. It’s made me laugh out loud a lot, keep up the amazing work and please keep the episodes coming!
