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!

Great podcast great story great cast thank you

A friend recommended this to me and i have enjoyed ALL of it so far. Great story and characters! This story fills my in-between times at work, my drives to where i need to go, and keeps me awake way past my bedtime. Thank you guys very much!

By far my favorite fiction podcast. Very clever and very funny. Solid acting throughout. Definitely worth a listen if you like comedy, especially scifi comedy.

This is just the Best!!! Hands down my favorite podcast “audioDrama” ever!

I really like this for its more serious episodes but I think the ones I enjoyed the most were the dumb fun ones like fangs out. It honestly just feels like the characters having fun annoying people. The writing, sound, characters, voice actors, and world building are all just so amazing. The dinner needs to get a pet, or Leif a talking something. It also seems really subtle, but I’m pretty sure Ava and Casper are married but Ava comes from a timeline different where she choose a different career path and never meet Casper. Or, they’re going to get together but then again this show isn’t about love but about the story. Anyways I rambled on too long goodbye!

Now I’ve listened to a lot of audio fiction stories, and this is the best one yet. Great story line, character development, acting, and imagination. I will re-listen now that season three is over!

The mark of a great series is you realize new parts of the story on a re-listen. I’ve gone through it twice already, and there are so many callbacks, story line threads, etc. that I missed the first time. The story is incredibly well planned and unfolds in an entertaining way. The episodes have gotten progressively longer, but never felt longer.

What an experience! This podcast has it all, it has been an amazing journey. The Midnight Burger is a wonderful diner, I can only recommend it!

Pleasant surprise! Love the stories and the acting. Worth a listen if you enjoy science fiction comedy scripted podcasts

Love that I found this super good sci-fi pod!! Looking forward to march when you are back again!

It’s so well done. Truly beautiful and sarcastic, each character has such personality and growth in each season. These guys are legit the best audio experience and worth the wait every season. I can’t wait for season four. This is better than any TV show out there and if you’re looking for something better than a book, this is it. 100/10.

This last season finale had me in tears! This show is spectacular. It’s incredible storytelling and the characters feel so real. To the creators, cast, and all involved in the production of Midnight Burger: thank you.
