Sometimes, when life is insane - makes no sense and everything seems to be against you - you might just need a cup of joe at a dimension-hopping, time-traveling diner. This narrative show is therapy for the soul, with characters who are both impossible and relatable simultaneously. The cast and crew of this show prove what's possible with modern narrative fiction. This show CANNOT be missed. They open at 6.

Midnight Burger is written by people who care about the message they send. While incredibly funny, and really great Sci-Fi, the podcast also delves into some real world issues really well. An example: in one episode of “Welcome to the Horizon”, a character asks why a certain alien race is so hated throughout the galaxy, asking ‘what they did wrong’. The alien’s Artificial Intelligence asks if the person knows about the Black Exclusion Law, a law passed after the Civil War in Oregon, prohibiting those of African decent to live in the state. The person says yes, and the AI simply responds: “well, what did they do wrong?” It’s one of the best, simplest, most powerful ways of communicating a powerful, meaning point I’ve ever seen, and I applaud it. Thank you Midnight Burger, Young Leif, and Welcome to the Horizon, you are amazing, and you get better every season, like jumping a shark backwards.

Immediately started over when i caught up. So so so good

This podcast has literally saved my sanity. In a world that’s become painfully unkind and divided, Midnight Burger makes the knot in my stomach unwind. I can genuinely love not only its characters, but the people who play them. I am truly honored to be a resident of Hood’s Pocket. That rabid pine martin in my house was a real surprise for me!!! Sometimes, when life gets too harsh, this old RN remembers that in another timeline I am part of Midnight Burger - and I find peace in that.

I stumbled upon this podcast while searching for audio dramas (commute guilty pleasure) and holy cow, what a surprise! I’ve snort laughed almost every episode. It’s so unique and clever!

Absolutely one of the kings of the audio drama scene. It’s up there with Old Gods of Appalachia, The Magnus Archives & The White Vault in terms of quality and story telling. They do everything exceptionally well. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen if you haven’t yet, you will almost assuredly be blown away.

I wish I could give it five stars. The script and acting are first rate. However, the editing is a mess. Too often half a scene will randomly repeat itself. I assume the editors failed to clean up outtakes.

I have no idea how this isn’t the Number 1 podcast on every single platform imaginable. Alas, I am honored my ears get to listen to it. One of a kind brilliance.

I’m currently listening to it again. Midnight Burger is the best. I’m hooked.

Please for the sake of this show and my sanity dial Gloria back!!!! I can’t take her tough guy act any more! Her character is awful

My highest recommendation! Thanks to Joe Fisher for creating a deep story with lots to think about!

I really like this show, super entertaining! however this is the most inconsiderate use of audio, sound effects and volume changes I have ever experienced. Listening to this in headphones is near dangerous because there will be quiet talking, walking down a hall for 45 seconds (gratuitous, it’s 2025 not 1922 era radio stories) and then a sudden extremely sound BANG or weird space sounds. It’s cool but this is a very solvable issue and one I have discussed with other listeners of the show as well.

I started listening to this at bedtime, which meant I missed a lot of episodes, but it served its purpose so I left it at that. One night though, an episode really caught my attention, so I became determined to actually listen to each episode completely. I have now listened to the entire show ten times over, and just can’t stop listening. Like other reviewers pointed out, each time I listen, I get caught up in a new storyline, or pick up on things I missed. Season four was off the charts good; definitely worth a listen!

This is both the best and worst podcast I’ve ever supported, Joe clearly adds some kind of subliminal audio that makes all other podcasts disappear, also some how the writing will make you both laugh and cry AT ONCE, it is an unkindness. I CANNOT describe how wonderful this podcast is, but just imagine the best meal you’ve ever had, and then shove it in your ears, and that’s Midnight Dinner, look just put this podcast “in your BODDY!” Please 19 more seasons and 4 movies at least.

Never been this sucked into a series! Absolutely addicted!!!

I like it funny and so interesting 🧐 ❤️

If there were a secret six star rating you could use exactly once, I would use it for Midnight Burger. I have other podcasts I like, but nothing comes close.

I can listen to this show over and over and get a new layer/experience every time.

I love this so much. The cast is amazing. Joe, I never know what you’re gonna come up with. You’re always keeping me on my toes. Thanks 🥰

this really fell off after the first season nothing but lectures and glorias tacos lol

This is one of the most genuine, heartfelt podcasts I’ve ever listened to. Midnight Burger is a brilliantly-written examination of the human condition, encased in all the sci-fi gobbledygook a Trekkie could ask for. Do yourself a favor and give this show a listen — you can thank me later.

This scratches every sci-fi itch you could ask for. The world they put you in is the best out there. Great characters, great stories. This really should be on TV it’s that good.

I am a fiction podcast junkie and this is the only podcast I subscribe to (sorry other loved podcasts). I can’t wait for the new episodes but I go back and listen again and again. Thanks for the blooper episode Joe.

I’ve been hooked since the first episode. The characters and world they have created pulls you in.

I’d first fallen in love with this form of audio drama/sci-fi many years ago, and it’s rare to find this excellent a cast, narrative, and production. Thank you all!

I seriously am so saddened right now because I just listened to the last episode of season 4! Now I have to start it again and wait until next season! Actors are amazing! I love them all! Your distinct voices help me to imagine the characters in color. Writing is funny, uplifting and terrifying at the same time. The humanity in each episode gives us hope that we will all be okay. Thank you all so much for entertaining us and helping us through tough days when we know we can take a break and travel amongst the stars for a while. Cannot recommend this more highly!

I love this show so much! My best friend recommended it because they couldn’t stop listening and I’m so glad they did. This is my absolute favorite podcast and highly recommended to everyone!

I think at the beginning it took me some time to understand the humor and what was going on. But by the middle of season 1 I couldn’t stop listening. I’ve literally heard seasons 1-4 twice.

Series started very interesting but seems to have lost quite a bit of what made it unique and intriguing in the first few seasons. It’s a lot less creative and a lot more lecture(ish)? lately. It started out really well though! Best of luck in your future projects! :)

Great show, production, actors, all of it. Thanks for putting it out for free for those who can’t afford to subscribe.

Stumbled across this when I was looking for a change of pace from true crime/spooky story shows. I absolutely LOVE the storyline, well developed characters and top shelf voice acting. I have blown through 3 ish seasons in about a month, I don’t want to be caught up!!!

Sweet baby Jesus this is the funniest story with amazing characters. Love love love. Big Day has me feeling emotions that I can’t explain. Tears fell but they were not sad tears nor joyful tears. What?

I love the show and can’t get enough of it. I look forward to each and every new episode sadly the one thing that I hate most and can’t stand is the 20 plus minutes of thanking each and every supporter at the end of each episode and it’s always the same ones.

Without hesitation, one of my top three favorite podcasts. It’s a wonderful and quirky journey across the universe(s?) with a transcendent messsge, all you need is love, and occasionally, arms that shoot missles. Okay, since you asked, the other three favorites are The Amelia Project, Desert Skies, and The Liminal Lands, and also Station 151. (Proofrock doesn’t math. Get over it.)

I don’t like sci fi much. I’ve never been into it. Until I found this podcast. I’ve listened to it twice all the way through and it’s helped me branch out and listen to more. This is the best audio drama podcast out there. Period.

The replayability of this show is astounding. Mind-blowingly well made and well written.

An incredibly thought provoking, fun, and ensnaring experience! I was hooked from the first episode and it’s been my go-to, feel good, stretch my brain or perspective show. I look forward to sitting in traffic and commuting solely because it means I can get lost in the story!

This weird heartfelt podcast is the perfect balm to my soul. Highly recommend.

I rate but never review podcasts. But I truly love Midnight Burger so much that I had to leave a review. The comedic use of theoretical physics is perfect for someone like me who loves hard sci-fi and shows like Futurama!

The writing and acting are superb, pacing is perfect. The use of sound effects is excellent - authentic sounds and a great use of them to move the story along without having to over narrate. There is not a single thing I would improve.

I’m loving midnight burger. It’s fun and philosophical with enough physics to elevate it. A sci fi gem that makes my commute more enjoyable.

Feel good comedy gold. Always puts me in a wonderful headspace I wish I could just live in . Has helped my anxiety and improved my mood hundreds of times over and not because it’s unlocked some unknown philosophical truths I’d never thought of but by just making me happy I highly recommend and gladly throw my 5$ at them every month to keep the good times going and hey it’s cheaper than a therapist lol.

Dr Who meets Bob’s Burgers. An absolute delight. Cozy spacetime travel at its best. I like the pace at 1.25x speed.

For a fictional podcast, this Sci-Fi series has amazing, thought provoking content. I have enjoyed every single episode. I highly recommend listening!

I’ve liked the show since episode 1 even though I was a little leery of whether or not I’d warm up to the radio hosts (I did). The show gets better and better. Season 2, Episode 2 was hilariously well written and acted. I haven’t laughed that much during a podcast.. ever. Thanks for the entertainment!

I have listened to this in its entirety a few times over waiting for new episodes and I NEVER get tired of listening to the gang at Midnight Burger! Keep up the good work Joe and Finlay❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve loved this show since the first episode, but as an Oregonian who’s lived next to Mt, Hood their whole life I am smitten with the mini-series! Couldn’t not cackle at the “my favorite pastime: drinking bourbon and complaining about the Trailblazers.” I’m devastated it’s going to end soon! Thank you so much!

I love this. This is the best way to connect with creators. Truly immersive, imaginative… immaculate even, storytelling. I’ve been trying to hack time for a very long time myself so I love the little metaphysics lessons intertwined (which is the very best way to teach and learn!!). My only complaint is that I want a new episode every day!

Just the best piece of fiction ever created, IMO. Please keep 'em coming folks! It's literally the only thing holding me together some days down here on Earth.

i listen to this podcast every waking moment of every day
