Midnight Burger

<p>"A must-listen indie podcast." - The Guardian</p><p>"A beautiful, kind, wonderful story." - BBC Radio</p><p>When Gloria took a waitressing job at a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn't realize she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with it's staff: a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Caspar. No one knows who built Midnight Burger or how it works, but when it appears there's always someone around who could really use a cup of coffee.</p><p>At the nexus of all things, there is a diner. We open at 6.</p>
