In this new installment of Curious Matter Presents, we are featuring Midnight Burger Season 1 Episode 6. This hilariously addictive romp through the cosmos has taken the audio fiction world by storm and is currently nominated for BEST FICTION PODCAST in the 2024 Podcast Academy Awards, aka the Ambies! Joe Fisher is on today to tell us a little bit about how this time-traveling dimension-hopping adventure popped into the universe. A little bit more about Midnight Burger: 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. "When the waves of the universe crash unrelentingly, when the stars seem indifferent to your plight, suddenly there is a diner." We open at 6. Oh no, this time the diner has found itself in a dystopian Earth where the ads are LITERALLY stuck in your head. That's right, it's the worst dystopia of all. No mohawks, no zombies, no improvised weaponry... just more ads.
