0:00.0	Hey there, since you're listening to Unend, we can only assume that you're a fan of stories
0:05.7	featuring a cast of mismatched weirdos exploring the cosmos together in a very unconventional vessel.
0:12.2	Maybe you also like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Doctor Who, The Good Place, or everything everywhere all at
0:18.1	once. If that sounds like you, let us do you a favor and tell you about a little indie audio drama
0:25.0	called Midnight Burger.
0:27.5	When Gloria took a waitressing job and a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn't realize she was
0:31.7	now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-traveling dimension-spanning diner.

Every day, Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos, along with its staff, a galactic drifter, a rogue theoretical physicist, a sentient old-timey radio, and some guy named Casper.

1:42.5	Oh, no. I don't think I'm dead.
1:45.9	I'm definitely not sure where I am, though.
1:49.5	Cleo may be wondering if Merlin is in heaven,
1:53.5	but at first glance, it really looks more like he may be in hell.
2:01.6	Like old school, classical fire and brimstone type of hell.
