Midnight Public Radio

Space dementia is only ever a short nihilistic shame spiral away when you've spent months or even years deployed across the vast expanses of our universe. And creeping thoughts of existential dread can lead to major catastrophes in all the various genre-specific scenarios that play out on space stations like Outpost MG-5. That's why all onboard are provided with distractions such as realistic recreations of restaurants on Earth, self-guided wildlife preserves, and the knowledge that some people just have it easier in life, no matter how unfair it may seem.

Technology may change. Fashion may change. Even society's values may change. But the one thing remains the same, even in as unusual a place as the space station Outpost MG-5, is that nothing is free. You've got to pay the bills somehow. And while the galaxy may be full of all sorts of exciting career paths, there'll always be someone who has to scrape the muck, hock the junk and hold it together when their idiot superiors screw things up big time. So why not explore the eternal banality of the working class in the far future? If you can think of a good reason, send us a solid reprimanding at: [email protected]

The people who live, work on or just come to visit on Outpost MG-5 do so for a variety of reasons. Some do so to engage in advanced scientific research, including testing the limits of the space time continuum to avoid public humiliation. Others come to trade goods they gathered from the far corners of the galaxy, like violent alien parasites. While others seeks to offer their services in defense of humanity, with limited success. Whatever their reasoning, it all makes for excellent audio content. If you can think of something better to listen to on your boring commute, let us know at [email protected]

The long wait is finally over! On Thursday, December 1, season 2 of Midnight Public Radio launches into a whole new audio frontier. The MPR vaults have been unsealed and our archivist have been carefully restoring the long-forgotten but beloved sci-fi radio drama "Outpost MG-5," bringing you 5 episodes compiling some of the most acclaimed, scenes and storylines. Listen to the trailer and stay on the edges of your seats for this eerily prescient, oddly prurient and hilariously plausible look into humanity's possible future amongst the stars. 

Life-ending innovations, resurrection addicts, funerary gatherings, and a debate over mortality. All things must pass, and in the season finale, Midnight Public Radio examines exactly how many thousands of ways there are to shift off this tiresome mortal coil and take a nice long dirt nap. For even if it were possible for life to go one forever, it still wouldn't take that long to burn through every terrible Netflix documentary and long-forgotten season of House Hunters International, leaving us with a whole lot of time to stare into the nothingness, bored as sin.

Civil unrest in an unusual Eastern European country, a long forgotten military tradition, a showdown at an old folks' home, and the best battles in history. War may be hell. But as Midnight Public Radio uncovers, it's also kind of fun? For where us are we able to give ourselves over to the darker parts of our nature, and also see some crazy big explosions and like, cool jets and stuff.

Porpoises in need of transport, trained guard tarantulas, maniacal helper monkeys, and sexually frustrated parasites. The natural world is full of strange and wonderful creatures whose animal kingdoms stretch to every corner of the globe. And Midnight Public Radio peers under every slimy rock and in every filthy warren to identify and better understand them, and by proxy, humanity. For humans are just another dumb beast that lives only to eat, sleep, mate and defecate, despite our existential presumptions of self-awareness.

Ecclesiastical sauces, remote gourmands, questionable food regulations, and historic cooking competitions. The culinary arts truly are an eclectic and curious domain. For where would we be without a hot bowl of muck in our bellies or a cloudy glass of fresh hose water splashing against our wet lips? The answer, as the Midnight Public Radio explains, is that we'd all be desiccated corpses having our scabby tongues pulled out of hollow skulls by wasteland scavengers.

Caterpillar abuse, superstitious diarrhea, falls from grace, and roller-skating intolerance. In every society across the world, sports leave their mark in some way or another, and Midnight Public Radio is there to explore every aspect of them, from goalpost to end zone. For futile displays of strength and skill are, in some ways, are our greatest distraction from the unstoppable march of time and the inescapability of the void.
