December 04, 2022 MTO Presents: Midnight Burger
A special between-episodes bonus for you! We're thrilled to present the first episode of Midnight Burger, an audio drama about a diner at the end – and somehow the beginning – of the universe.
Episode transcript here: https://www.weopenatsix.com/transcripts.html
Intro transcript:
Hi folks! Deej here, writer slash producer slash just about everything else on the show at one point or another - here to bring you one of our between-weeks episode swaps, where we introduce you to a show that we really love and think you'll enjoy too. And that's never more true than today, when we're introducing you to the incredible, wonderful, spectacular and special Midnight Burger.
Every once in a while, you run across a story that's like nothing you've ever listened to before - even though we all steal elements from what's come before, something that mixes those elements, adds in a twist of special flavour, and just cares so damn much about giving it truth and joy that, no matter how wild the thing might sound from the outside, it's so perfectly, uniquely itself that you can't help but be captivated. I'm rambling, I know, but Midnight Burger is that sort of thing. It's like Wolf 359 but not; Doctor Who but not; that diner scene in Spaceballs but not; it's not really like anything, but if you like sci-fi adventure with a focus on memorable characters and a huge serving of heart, this is sure to hit your sweet spot.
I guess I should include their actual synopsis as well, now that you've got my recommendation for the thing. Joe sent me this description: "When Gloria took a waitressing job in 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."
Maybe I should have just said that to start with. Anyway, here you go. Give this a listen - it's the full first episode of the series; then when that's done go find the show in your podcast apps or on their site and keep on listening. You definitely won't be sorry.

November 20, 2022 MTO Presents: Give Me Away
A special bonus episode: Give Me Away, episode 1, from our friends at Gideon Media!
Episode transcript and show info are available on their website: https://www.gideon-media.com/transcripts
Intro transcript:
Hi folks - we're taking the chance between weeks of MTO to introduce you to another show we think you might be into. Today, we're introducing Give Me Away, a new sci-fi story by Mac Rogers and the team behind his hit audio drama, Steal The Stars. Give Me Away is based on a pretty spectacular original concept - what if there were consensual body snatchers, aliens that co-exist in the minds of humans who accept them. Sharing relationships, adventures, discoveries - it's like, what if Venom were the buddy comedy that TikTok made it out to be? What would happen when two utterly different lives share the same body? Give Me Away is an ensemble show exploring the why, and how, and what would happen from that choice - all within the frame of a sci-fi thriller that will definitely keep your attention.
So give this episode a listen - and if it grabs you, look for the next eight episodes in your favourite podcast app. And you can find credits, transcripts, and more info at Gideon dash Media dot com. Enjoy!
