Midnight Burger is written by people who care about the message they send. While incredibly funny, and really great Sci-Fi, the podcast also delves into some real world issues really well. An example: in one episode of “Welcome to the Horizon”, a character asks why a certain alien race is so hated throughout the galaxy, asking ‘what they did wrong’. The alien’s Artificial Intelligence asks if the person knows about the Black Exclusion Law, a law passed after the Civil War in Oregon, prohibiting those of African decent to live in the state. The person says yes, and the AI simply responds: “well, what did they do wrong?” It’s one of the best, simplest, most powerful ways of communicating a powerful, meaning point I’ve ever seen, and I applaud it. Thank you Midnight Burger, Young Leif, and Welcome to the Horizon, you are amazing, and you get better every season, like jumping a shark backwards.
