Starting point is 00:01:12 drama about a time-traveling, dimension-spanning diner. We met Gloria, who had just lost her tacharia to the pandemic.

Starting point is 00:02:21 They narrowly escaped an alternate reality earth where ads are mandatory. Can you hide me somewhere? This desperate plea is brought to you by Arby's. Arbys, we have the meats. They discovered a hidden dimension inside their deep freeze. Holy shit. There's a pocket dimension in the deep hole. And they sailed into the dark heart of a supermassive black hole.
Starting point is 00:02:42 I have five theories about one. What awaits us inside the black hole? Would you like to hear them? I really wouldn't. Over the course of 10 episodes, people started discovering us. Posts started popping up on Reddit. Then we were hitting the top 20 on Apple's charts. Then the top 10.
Starting point is 00:02:58 And then, a few times, number one. And then the Guardian labeled us a must-listen indie podcast. The response was overwhelming. And now, as we go into season two, starting in November, we're asking for your help. Midnight Burger will always be free to listen to, but it's not free to make.

Welcome to Magenta Presents, a new horror anthology hosted by me, Madam Magenta. We begin with the five-part miniseries Ghosted, starring Beth Eyre and Lucy Roslyn.

But to Beth's horror, her first guest is a figure from a past she has tried to forget. Kira? Beth? What the fuck? Face to face for the first time in years. The pair must reckon with old mistakes, old grievances. Beth, speak to me.
Starting point is 00:05:17 Shut up, shut up, shut up! And something else. Oh, I can't bear it. What is that noise? Because the lighthouse has a past too. Beth, he's right there. Why is there blood on your hands? We need to get out of here.
