Outpost MG-5 was created with many goals in mind. Exploring the infinite unexplained phenomena the universe has to offer. Probing the deep mysteries of life's existence and purpose. And seeking answers for why we're all so fucked in the head. All of these disparate ambitions converge as our inescapable flaws meet our limitless ability to survive by the skin of our teeth, at the furthest edges of known reality.

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]

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.

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.

Midnight Public Radio asks the question: what if This American Life was a whole lot less serious, a good deal weirder and 100% made up? Every episode explores a different theme, as host banal coastal elite Ari Wood and his rotating crew of producers, journalists, editors, and audio freelancers uncover a comedy treasure trove of stories. Brought to you by DC sketch group the Midnight Gardeners League, in collaboration with Next Chapter Podcasts, MPR will take you from the gravy monasteries of Italy to the seedy world of underground caterpillar racing and beyond, all without one single damn pledge drive.
