Who am I?
I'm just a simple little bumpkin who lives in the remote areas of rural Florida. I'm a notary and caregiver, writer and sometimes gamer, living the Gen-X life (mostly avoiding people and popping out periodically to remove friction and then disappear like some random Zorro Auntie.) I am a notary and the people who come to my website are often in waiting rooms or visiting a loved one in a hospital, rehab, or hospice and can use some lighthearted distraction to bring some movement and humor to their time there, and not add to the intensity of it. The last time I saw my grandma, I stopped at Target and got a romance novel to read to her, and she loved it. I hated romance novels. 🤣But I made an exception for her. Podcasts are a natural buddy in waiting rooms.
What is my podcast playlist about?
Uplifting, diversionary, engaging, easy to pause and resume without losing the flow of story or humor.
1. Introducing - Midnight Burger
Why this podcast?
The very premise is golden- a time-shifting burger joint with random dice-roll properties. Add to that the very relatable anchor of being set in the burger joint with a main character that the listener can become comfortable with, it's pure diversion and uplift.
Introducing - Midnight Burger

Proudly introducing the mighty MIDNIGHT BURGER! - A story about a dimension-spanning, time-travelling diner and the employees that work there!
When Gloria took a waitressing job in a diner outside of Phoenix, she didn’t realise she was now an employee of Midnight Burger, a time-travelling, dimension-spanning diner. Every day Midnight Burger appears somewhere new in the cosmos along with its 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 who could really use a cup of coffee.
