"It features some of the most successful music integration I’ve heard on a podcast. The first episode, in which the cast reflects on the lives of Amy Winehouse, Malik B., and Robin Williams, is sincere, funny, and remarkable."

"Although there is plenty of conversation, “The Midnight Miracle” is not a talk-radio-style podcast, nor is it a narrative show. There is none of the traditional scaffolding that we’re accustomed to on podcasts....The show treats podcasting like an opportunity to make experimental art. Unlike “Chappelle’s Show,” “The Midnight Miracle” doesn’t explicitly critique the traditional constraints or tropes of the form; instead, it has a blue-skies sensibility that simply sidesteps the customary practices of podcasting altogether."

"Funny, profound, maybe even GROUNDBREAKING…"

"...right out the gate, it’s already proving to be one of the most unique aural experiences we’ve ever had with the medium. Functioning like cold opens, these soundscapes propel us straight into a conversation before we can even begin to make sense of what’s happening. It’s jarring. But it’s also great fun to be along for the ride. It’s heavy and hilarious, just like the best Chappelle stage bits. And then, in episode two, the whole mood is flipped."

"So far they released two free episodes to consume. Episode 0 was funny. Episode 1 was longer and went through 3 emotions. Heartfelt, celebration, and amusement as they are told around their connections with 3 celebrities that passed away. I recommend it before they put behind the paywall!"
