Midnight Radio: Daily Summaries Delivered
by iHeartPodcasts
Starring five-time Academy Award-nominee Ethan Hawke as "The Radio Man," MIDNIGHT RADIO is a new, fantastical horror podcast. Told in real-time through the lens of a cult-favorite late-night AM radio show, the series follows a host (played by Ethan) whose eerie, conspiracy-themed call-in program takes a chilling turn. One night, he receives a call from a man claiming to be part of a secret U.S. space mission lost to history—just the first thread in a sprawling web of government cover-ups, interdimensional breaches, and psychological warfare. As the broadcast unfolds, strange signals hidden in the radio static reveal themselves. With each episode building on the last, one question grows more urgent—who, or what, is really on the other end of the line? And what do they want? Created and co-written by Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill and produced by Under The Influence Productions (founded by Ethan Hawke and his wife, Ryan Hawke), Crooked Highway and Mickey Schiff in collaboration with iHeartPodcasts.

Phantom Cosmonauts
Heard a dead loved one on an open channel? Maybe contact from the stars? What have you heard in the static between stations on the dial? The lines are open to anyone with a tale about strange transmissions. Through a long night of calls, our host listens to stories of mysterious NASA transmissions surrounding the myth of the Phantom Cosmonauts. Until another call gets through—from a man who claims to know the transmission is fake. Because he was there. —- MIDNIGHT RADIO is a production of Crooked Highway and Under the Influence Created and written by Scott Derrickson & C. Robert Cargill Produced by Jimmy Bie, Mickey Schiff .
