About the show
Midnight Signals is a documentary-style podcast about the stories history never quite explained: unsolved mysteries, disappearances and legends, told for listening in the dark. Between seasons, the show turns to original horror fiction and serialized audio drama.

Sponsorship
Midnight Signals partners with a small number of brands that fit the late-night, curious, story-driven spirit of the show. Every sponsor read is written and voiced by the host and recorded into the episode itself, so it sounds like part of the broadcast, not an interruption.
- Baked-in host reads: your spot becomes a permanent part of the episode, so it keeps reaching new listeners every time someone presses play, months or years from now
- Your link in the episode's show notes and in the YouTube description
- Sponsorship of a full series, such as a multi-part audio drama
