Midnight Radio Gives the Midnight Community a Place on Air

Thomas Mulligan created Midnight Radio with a question in mind: how could more people find a place in the Midnight community?

Known as TomJon, he wanted to give musicians, artists, writers, and other creators a way to take part alongside developers and technical contributors. The result is a community radio project with live music, shows, and opportunities for listeners to submit their own work.

The station is available through its website and inside Midnight City, where users can tune in from their virtual rooms.

The People Behind the Signal

In an article for Learn Midnight, Mulligan explained that he wanted to create a place where people could belong. As the community grew, newcomers arrived with different skills and interests, but some were unsure where they could contribute.

Radio offered a way to bring those interests together. Someone might make music, produce a video, write a comedy segment, or help tell a story. Mulligan envisioned a station that could be educational, creative, and occasionally sarcastic, reflecting the personalities of the people involved.

He also recognized the contributors who helped shape the project. dvnc helped with operations and turning ideas into working features, while Omega followed stories and developments across Midnight. Maestro brought experience in audio and broadcast production.

Mulligan also acknowledged Spy, ScottishKing, Holly, Dips, PhelpsGG, ET, Loza, and Sages_and_Pages for their encouragement, ideas, and involvement. The Midnight Radio website identifies TomJon and dvnc as the people managing the project, with Echo as an AI collaborator.

Music and Shows Made With the Community

Listeners can tune in through the player on Midnight Radio’s homepage, request songs from the available catalog, and boost tracks they enjoy. A separate player window allows the stream to continue while users browse other websites, and a video broadcast is available through YouTube.

Creators can submit finished songs through The Transmission Vault. Tracks are reviewed before they are added to the station, and contributors must have permission to share their music and allow it to be broadcast.

In a video tour of the website, TomJon describes opportunities for singers, instrumentalists, and electronic music creators, as well as people experimenting with AI tools. The site includes a link to Suno for visitors interested in creating music.

The programming also makes room for conversation. The Music and News and Banter and Music Show features news, discussion, and reviews of submitted songs. The Question of the Day Archive Show revisits responses to questions posted in the Midnight Discord server. Listeners can find episodes through podcast and on-demand options.

Beyond the audio stream, Choose Your Transmission collects videos from across the ecosystem, including music, podcasts, educational content, and community productions. Authors can submit videos for review. The site also offers a meme vault and Community Signal Boost, where members can recognize someone’s contribution.

A Bunker, a Radio Dial, and a Way Into Midnight

Midnight Radio’s creative identity centers on a signal broadcasting from an undisclosed bunker. Its Lore section presents a fictional story about an underground transmitter and a group seeking greater control over their assets and personal information.

The number 104 is part of that story and appears in Midnight City as well. In his website tour, TomJon explains that users can add a radio to their virtual room and select channel 104 to hear the station.

For listeners who want to explore further, the site links to Midnight Discord, Midnight Academy, Midnight City, information about Midnight Passport, wallets, and the ambassador program. It also includes a link to SongMarketCap’s Midnight News.

The platform’s Signal Chat gives listeners a place to talk about the music. Anyone can read the conversation, while verified members of the Midnight Discord community can sign in through Discord to post.

Midnight Radio states that listening and participating are free, while voluntary support is available through a Lace wallet. In his original introduction to the project, Mulligan invited people to contribute in ways that suited their skills, from producing music and arranging guests to researching stories and creating artwork for the station.
