Gay Romance Blooms at Drive-Thru

A new scripted fiction podcast, 'Drive Thru Magic,' is scheduled to premiere on all podcast platforms on September 7, 2026. This upcoming audio drama centers on a gay romance that develops at a roadside drive-thru, where two men find connection through brief interactions. The narrative explores themes of love and grief, with creator Briggon Snow drawing inspiration from personal experiences.

Daniel J. Kim, known for 'Cobra Kai,' voices Louie, a pre-med student working a drive-thru job, who falls for a regular customer. Briggon Snow also stars as Gabe, a young man dealing with his grandmother's dementia, who finds solace in Louie's voice. Danielle Kennedy joins as Barb, a no-nonsense drive-thru employee. The series wrapped recording in Los Angeles earlier this summer. Atypical Artists, known for producing successful audio fiction like 'The Bright Sessions' and 'Rebel Robin: Surviving Hawkins,' is producing 'Drive Thru Magic.' Executive producer Lauren Shippen praised Snow's writing for its heartfelt, funny, and swoon-worthy blend of love and grief. The podcast aims to provide a poignant story about finding love during difficult times.
