Hour 1: Escaping Biological Limits | 03-19-26

from The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel · host 77 WABC

Dive into the wee hours with Lionel on The Other Side of Midnight as he tackles the bizarre, the philosophical, and the downright wacky. In this episode, Lionel attempts to unpack the existential dread of transhumanism—exploring AI brain implants, designer babies, memory wiping, and whether upgrading our biology means erasing our humanity. Meanwhile, he hilariously battles oblivious late-night callers who just want to brag about their routine cataract surgeries and bionic hips instead of debating the ethics of playing God. Plus, a provocative teaser on why the emotion of "hate" might actually be a necessary and functional part of the human experience. It's entertaining, informative, and completely unpredictable.
