Hour 1: Spies, Lies, and Ham Radio Guys | 04-20-26

Tune in to The Other Side of Midnight, the only live late-night talk show keeping you company when the rest of the dial is just running repeats. Hosted by the sharp and unfiltered Walter Sterling, this podcast tackles the eclectic, the bizarre, and the breaking news you won't hear anywhere else. From missing space program scientists and cryptic shortwave spy broadcasts in Farsi, to the staggering million-dollar bureaucracy behind building a single New York City public bathroom, Walter covers it all. Featuring an eccentric mix of guests and callers—including retired NYPD detectives, international ham radio operators, and Hollywood insiders—the show effortlessly bounces from serious geopolitical analysis of the Strait of Hormuz to hilarious rants about in-laws, Ted Koppel's hair, and the bureaucratic nightmares of public school air conditioning. Settle in for radio done right—it's a little bit of news, a little bit of a radio bullfight, and a whole lot of fun. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
