Hour 2: The Tartarian Cover-Up | 04-28-26

Dive deep into the rabbit hole with Walter Sterling on The Other Side of Midnight. This episode uncovers a wild alternative history surrounding America's massive 19th-century insane asylums. Were they actually built to treat mental illness, or were they giant warehouses designed to silence people who remembered the world before the mysterious "Mud Floods" and the Great Reset? From 6,000-bed institutions built in empty Long Island potato fields to the erased, free-energy civilization of Tartaria, Walter explores the ultimate historical cover-up by Gilded Age elites who replaced our healing bells with a metered economy. Along the way, callers chime in with stories of wives committed simply for "nostalgia" or complaining, women locked up for speaking Ukrainian, debates over 19th-century submarines powered by oars, and some surprisingly solid financial advice for a 22-year-old college grad.
