Hour 3: Shortwaves & Long Rants | 04-02-26

Join Lionel on a wild, unfiltered journey through the cosmos of human curiosity on The Other Side of Midnight. In this eclectic hour of late-night talk radio, Lionel takes you from the mysteries of particle physics, black holes, and UAPs to the nostalgic, lost arts of climbing trees, playing board games, and reading children's books like Ferdinand the Bull. Featuring a colorful cast of eccentric callers—including an 86-year-old who hands out $2 bills, a dedicated fan tuning in via shortwave radio from Quebec, and a self-proclaimed "comedic terrorist" armed with a prank spray called "liquid ass"—this episode perfectly balances deep philosophical questions about free speech and the First Amendment with pure, unadulterated absurdity. Tune in to expand your mind, master the Chicago accent, and explore the wonderful weirdness of humanity. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
