The Midnight Citizen 295: “Get a Real Job”

What this episode covers

Join Mike outside on a Friday night. Hang out on the makeshift back patio with me while I reminisce on morning TV and what happened after that on those long hot days in the summer when you had nothing to do and all day to do it. Anyway, I was feeling real nostalgic today when I took a small break to take in a double feature — something I don’t get to do much these days when I’m driving for dollars and looking for more stable work. Later on in the night, I speculate on the identify of the mystery person who left an odd trinket on my podcast patio. My own personal Boo Radley? Or just some strange coincidence, as the artifact is, indeed, the facsimile of an old-time radio microphone. Also…an encounter I had this week with a real bad sport, and reviews-of-sorts of my Al Pacino double feature: Michael Mann’s The Insider (1999) and Sidney Lumet’s Serpico from 1973. ????Listen on Spotify and Apple Music: ?https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast…? …and be sure to join the ?Facebook page? and find me on ?Instagram?! “They say if you love a man’s garden, you gotta love the man.” This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike US License.
