    The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel dives deep into the "witches' brew" hiding in the American diet, lifting the "Norman Rockwell filter" on beloved foods. We expose the chemical cocktails in favorites like bacon and turkey, including known carcinogens like nitrosamines, hormone disruptors, antibiotics leading to "slow immune sabotage," and the sodium bomb. Lionel also tackles pervasive health myths: is the Mediterranean diet really the cure-all, or was it post-war starvation rations?. Discover why smoothies might sabotage your health, what the food industry hides under the phrase "natural flavor," and why quick-fix fads like methylene blue distract us from the poisons we ingest daily.

  • Hour 2: Justice Or Just Validation? | 11-20-25

    Hour 2: Justice Or Just Validation? | 11-20-25
    Nov 20 2025
    This episode of "The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel" is an informative exploration of sexual predation, the challenges faced by victims, and the societal response to high-profile cases like Epstein. Lionel uses the Epstein story as a "tutorial" to dissect the deep-seated skepticism toward victims, particularly the notion of "asking for it" or failing to satisfy "societal muster". The conversation, featuring callers like Lynn and Dee, addresses the debilitating shock and fear experienced by victims, the devastating long-term effects of trauma, including low self-esteem and self-hatred, and the fear of confronting powerful perpetrators. The discussion also tackles the complex legal landscape, covering issues such as the difficulty victims face when seeking justice through litigation—often being accused of being "after the almighty buck" despite seeking validation—and constitutional concepts like due process, even for figures like Harvey Weinstein. Lionel stresses the critical need for parents to "inoculate" their children immediately against online and real-world predators, teaching them to speak up despite threats and manipulation. Ultimately, the show aims to shed light on how predators operate (often lacking a "judgment center" and favoring intimidation over seduction), and asks why society fails to prioritize the victim in these complicated matters.

  • Hour 1: Why Was Epstein Plucked? | 11-20-25

    Hour 1: Why Was Epstein Plucked? | 11-20-25
    Nov 20 2025
    This entertaining and informative show promises "the other side of truth and the other side of reality," moving beyond the "surface level stuff" and "drive by nothing" found on mainstream cable news. Lionel dives deep into the complex Epstein files, urging listeners to stop accepting easy answers and engage in critical thinking. He challenges the notion that the case was merely about sex tortion, arguing that Epstein's operation was primarily designed for extortion and blackmail. Furthermore, Lionel presents forensic evidence indicating that Epstein was killed/murdered—not a suicide—due to injuries like a fractured hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage. The episode focuses heavily on the nuanced issue of sexual predation and consent, specifically appealing to women—who "really know most about this"—for their perspective, claiming that men, who are often "dunderheaded blatoons," frequently miss the core issues by focusing only on embarrassing high-profile figures. Prepare to question everything you thought you knew, including the official narrative surrounding the case handling and the definition of a victim. Learn more about your ad choices.
