Hour 1: From Demons to the DSM | 01-16-26
- Posted January 16, 2026
It’s “Ventilation Friday” on The Other Side of Midnight, and Lionel is reclaiming the “nutso hour” from the critics who dismiss overnight radio listeners as the “flotsam and jetsam” of humanity. In this episode, Lionel dissects the history and weaponization of the label “crazy”—from the demonology of Mesopotamia and the horrors of Bedlam to the CIA’s psychic “Operation Stargate” and the subjectivity of the DSM. He tackles modern controversies like Candace Owens’ time-travel theories and the “mental illness” of political dissent, while debunking myths about Tourette’s and “Berserker” Vikings.
