Hour 2: The Disappearing Office | 04-07-26

Welcome to another unpredictable, frenetic hour of The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel. In this episode, Lionel dissects how the gig economy and the work-from-home revolution killed our collective spirit, trading office friendships for “Netflix neck,” sterile hot-desking, and men wearing backpacks instead of briefcases. He also loses his mind over the baffling Nancy Guthrie kidnapping cold case, exasperated that no one will just pay the one-Bitcoin ransom while fielding hilariously unhelpful conspiracy theories from amateur caller detectives. Finally, strap in for an unforgettable, brutally honest conversation with Donovan, a completely blind skier and insurance broker, who shares what he dreams about, how he scores airline discounts, and why people need to stop being so easily offended. It’s an entertaining, informative mix of cultural critique, true crime frustration, and wild caller interactions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
