## Resource

Step into the weird and wacky world of late-night talk radio with The Other Side of Midnight . In this eclectic hour, host Walter Sterling dives deep into a smoky conspiracy theory, arguing that the thick yellow haze drifting down from Canada isn't a forest fire at all, but a massive, secret chemical waste burn-off that smells like burning plastic. The midnight madness continues as Walter chats with Wyatt Sharpe about Gen Z's surprising obsession with buying CDs. Matias Boom Boom gives the latest Hollywood box office scoop on why the new Supergirl movie bombed. Also, Walter chats with a Miss New Jersey pageant hopeful.
