## Resource

Tune in to another wildly unpredictable hour of late-night talk radio where Walter Sterling tackles everything from the profound to the absurd. Tonight’s eclectic mix features a heartwarming discussion with a retired teacher on discovering the hidden gifts in autistic children, a jaw-dropping look at the massive syndication payouts for the cast of Friends, and a fun behind-the-scenes anecdote about managing Pete Rose's radio show and his stack of pink message slips. Plus, Walter fields live calls spanning from the terrifying realities of the Red Alert missile app in Tel Aviv to an amateur voice actor seeking tips on how to authentically narrate a BDSM audiobook. Throw in a bizarre "Lesbians in Space" radio bit, an architectural conspiracy theory about the erased ancient empire of Tartaria, and a grumpy caller complaining about flags, and you’ve got a perfectly chaotic broadcast tailored for the "midnight misfits".
