    Ep. 300 | "Some New Beginnings"

    Join Mike in the studio for the last time…maybe? After 15 years and 300 shows, it all ends tonight. Bring out your drink of choice and make a toast with me as I say goodbye to this weird, wonderful podcast that’s been, altogether, not a bad way to document all the ups and downs of a random guy’s life in this world. Hear all about the show’s origins, the various stops-and-starts along the way, and, in the true spirit of randomness that The Midnight Citizen’s all about, take some hard digressions with me into an exploration of a wide variety of topics, including the surprising thing Filmmaker Kevin Smith and OC Bomber Timothy McVeigh have in common, pre-Star Wars George Lucas movies, fertility clinic waiting rooms, and a lot more! This is a jam-packed final episode that I prepared for very little and recorded LIVE, so anything could…and did…happen, like the cat unplugging the mic and camera for a little minute, and two surprise, special guests who dropped in like I was doing a 70’s Television Special!
