Red Apple Audio Networks has named Lionel as the new host of "The Other Side of Midnight," a syndicated overnight talk show originating from New York's 77WABC. Known for his wit and commentary, Lionel will bring his signature style to the airwaves live Monday through Friday from 1-5am ET.

A veteran broadcaster and television commentator, Lionel brings a unique mix of satire, legal insight, and cultural critique to the show, which is now heard on 23 radio outlets across the country, including WGN-AM in Chicago and WCCO in Minneapolis.

"Lionel brings intellectual depth and razor-sharp humor to every subject," said Chad Lopez, President of Red Apple Media and 77WABC. "He's already put his inimitable stamp on the show, and we've had a great response from listeners and affiliates."

A former prosecutor and one of the early pioneers of podcasting, Lionel has long been known for challenging conventional narratives. His return to WABC is both a homecoming and a new chapter.

"I'm honored beyond words to be back at WABC -- where it all began, my alma mater, the greatest talk radio station in the world," said Lionel. "This isn't just radio, it's home. It's the gold standard, the birthplace of giants. And now, I'm back where I belong."

The Other Side of Midnight with Lionel tackles politics, law, media, and the shifting dynamics of American culture, blending deep analysis with a dose of performance art.
