Show Notes

Join Mike in the studio late at night.

Tonight, to kick off 4th of July week, I bring to you some quotes from a barrage of great American patriots — George Washington, Justice Potter Stewart, Missile Command Champ and former Playgirl Centerfold Roy “Mr. Awesome” Schildt. From there, we get onto the idea of “underground” postal systems, which Thomas Pynchon talks about in his Crying of Lot 49, and how the Internet was kind of a natural successor to the Trystero system…until it got infiltrated by, among other sinister agents, your mom.

🎧 Thanks for listening to The Midnight Citizen! A new show drops every Saturday night! 🎧
