Description

On this hour of "The Other Side of Midnight", Lionel discusses the psychology and importance of fear with callers and guests. This segment explores the concept of fear as a necessary survival instinct, differentiating between normal anxiety and hyper-realized phobias, and touches on neurology versus psychiatry regarding emotional responses. The host and callers discuss specific fears, like galeophobia (fear of sharks) intensified by the movie Jaws, and the evolutionary roots of other common phobias. The conversation also briefly includes tangential topics, such as cryptids like Bigfoot and crop circles, and the host's reaction to a caller who attempts to steer the subject toward political commentary about Trump.
