On this special Christmas Eve edition of The Other Side of Midnight, Lionel welcomes his wife, Lynn Shaw, for a festive yet urgent "Warrior Wednesday". The couple moves from discussing the glitzy New York premiere of Marty Supreme to Lynn’s powerhouse background as a Broadway producer of hits like Hairspray and Jersey Boys. However, the holiday cheer is balanced by a deep dive into the "dark and ugly" corners of the digital world, including the rise of "pig butchering" scams, the hidden surveillance risks of AI toys, and the manipulative power of TikTok algorithms. This episode serves as a critical wake-up call for families to reclaim their children’s attention from Big Tech and become vigilant warriors in their own homes.
