Being a nightshift worker AND autism parent, I pretty much stay home, isolated quarantine style just me and my little posse. In 2020 though the whole world joined me and freaked out for what was, to me, just a Tuesday. I feel for you all, I honestly do, but I was grateful for once to not feel sl alone in that situation, and that EVERYBODY could finally see for themselves what my life is day-in day-out.
I also made me appreciate this little place of mine I call home, my old but personality-filled house that I will cry about when I look upon it for the final time as a home. So please raise an ear with and enjoy these 5 fine songs about whatever place it is YOU call home.

Disappointingly enough, no one ever asks why I chose "After Midnight" as a title for a music podcast, and since y'all insist on not asking, it is because I wanted to make the kinda of podcast that I want to listen to during my working hours which are at night. Therefore it is quite baffling, if only to me, that I never before thought of "work" as an episode topic.
I truly do hope that after more than 2 years my little show found some, among my audience, for whom it has been a companion in the dark while everybody else is chasing Zees.

In this special offshoot of After Midnight, I ask listeners and Netizens to suggest songs related to the topic at hand, then alongside a special co-host review and discover those suggestions.

"Man is the only animal that blushes. Or needs to," said Mark Twain. The writer often showed his characters in embarrassing situations they are entirely responsible for, in a declaration that people can be more foolish than animals in their actions and that they should be aware of their own foolishness. Doubtful that science took the time to test whether animals do blush when under significant stress, but they do help relieve our own greatly, especially in uncertain times when the collective level of anxiety went high enough to freak out Nigel Tuffnel himself. So let us play a few songs in tribute to the many creatures we share our planet with.
