ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Unfiltered thoughts from the night shift.
After fifteen years teaching and twenty-five in corporate life, retirement lasted about five minutes before boredom won. Now, a few nights a week, Malcom drives hundreds of kilometres delivering pathology samples to a lab — and somewhere between clinics, lockboxes, and empty highways, this podcast happens. Stories from the road, whatever's on high rotation, a bit of roadside philosophy, and the moments that made him laugh out loud, alone, in the car, like a crazy person.
