Listen "Myself: Between Departures"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textStandby duty, airport chaos, a medical emergency mid-flight, cancelled trips to Dubai, JFK and Japan, and still somehow... total silence. In this episode of the story pilgrim, Darren takes you on a journey through three days of standby with a major airline — from being called up two minutes into shift for a flight to Istanbul (complete with an in-air seizure) to sitting in the office surrounded by cancelled flights and unrealised missions.What starts as a routine work block turns into a reflection on duty, productivity, and the strange pressure of self-imposed deadlines — all told from kitchens, gardens, and walks with Todd. It’s dry, deep, funny, and just a little existential. Waiting has never sounded this thoughtful.
