Episode 152: The Night Shift Nurse

Reni has worked the 8pm to 8am shift on the same cardiac ward for nineteen years. We talked about the strange intimacy of the hours nobody else is awake for, the patients she still thinks about, and why she would never switch to days. It is the quietest episode I have ever made and somehow the one people message me about most.

Nothing important ever happens at 3pm. The whole truth of a person comes out at 3am, and I am the only one there to hear it.
