E12. 12 more days (of school)

E12. 12 more days (of school)

Author: Alexandra Concentric May 28, 2022 Duration: 14:25

There are 12 more days of school... Driving distractions include weed, skating in the dark... And everything else everyone might plan to do this summer. 

Oh, and there's roadkill.  


There's a particular kind of theater that unfolds on a school bus, a moving stage where small human dramas play out against a backdrop of changing neighborhoods and the relentless rhythm of the morning route. Bad Bus Driver pulls up a seat right in the middle of it all. Host Alexandra Concentric, who drives that route herself, steers this podcast with a veteran's eye and a storyteller's heart. You won't find polished experts here, but rather the raw, funny, and sometimes poignant material of daily life, gathered from the driver's seat and beyond. Each episode feels like a conversation with a sharp-witted friend, blending personal anecdotes, observations about community, and the occasional perfect song that seems to score the journey. Alexandra, with a little help from some hard-working friends, delivers these slices of life with a mix of wit and the occasional hard-earned wisdom, proving that profound moments can happen just about anywhere-especially on the road. This isn't just a collection of bus tales; it's a thoughtful, often musical, look at the society and culture that passes by her window every day, making this podcast a unique listen for anyone curious about the threads that connect us all.
