E28. FOUR more days of school.

E28. FOUR more days of school.

Author: Alexandra Concentric June 13, 2023 Duration: 6:57

There are four more days of school. 

Driving distractions include;  What I got wrong about the kids, middle school humor, and some salsa.

Because we still love The Heat.  

 


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.
