E4. COVID (and Kids)

"It never occurred to me..."

 

When bad bus driver, Alexandra Concentric, is assigned to a new alternative COVID job, she expects to manage that all...well...just as badly as anything else. 

 

But there is more time to think in these pandemic days, face ourselves, our faults and those thoughts we might have ignored--and when we need to--find ways to say good-bye. 

 

And that is what this episode is about. How we move on when we are hardly moving at all. 

 

Distractions include soap, sanitizer, legos, kids with masks,  and lost loves. 


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.
