    Episode 4, Part I: Bryan and Ryan in the Ambulance Bay

    Most heart attacks happen between 6:00am and noon, when there is an increased risk of a grave cardiovascular event. Bryan and Ryan were there for it. The twins did everything together. They played ice hockey in high school together, and even had the same 3.9 grade point average. So when they decided they wanted to become flight nurses, they first became EMTs (Emergency Medical Techs) while taking prerequisite courses at the community college for nursing school. On Monday, December 23, 2002 at exactly 6:02 am, two calls came into the station; both for people presumably having heart attacks. Bryan, Ryan, and their respective partners took the calls. It was settled: Bryan and Keith, his partner, would go on one call; Ryan and Tamesha, his partner, would go on the other. Loaded up and ready to go, each ambulance with their respective partnerships departed the squad bay at the exact same time. Only one of them would arrive at the hospital.

It gives breakroom conversation; you know, the nitty gritty fun that doesn’t happen out on the unit floor. In my hospital, I work the night shift, and I absolutely love the vibes that come with it. Chill, low-fi, and—honestly, a little spooky—where all the magic happens and that’s precisely the ambiance I wanted to create for my podcast fan club community.

    Episode 3 Part I: Viktoria in the Back Alley

    In a crowded loft apartment over an accounting office lived three generations of Viktoria’s family: Dedushka (her grandfather), Babushka (her grandmother), her two older brothers, her mother, and her younger brother. Dedushka, an accountant, owns the building; it is his office downstairs. Next door, Viktoria’s uncle, Dada Dima, owned the European store and lived above it with his family: his wife and his daughter Sofia. On the same block was the boxing gym also owned by their family. Each of these establishments opened up to the back alley.

    Episode 2: Claudia in C23

    Monday morning is when Millie comes to C23; she always does. She brings colored pencils—freshly sharpened—coloring books, and masking tape. Claudia loves the fractal sheets. Swirling geometric patterns of leaves and nautilus shells. “Everything spirals eventually in nature; it is no less beautiful,” she says.

    Episode 1: Old Man Jim in the Tobacco Field

    It’s a balmy Saturday afternoon, and a heavyset seventy-four year-old man walks into the general store. No stranger to this place, its his lifeline for morning essentials: diet cola, a “dollar scratcher” (lottery ticket), and a bacon, egg, and cheese biscuit with a “touch” of mayo. Two hours later, he was dead.
