Season 08 Episode 01: Flora, Fauna, and the ‘Port-a-Loo’: Beware the arachnids
In this season opener of WhyWork Podcast, we forgo the spreadsheets and the performance statistics – we go straight to storytelling. A toilet. A spider. And a young worker’s unforgettable encounter with risk realities interrupting his routines – when faced with an arachnoid phenom, it was up close and highly personal. “Not once, but TWICE!” exclaims Trajce.
“Sometimes, work gets weird,” Alan laments, as he shares disarmingly intimate conversational snippets from his men’s group. Sara chimes, “And that is where the truth lives!”
This episode is about the things we don’t write down in procedures: the folklore, the warnings passed in whispers, and the rituals we perform before doing the ordinary. It's about vigilance. About humour. About how experience embeds itself amidst bodily functions.
We talk about the risks we manage and the ones we normalise. What does it mean when danger becomes part of the dunny?
