In September 2020, sound designer and audio producer David Devereux decided to interview their parents about their time working in the National Health Service in the UK. Their dad is a doctor and their mum was a nurse, prior to David coming along.
After recording the interviews, they took the tape and turned it into an 8-part, creative non-fiction podcast series, featuring stories from 30 years of working in medicine. There are conversations about education, the experience of running a ward, relationships with colleagues and patients, the dark sense of humour that comes with the job, as well as some of the wild stories that David grew up with.
