A chronically ill man has been trapped in a room for the majority of his adult life, exploring the limits of agony, sanity, and time. Armed with failing wits, growing pain, Turner Classic Movies, and a variety of recording devices, he navigates his mind and the world as it exists to him. Welcome to Sick Man Talking.

    In this episode, the Sick Man talks about the invisible choreography of modern life.

    Navigating bureaucracies has reached the level of an Olympic sport. Government agencies, banks, corporate offices, and customer service all insist you follow rules that change while you’re watching. Let’s explore the absurd perfection of these systems and what it means to try to stay human in a world that already assumes you’re not.

    This is Catch-22.

    In this episode, the Sick Man steps onto the ice to talk about one of hockey’s strongest traditions: fighting.

    How it began. How it survived. Who does it. And why the sport that prides itself on speed and skill still makes room for a man whose job description includes punching people in the face.

    Along the way, he examines the culture that produced it, and the enduring legend of the “Polite Canadian.”

    Featuring real-life hockey enforcer Steve Hughes, who explains the mentality, duties, and code of the man who fights… while somehow managing not to injure the Sick Man.

    This is Enforcer.

    In this Very Special Episode, the Sick Man talks about the summer of 1987, and his very first job working for a printing factory in Toronto’s Financial District.

    Before there was ambition, before there was a crash, before there were podcasts recorded in basements, there was ink. Industrial ink. The perfume of capitalism. And there were cigarettes. Lots and lots of cigarettes.

    A coming of each story about paper, panic, and pretending.

    This is the summer of ‘87.
