Matthew Heneghan: Unfiltered

***Trigger warning*** (some sounds throughout the recording may be troubling to some listeners - discretion is advised) This is a story motivated by a recurring dream/set of symptoms that I have been having as of late. They are very specific and I do not know what the causation of them are... but I am working on it. This episode tells that story.

On this episode I take a page from Mike Rowe's prestigious playbook and narrate a story that I have written and produced about a real person (other than me) in a way that make you listen till the end. It's also a tribute to the memory of this who perished on December 7th, 1941.

Last week, I had the privilege and honour to go back to my home town for a book signing. This episode is a reflective episode of that experience as well as the unveiling on my brand new MM intro theme song! Enjoy!!

Tomorrow comes with memory of what can only be described as the worst of my time. I am feeling low, sullen and sad. I figured I'd bleed thoughts into the mic for a while.

A raw and honest story from the road a call I'll never forget. What one lifeless driver taught me about trauma, silence, and the weight of the job.

In lieu of today being the day of the book signing, here is: bitter sweet...

On this episode I struggle through a man cold to bring you a narrative of what I am grateful for on this looming Thanksgiving day!

This episode is a blog read of my most recent post over at: www.amedicsmind.com I tell a story of inadequacy and how the mind can make you believe something that may not actually be true.

I came across an online post about the late Chester Bennington. The comment section of said post was nothing short of abhorrent and dissatisfactory. I share my thoughts on the topic of suicide on this episode of A Medic's Mind.

Today I have a special one for you; something really splendid happened to me recently and it really is too good not to share! This story involves a rock, Superman, two fantastic women and Newfoundland!

As I was packing to move to my new apartment, I came across something pretty cool. Let me share it with you on this episode of: A Medic's Mind.

Hey, folks! So, although this titular episode is a little out of season... I wanted to bring a little Christmas spirit into the mix. So, I have a story for you. I recorded this in July, so please, ignore the July references at the intro to this post and enjoy ! 

On this episode I give my opinions on the promulgated myth that just because you are paid good money, the pitfalls of a task should not affect you.

Story time, on this episode of: A Medic's Mind. This one is a lighter one... enjoy.

On this episode I reminisce back to my first ever fight! Did we win? Have a listen and see for yourself...

This episode is on the lighter side and contains a blog read from my mischievous youth. Enjoy!

On this episode I speak about what it is that keeps me sober and how it is that I am able to maintain that sobriety.

This episode is a blog read from a post I call: Waitress Therapy.

This episode is blog read from www.amedicsmind.com . A story from when I was in the army... 

On this episode I read for you the story that is featured in the anthology: Brainstorm Revolution available where ever books are sold!

On this episode I not only explain my new intro music and the tragic circumstances surrounding it, but I tell you of another broken thing... me.

I figured it would be a good time to share some less serious anecdotal experiences with you all, so, here they are!

In honour of Paramedic Services Week, I have written a piece that I would like to share with you.

This is not your typical fairy tale. This is however a true story and rightly or wrongly, I am the focal point.

On this episode I discuss what things look like from behind my mask...
