Matthew Heneghan: Unfiltered

This episode explains a new happening in my life. A fresh start in a new place steeped in familiarity. I'm going home; but not alone...

2020... the year of years, so to speak, of recent times. It's been a year fraught with challenges and unexpected happenings the world over. Our ability to travel has been impacted by these changes and challenges alike. So, the other day I was reminiscing on a time not so long ago where I found myself in the heart of New York city with my best friend in the world. This episode is a story within a s...

Inspired to write after watching a particular scene unfold on television, I was forced into rumination about my feelings on pictures and their placements within homes... have a listen, you'll see what I mean.

On this episode, I recount a tale of a bad date, and the promise of better times ahead. This is, Burning Love. Don't forget, my book: A Medic's Mind, is available wherever books are sold!

In this return episode I recount a less than pleasing encounter with PTSD that I while away on vacation. A MEDIC'S MIND IS BACK!!!!

July 6th is a tough day for me, historically speaking. I am doing my best to stay out of the deep end of the depression pool, so I wrote a story that engenders some happier ruminations. Enjoy!

A day late but none the less relevant; here is my Father's Day post.  Father's Day has always held obfuscating meaning for me. It had typically been a day not celebrated in my family, and rightfully so. But that does not change the fact that when I was kid, this day and its festivities were always something that provoked a stir of introspection for me. I write about that in this story of my father...

Finally, a new episode! Thank you for your patience and support.  On this episode I conclude my story with a phone call to my buddy, Sean, who is featured in this anecdotal tale of mine. We discuss the event in question, celebrity favorites and more. Enjoy! #christopherwalken #celebrityimpressions

This episode is a little lighter and may even elicit a chuckle or two, hopefully...  This story takes place during my military days. Specifically, basic training. I wrote this to remember something more fond during this time of uncertainty and an unrest. I hope you like it.

On this episode I speak about the cover of my book and how it came to be. I explain the nuance behind the capture. Is it a simple selfie? Surely not. Have a listen, see what you think. #yyz #ptsd #paramedic

I was recently featured on a podcast (the UpTalk Podcast) and had a conversation with its host: Sean Conohan. A distinguished paramedic and communications officer with many years of experience in the field. Here is a link to his show! https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/uptalk-podcast/id1076465971

I have a blog read for you folks. Thank you for your patience while I struggle to get these episodes out there. I appreciate your support, kindness and compassion. Thank you. This episode explains a little bit about what I have been doing since the start of this COVID-19 pandemic and how I have been coping with the lingering grief of my sister's unexpected passing. Lisa, I love you.

Hello, folks! Sorry for the delay in getting these things out consistently, but I'm trying. On this episode I figured I would chat with you all about some of what's been on my mind during these new and uncertain times. The new "normal" so-to-speak. #covid19 #isolation

Sorry it's been a while, folks. On this episode I read a story that I wrote and a story that was written for me by a very dear friend. My hope is that this episode can add some levity to the heft of our new every day lives... Things are uncertain out there at the moment and there is only so much of it that we can control. Hopefully this can act as a brief respite for the heaviness of it all. #covi...

I was recently asked to be a guest on the Pragmatic Paramedics podcast - we discuss the book, PTSD, EMDR and yes... a dildo! Enjoy!

In lieu of current global affairs, I felt compelled to write a story that I feel relates. This is called: The Virus.

On this episode I go over what has been happening for me over the past while. Enjoy!

This episode is a recording of a recent radio interview that I was a part of alongside my publisher and friend, Heather Down. 

Grief and depression have been holding me captive over the past couple of weeks. On this episode I share some honesty as to what that has been like and where I am going from here.

This episode is deeply personal to me. Our family has suffered another unimaginable loss. Writing has been my outlet for some time now... so I wrote this in hopes that it will help me heal. Rest in peace, Lisa.
