“Occupational Hazard” is an audio journey located at the heart of Karlsruhe, Germany, unfolding the story of two figures amidst a shadowy night. Nick, enduring a five-hour wait in the bitter cold, is met not by Rada as expected, but by a stranger. Frustration sets in – what’s the next move? With resolve, Nick lowers his hood and strides forward, while one of his neighbours, the psychology Mattis, observes in silence. Though their lips remain sealed and they never see each other in-person, an imperceptible tie binds their lives together.

plodge

The Scottish and English word plodging has been wading through the lexical muck and mire since the late 1700s, and it refers to icky, slow, molasses-type walking. Plodge is probably a variation of plod. This word isn’t totally out of use, as a 1995 use from British magazine The Countryman illustrates: “Northbound Pennine Wayfarers, plodging through the interminable peat-bogs of the North Pennines.” Even if you have a spring in your step, it’s tough to skip merrily through the peat-bogs.
