| 0:11.1 | Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast. |
| 0:19.0 | Yesterday I was chatting to a guy who really enjoys his job. he's this at the end of this week he marks 20 years of working out at telemarine in the air traffic control department oh cool amazing job right sounds really interesting and I was fascinated by it how does it all work even the fact that he told me they obviously operate shifts and |
