The Not My Job Pod
The Not My Job Pod is a podcast hosted by Emily Gant about work, people, and the weird stuff in between. Emily works in Tech and likes to occasionally leave her bubble.
She’s chatting to people with non-tech jobs, strong opinions, and good stories. From fast food workers to international school teachers, from burnout to bureaucracy... it’s funny, honest, and probably more relatable than it should be.
Come for the interviews, stay for the existential dread (and occasional laughs). Enjoy a new episode every Monday.
