The Unemployable Man
The Unemployable Man is a weekly spoken-word series by veteran broadcaster Ray Whitaker featuring original essays about work, memory, identity, creativity, relationships, and the surprising freedom that comes with growing older (a little therapy certainly doesn't hurt).
Blending thoughtful storytelling, humor, cultural observation, and honest self-reflection, each episode explores the moments that shape our lives — and the ones that quietly change them. It's for anyone who has ever wondered where the years went, what still lies ahead, and how to live the rest of life with greater authenticity, curiosity, and purpose...and a perpetually raised eyebrow.
