Working with Demons and Witches, Conversations with Ocean, is the podcast where the workplace gets weird and sometimes hilarious!

Hosted by Ocean, each episode dives into wild stories spotlighting the moments when bosses, coworkers, and entire organizations act less like professionals… and more like demons, witches, and assorted creatures of chaos.

But here’s the twist: every story comes with insights on how to survive, thrive, and maybe even laugh your way through it...because yes, you can make it out OK. Listeners, or ”The Collective”, can submit workplace stories through SpeakPipe (link coming soon). Share your tale, and you might just hear it conjured up on the show!Copyright 2025 All rights reserved.

  • Season 2 Ep. 8 When the Sky Breaks
    Mar 6 2026

    Ocean examines the January 2025 mid-air collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, detailing how layered systemic failures (airspace design, ignored warnings, reliance on "see and avoid," technology gaps, and understaffing) aligned to cause the crash.
