Podcasts about Roadworks

Right, picture this. It's 2:30am. I've been bounced off half of Sydney's motorways on the way back from Albury-Wodonga, the NSW/VIC border, and I'm talking myself through a full-blown panic attack because, well, everyone else is asleep. ZzzzToday started as a quick meet and greet and hit top gear — strapping freight, riding in an Kenworth and remembering why I love the transport industry so much. I'm trying to build something that brings trucking and mental health together… and for most of the day, I felt real purpose and inspired.Then, I hit Sydney. First, the M7 shuts. No biggie, I keep on truckin'.Then, NorthConnex shuts. Just my luck. Roadworks everywhere. Detours through the back roads of the big smoke. Sleep? Not likely tonight.  Now I'm picturing myself fronting up to an 8:30am meeting at the University, then a filmed interview I've been looking forward to all week, and an advisory group meeting (yep, big day) running on fumes — and the inner critic is LOUD. The anxiety is like THUNDER. Here comes the wave of dread. I just need to get back to Newcastle. Perfection or nothing.Don't stumble.You can't afford it. The stakes are too high  So I go back to basics: name what I can see, breathe longer out than in, loosen the grip, label the task instead of the monster. The goal isn't to get rid of fear at 3am — it's to keep pointing northwards while it's yelling at you.By the time I get home, the panic's still there… but it's smaller. And it's not driving anymore. Thank God, neither am I. Now to sleep, I've got a big day coming up! -- Follow The Dysregulated Podcast: Instagram – @elliot.t.waters Facebook – The Dysregulated Podcast YouTube – The Dysregulated Podcast (Official Channel) Created by Elliot Waters — Inspired by lived experience.

We are back with the 13th episode of We All Float Down Here — A Stephen King podcast. Our last of 2025 (on YouTube) and first of 2026 (here on other podcast services and Substack) is our second “Richard Bachman” episode. King famously wrote a bunch of books as Richard Bachman, later publishing them under his own name as “The Bachman Books”. This set of four novels includes the now banned and out of print “Rage”, as well as ‘The Long Walk”, “Roadworks”, and “The Running Man”.There was a lot to discuss, including the controversy around Rage — and a brand new adaptation of The Running Man (the second film to be made from this novel), as well as the recent film version of The Long Walk. The podcast goes out on YouTube first and foremost — so we'd love you to like and subscribe over there.Sounds Good! is a reader-supported publication.

Roadworks across Lower Hutt are testing commuters' patience with motorists venting their frustration about gridlock and long delays. Pretoria Gordon reports.

Today on Highways Voices we hear how the island of Malta is embracing British technology to transform its transport, as we talk to Kurt Farrugia, the CEO of Transport Malta to find out what happens when uncoordinated road works, political pressure, and emergency recovery collide to lead to the use of a single platform to prevent gridlock.This interview was prompted by TRL's exporter of the year win at last autumn's ITS UK Awards, and why Malta chose to digitise roadworks coordination at a national scale, and how their challenges, resistance, and lessons learned are directly relevant to UK networks dealing with congestion, resilience, and the push toward smarter traffic management systems.Subscribe to Highways Voices free on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts or Pocket Casts and never miss an episode!In today's podcast you'll hear a real-world example of how digital road works coordination can reduce congestion, political tension, and operational risk across an entire transport network, with practical insights into overcoming organisational resistance, stakeholder buy-in, and implementation challenges when moving from email-based processes to shared digital platforms. This is a really interesting insight into how the UK can win the export business, so it's relevant if you run a network in the UK, or if you have a product you could sell overseas.Highways Voices is brought to you with our partners the Transport Technology Forum, LCRIG, ADEPT and ITS UK.
