Satchel Secrets: Off the Clock, Off the Record
This is off the clock and off the record!
Nothing official. Nothing tied back to names, routes, offices, or locations.
This is real letter carrier experiences — the kind of things we see, hear, or deal with. These could be serious, strange, difficult, or just the kind of story you’ve carried with you for a long time. The craziest, absurd, and wildest stories I know every carrier has from being a letter carrier. This can even include stories related to encounters with management!
Anonymity is extremely important. Identifying details will be changed or removed.
If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could share this…,” this is THAT space.

Welcome to the very first broadcast of Satchel Secrets—where the stories usually shared between carriers at the case, in the parking lot, or after a long day on the route finally make it to the airwaves.
Meet Nixie, your mysterious host with a satchel full of stories and maybe a few secrets of her own. Each episode brings you tales from the people who know the streets better than almost anyone—the letter carriers who walk them every day.
In this pilot episode, Nixie gets the signal up and running, introduces you to the world of Satchel Secrets, and opens the satchel for the very first time. Inside is a carrier's story that begins like an ordinary day on the route... until it isn't.
Names may change. Details may be disguised. But the stories behind the satchel are very real.
Satchel Secrets — Off the clock. Off the record.
