  • Well Produced!

    Many fire service podcasts are so poorly produced that the audio quality distracts from otherwise valuable information, but not this one. Great discussions and a variety of guests, topics, and important topics for responders!

  • Terrible audio

    I can’t listen to this because the audio so so inconsistent. One minute I can’t hear it so I turn up the volume and the next minute it’s so loud it almost blows my speakers. It’s s shame because there is good content here and I would love to listen to it.
