  • Love!

    My husband is a firefighter/EMT & we love listening together. Sometimes it’s hard for him to talk about calls with me but this has really opened that door for us. He is hoping to get his medic soon and this podcast has peaked his interest even more.

    I’ve been listening to Chris and Spencer since the beginning. Found them at the beginning of EMT school, and still listening as I’m finishing up Medic school.

    Love everything that these guys stand for. Authentic, educated, and fun. I’ve learned so much about EMS just from this podcast alone. So, I thank you!

  • One of the Best

    I started listening in EMT school. The way they present calls and break down the clinical reason behind everything is one of the big reasons I passed my psychomotor testing for medical and trauma evals. Not only informative but it's a fun listen too.
