  • Angelo - vocal fry

    Content is decent. Intro music is terrible. Angelo is doing a great job, but you gotta lose the vocal fry. It’s unlistenable

  • Good Podcast

    Good podcast, but is way way wayyyy too long to digest the information, and are released too infrequently. Would be better to split them into 10-20 minute segments and release the shorter podcasts weekly. My attention span can’t handle an hour of technical discussion at this moment in time.

Jim Pauley's Exit Interview
Q: What is the future of the Pro Codes Act and how can individuals influence policy for safety codes and standards?
Engagement with Congress is crucial; use available tools to contact representatives, and recognize that while progress is slow, persistent advocacy by professionals can help shape legislation that protects safety while balancing copyright and accessibility considerations.
Jim Pauley's Exit Interview
Q: With how quickly codes and standards are evolving, where do you see the future heading over the next several years?
The future will require a more targeted, faster-moving standards approach, with emphasis on involving a broader set of volunteers, and creating focused standards on specific technology areas to accelerate progress while maintaining an open, consensus-based process.
CRR: The Good ... and Not So Good
Q: How should departments handle buy-in from firefighters?
He advocates for change management, education, and speaking in the currency of what motivates firefighters—showing how CRR reduces dangerous, low-value calls and improves operations.
CRR: The Good ... and Not So Good
Q: What are the essential elements for a successful CRR program?
Landon emphasizes leadership literacy, a clear community risk assessment, data tracking of outcomes, and aligning programs to actual risks rather than anecdotes or politics.
CRR: The Good ... and Not So Good
Q: Tell me about how you got started with CRR and how you've been involved.
Landon explains starting CRR as a shift from reactive to proactive safety, inspired by data analysis and neighborhood risk, with early experiences in both the field and leadership roles shaping their approach.
