Send the show a text here!Jeff from the Man Amongst Men podcast joins me to talk about what roles men play in modern society. We talk about traditional gender roles, what fellowship means for us, how men size each other up, if unequal representation of men and women in certain industries is due to glass ceilings or men and women just being into different things, and which qualities he's taught his own children to strive for.

Send the show a text here!Brian is a paramedic who has worked 911 EMS, flight, and critical care transport, including patients who are at end of life and donating organs, and even the organs themselves. After hearing the experience that Anthony and Jessica DeCilio went through with their daughter's end of life care he graciously offered to shed light on how the process of organ donation and procurement usually works. We talk about how someone becomes an organ donor, how the DMV process is far from providing the "informed" part of informed consent, how brain death is determined clinically, how organ procurement occurs across the United States and most of the western world, the importance of talking with your loved ones about your wishes for end of life care early on, and where to find the information to help you make the best decisions for you when the inevitable occurs.

Send the show a text here!To celebrate my 100th episode I go back to where it all started with my first podcast cohost and good friend, Michael Marasco. Mike's known me since I was a brand new baby EMT and it was great catching up with him. We talk about how responding to accidents has impacted his mindset as a new father, how the world seems to be spiraling into an abyss of absurdity, and what that spicy pepper emoji means next to a link on someone's social media bio. This was a fun and lighthearted conversation, and I look forward to the next 100 episodes too! Thanks so much to everyone who listens, watches, and most of all to my guests who share their stories and their time with us. Much love, you nerdy misfits you.

In this episode we discuss how our jobs, our families, and our questioning of the religion we were raised in have impacted the way we view the world and how we treat the people in it now, which books have impacted our lives the most, and what self-ownership truly means to us.

Send the show a text here!After a choking incident caused cardiac arrest Jessica and Anthony's daughter, Caitlyn, was in the ICU on life support. Making a tragic situation all the more difficult were representatives from an organ donation company pressuring these heart broken parents to allow the hospital to induce cardiac death so that their daughter's organs could be harvested, because Caitlyn had elected to be an organ donor when obtaining her driver's license as a teenager. Jessica and Anthony share their troubling story in an effort to bring transparency to a situation that nobody who checks that box as a teenager could ever imagine happening, and how they're working with state legislators to make sure that when future donors give consent that they're actually informed about what they're consenting to, and what the process actually entails for those we love after we pass.

I'm back after an 8 month hiatus where I couldn't speak publicly for fear of not being able to pursue a particular career. That career door has closed anyway and it's for the best because now I get to do what I love to do again: communicating ideas, gaining information, and sharing stories.

This week continues our journey into exploring groups that have been hijacked by unhealthy ideologies. My friend Jaci went looking for healthy vegetable recipes in vegan groups and quickly noticed many of the foods that were recommending were full of processed chemicals, sugars, and meat substitutes. When she offered healthier substitutes she received push back from the group and was told "Veganism isn't about health."

Should cartoon mermaids have realistic body dimensions? What is realistic? While having a thin waist may be a fantasy for some, others fantasize about gaining healthy weight. Sarah tells us about her struggles with body image and her experiences with body positivity groups and how they've been ideologically captured by the notion that you can be healthy at any size, even morbidly obese. We discuss the nuances of what healthy is, what it certainly isn't, and why standardizing what "realistic" proportions looks like leaves a lot of people out of the picture.

With the rise of podcasting and independent platforms for journalism you'd think society would be having enlightened discussions about, well, everything.

We focused more on the broader conversation and didn't get into the weeds of what Rowling said that started this newest example of weaponized sensitivity.

Avi and I started our EMS careers at the same time a decade ago. We've seen and experienced lots of change in our agencies and the profession as a whole during that time. Our conversation identifies many of the problems facing EMS providers and firefighters today, addresses why so many are leaving the profession altogether and how those still serving can help themselves so they can better help others who need them. I apologize for the occasional fluctuation in volume of this episode, I did my best to equalize everything but there's only so much my limited knowledge and open source software can do.

Samuel Adams once said "It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." My good friend Chris comes on to talk with me about current events and the way politicians, mainstream media and other corporate interests manipulate information in efforts to control the narrative and use shady tactics to keep the American people scared and angry at each other instead of turning our ire towards those who truly deserve it: corrupt government officials and their crony corporate sponsors.

Emergency Medical Services, like all facets of healthcare during this pandemic, has been hit hard. Low staffing and high call volumes have plagued EMS since before anyone knew what COVID was, I myself left the first responder world behind at the end of 2019 due to burn out and mental health concerns, but now it's worse than ever. This conversation with Michael Marasco, a national representative for an international organization that negotiates for EMTs and paramedics to have better working conditions, pay and the support they need to provide us with emergency care, sheds light on how your local EMS providers may be struggling and what you can do to get involved with helping them help you.
