At 36, Cameron Edwards is a Texas pitmaster, entrepreneur, and lifelong student of barbecue, having grown up cooking alongside his grandfather from an early age. His passion for service has shaped much of his life, with 10 years as a first responder—including 9 years in EMS—and 8 years serving in youth ministry, all centered around caring for people and building community. Since 2020, Cameron has been competing in the local Texas BBQ scene, sharpening his craft in one of the most respected barbecue cultures in the world. In 2023, he founded BarHart Spice Co., launching the flagship seasoning Armadillo BOLD, which quickly became a customer favorite and found its way into kitchens and backyards across the country. This year Cameron became the brand ambassador for the Qitup! App and also founded the first Smoke the Station Rib Challenge to benefit local rural Fire Departments. Faith. Family Service. Community. That's BBQ!!!

Send us Fan MailOne small action can change a whole community, and sometimes even rewrite what the next generation learns in school. We sit down with Brad and Kira Newberry to unpack the idea behind their book, The Saved Effect, and why a single rescue rarely ends when the ambulance doors close. Using the butterfly effect as a guide, we explore how “micro moments” of courage and care can ripple outward into families, careers, and public policy.We dig into a story that's hard to forget: an eight-year-old girl choking at a restaurant, a nurse stepping in with the Heimlich maneuver, and the long tail of that save. Years later, that same kid is training hundreds of people in CPR and pushing for a bill that would make CPR certification a high school graduation requirement. We connect that to a bigger first responder and public health question: why do we teach fire safety so well, but still treat CPR as optional life knowledge in so many places?We also get real about first responder mental health and the culture shift around PTSD support, peer help, chaplains, and modern critical incident resources. Then we go straight into the generational friction point, with a father-daughter perspective on what Gen X and Gen Z each need to hear, and how EMS education can adapt to the way people actually learn today without lowering standards.If you care about EMS, firefighter and police mental health, CPR training, or better leadership across generations, you'll get a lot from this conversation.

911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Behind Every Emergency Call Is Someone Carrying the Weight of Another Person's Worst Day. When most people think of first responders, they picture police officers racing toward danger, firefighters battling flames, or paramedics fighting to save lives. The episode is available to listen to Free. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. #LawEnforcementTalk #Free #Podcast #Radio But there is another group of heroes who experience unimaginable tragedy every day without ever leaving their chairs. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too. Their battlefield isn't on the streets. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin. It's Trauma on The Phone. Every scream... Every desperate plea... Every child crying... Every gunshot... Every final breath... It all comes through a headset. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. On the latest episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, host John Jay Wiley welcomes Alex LeFever, a veteran 911 dispatcher who shares what many dispatchers have silently carried for years. The episode is available across major platforms including their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, with highlights shared across their Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn profiles. His story reminds listeners that emotional scars don't require physical danger. Sometimes the deepest wounds are heard, not seen. The Calls That Never Leave Alex worked as a 911 dispatcher in both Arkansas and Pennsylvania. Like many emergency telecommunicators, thousands of calls blended together over time. But a few never disappeared. One involved a three-week-old baby. Another involved a woman trapped in a violent domestic abuse situation, who shot her attacker. Alex listened helplessly as the assault unfolded over the phone. Those voices never truly left him. "There are calls you never forget," Alex explains. "They stay with you long after your shift ends." Unlike police officers or firefighters who eventually arrive at a scene and begin resolving the crisis, dispatchers often experience something mental health experts call truncated trauma. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. They hear the terror. They imagine the scene. Then the phone disconnects. Most never learn how the story ended. Their minds are left to fill in the blanks. 911 Dispatchers Are Often the First First Responders Whether dispatchers are officially recognized as first responders depends largely on where they work. Many states, including California, Washington, and Delaware, have passed laws officially recognizing emergency dispatchers as first responders. Federal classifications have historically categorized them as administrative employees rather than protective service professionals. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. The Podcast is available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeartradio and most major podcast platforms. That distinction has sparked ongoing bipartisan efforts in Congress to update federal classifications through legislation such as the 9-1-1 SAVES Act and the Enhancing First Response Act. Regardless of job titles, dispatchers perform life-saving work every day. They calm panicked callers. Guide CPR. Provide emergency childbirth instructions. Coordinate police, fire, and EMS responses. Gather critical intelligence. Save lives. Long before emergency vehicles arrive, dispatchers are already working to keep victims alive. "They're often the first voice people hear during the worst moment of their lives." Trauma on The Phone Is Real Mental health professionals increasingly recognize that dispatchers experience extraordinarily high rates of Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast continues bringing listeners real conversations from the front lines of crime, policing, trauma, survival, and healing. Unlike field responders, dispatchers experience trauma through sound alone. The human brain reacts as if it is physically present. Adrenaline surges. Heart rate increases. Stress hormones flood the body. Yet dispatchers must remain calm. Professional. Focused. They cannot panic. They cannot cry. They simply answer the next call. Hour after hour. Day after day. Over time, that emotional weight accumulates. Symptoms may include: • Reliving disturbing calls • Hearing callers' voices long after work • Difficulty concentrating • Hyper-vigilance • Emotional numbness • Burnout • Insomnia • High blood pressure • Chronic stress Many dispatchers suffer silently because few people understand what their job truly involves. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. The complete interview is available as a Free Podcast on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and major podcast platforms. Healing Doesn't Always Come Easy For Alex, recovery became intentional. He found one powerful outlet inside the gym. Weight training became more than exercise. It became therapy. "Training should enhance your life, not consume it," Alex says. His fitness journey actually began at just ten years old. By age seventeen, he had already set four International Powerlifting Association world records in the 198-pound class, including a remarkable 490-pound deadlift that stood for years. Today his philosophy is much different. Rather than chasing perfection, Alex helps people create sustainable health around real life. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Listeners can hear the complete interview on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and other major Podcast, Radio, News, and Media platforms. "Life still needs to happen," he says. "Cake at birthday parties. Family dinners. Saturday morning French toast." Instead of unrealistic fitness expectations, Alex teaches balance. He specializes in helping first responders, shift workers, and everyday people overcome obstacles traditional fitness programs often ignore. Irregular schedules. Old injuries. Chronic stress. Sleep disruption. Mental fatigue. His coaching adapts to reality instead of demanding perfection. Supporting the People Behind the Headset Mental health experts continue emphasizing that dispatchers need the same support systems increasingly available to police officers, firefighters, and paramedics. The podcast is available on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, LinkedIn, and other major podcast platforms. Peer support. Critical incident debriefings. Professional counseling. Trauma education. Preventative mental health training. Organizations dedicated to dispatcher wellness continue advocating for stronger mental health resources while many states are expanding PTSD workers' compensation protections for emergency telecommunicators. 911 Dispatchers Suffer Too: Trauma on the Phone. Recognizing dispatcher trauma isn't simply about changing job titles. It's about acknowledging invisible injuries before they become life-changing ones.

From bar-hopping at CMA Fest with Jason Aldean's band to scheduled high school fights at 3 pm sharp, this episode of Try That in a Small Town is all about chaos, consequences, and the crazy ways we somehow survive it all. The guys kick things off with surgery scars, locked-up backs, and near misses in the garage, then pivot into behind-the-scenes CMA Fest stories, in-ear monitor nightmares, and why late-night stadium sets grind down even veteran players. They talk Morgan Wallen flipping pianos and throwing phones, Taylor Swift's historic new country single tied to Toy Story 5, and how modern country production has become so “perfect” it's almost personality-free. Things get heavier when they unpack the Carmelo Anthony/Austin Metcalf stabbing at a track meet, race narratives in the media, and what real self-defense is—and isn't—when someone pulls a knife. They contrast that with a powerful small-town hero story: a Gwinnett County officer who saves a 7-year-old launched through a windshield. In classic TTIAST fashion, the crew rounds it out with songwriting pet peeves, delusional DMs from strangers wanting co-writes and video calls, bullying stories that still haunt them, and how golf, TV binges, and pizza reviews are getting them through recovery. 01:30 Surgeries, brutal bruises, allergic reactions to bandages and upcoming product bans in Tennessee 04:40 Locked-up back on the toilet, crawling across the house and day-three recovery status 06:30 Surviving CMA Fest: bar crawl sets, in-ear monitor disasters and playing blind on stage 09:45 Bar energy vs stadium distance and podcast fans popping up at shows 11:15 Late-night stadium headlining slot, fried fans, and what TV does to show times 14:00 Original Glory and Patriot Mobile sponsor segments 15:10 Learning piano one-handed after surgery, Jingle Bells, and mining TV shows for song ideas 17:50 TV recs: Life After Lockup, The Invisible Pilot, and Cape Fear reboot 20:20 NBA and Stanley Cup talk: Knicks' huge comeback, Wembanyama, and why some tuned out the NBA 22:45 Trump at the Garden, celebrity courtside culture, and politics vs respect for the office 24:40 Taylor Swift's Toy Story 5 country single and the business behind her return to the format 29:00 Why modern country records all sound the same and the few acts still using their own bands 31:40 Morgan Wallen: “I Ain't Coming Back” lyric love, phone toss, piano flip and Billy Joel's defense 36:30 Wild private plane trip with Morgan Wallen, crass “rich buddies” and what stuck with Kalo 38:20 Post-surgery meds, apologizing to Neil, and the nurse/dong/stripper one-liner 41:10 Group shave before a heart cath and hospital humor 42:00 CMA Fest nights with Luke Bryan at his bar, tequila overload and four-day hangovers 44:10 Dipshits of the week: insane video chat requests, song pitches, and social media entitlement 47:00 Fans demanding co-writes and “brain picking” vs actually earning a seat at the table 50:40 The worst song “idea” ever: Cats in the Cradle… but backwards 55:00 Young writers sliding into DMs, asking for writes and coffees, and basic industry etiquette 58:40 Nearly gassing yourself in a closed garage while checking mixes: calling dipshit on yourself 1:01:40 Drone-rescue story: Apache down, surviving in the water and next-level military tech 1:05:30 Golf injuries, steroids on the road, and fighting to stay in playing shape 1:07:10 The Carmelo Anthony–Austin Metcalf stabbing: facts, sentencing and race narratives 1:12:10 Media framing, self-defense vs murder, and how race gets injected into every case 1:16:00 Scheduled school fights at the park, bus brawls and why nobody brought knives back then 1:19:40 Getting drilled in the face for knocking a kid's basketball away: lesson learned 1:20:30 One cold jab to the nose and understanding when you've gone too far 1:22:10 The bully who made you fast: getting wrecked in pickup football and later asking for tickets 1:24:20 Small Town Big Story: Officer Ariana James saves a 7-year-old thrown from a truck in Gwinnett County 1:26:10 Closing: Peacemaker Coffee, shoutout to listener Ed, scheduled fights and listener call-to-action ______________________________________________________________________________________________SPONSORS: The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!Redefining Coworking - Exceptional Office Space for Every BusinessBook a tour today at espaces.comFrom the Patriot Mobile studios:Don't get fooled by other cellular providers pretending to share your values or have the same coverage.

Dr. Joe Holley On this episode of the Disaster Podcast, Dr. Joe Holley joins us to share his insights following the 2026 Gathering of Eagles Conference recently held in Florida. This annual conference brings together the EMS leaders and physicians from the largest cities and jurisdictions. Its purpose is to give them a chance to share new science and trends in the field and find consensus on where best practices lie in those trends. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary Midwest Tornado Weather Discussion The podcast episode focused on severe weather conditions in the Midwest, particularly tornadoes. Dan explained the meteorological ingredients needed for tornado formation, including warmth, moisture, wind shear, and atmospheric conditions. He noted that while Illinois had experienced a record number of tornadoes in June, the actual number of tornadoes on the day discussed was lower than expected, though there were significant wind damage reports and hail. The weather discussion concluded with a brief mention of weather concerns for upcoming World Cup events, particularly regarding uncovered stadiums in areas prone to summer storms. Severe Weather and Emergency Planning The group discussed the end of the Midwest severe weather season and the impact of Tropical Storm Arthur, which caused catastrophic flooding in Louisiana and Mississippi. Becky mentioned the emergency preparedness planning for World Cup events and suggested getting a Philadelphia emergency management official on a podcast after the tournament. Dan explained that while Arthur was short-lived, it demonstrated how tropical systems can cause significant impacts regardless of category, and noted there was a slight chance it could reform off the East Coast. Gathering of Eagles Conference Overview Joe explained that the Gathering of Eagles meeting is the annual conference of the Metropolitan EMS Medical Directors Global Alliance, bringing together medical directors from large cities worldwide to discuss challenges and share experiences. The conference was held in Florida in conjunction with the Florida State EMS Conference, consisting of several days of state-of-the-science presentations and discussions on problematic issues. This year’s meeting focused on topics including mass gathering medicine, weather-related concerns, VIP management, immigration issues, infectious diseases, and terrorism-related threats. World Cup Event Preparation Planning The group discussed preparations for large events like the World Cup, focusing on challenges such as managing non-English speaking athletes and fans, potential health risks including infectious diseases, and ensuring public safety. Joe highlighted new scientific advancements in pre-hospital care, including blood transfusions and trauma treatment. Becky emphasized the importance of local planning and coordination in emergency management. The team agreed to conduct a deeper dive into event planning and preparation after the games, potentially involving experts like Kyle for insights into event management. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

Send us Fan MailYou can work a cardiac arrest, get pulses back, hand the patient off, and never learn what happened next. That missing chapter messes with how we measure success, how we carry trauma, and how we stay resilient over a long career in EMS and emergency medicine.We sit down with Brad Newberry, a captain paramedic with more than 40 years in fire and EMS and the founder of a major EMS education and training center, and his daughter Kiera Newberry, an EMT and emergency room technician. Together, they share the origin behind their project “The Saved Effect,” built from real resuscitation stories and the idea that saving a life is never just a moment. It's a ripple effect that can stretch across decades, families, and entire communities.We also dig into the mental side of the job: generational differences in “suck it up” culture, the pressure to stay emotionally neutral while doing deeply human work, and why so many providers never get to see the long arc of the lives they touch. Along the way, we highlight the chain of survival, the power of bystander CPR, and why learning CPR and being willing to act can change outcomes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.If you know a responder, work in healthcare, or want a clear reason to finally take a CPR class, press play.

In this summer-ready episode of "Transmission Interrupted," host Jill Morgan sits down with Dr. Andi Shane, Division Chief for Pediatric Infectious Disease at Emory and Medical Director of the Special Care Unit at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, to tackle the itchy, the icky, and the often misunderstood risks of summer: bugs, bites, and bathrooms. As families gear up for vacations, outdoor adventures, and the return to school, Jill and Dr. Shane break down the real dangers posed by bug bites and creepy-crawlies, offering practical guidance to parents for preventing itching, infections, and accidental exposures. They discuss best practices for using insect repellents on children, why covering up is sometimes easier said than done, and the importance of checking kids (and pets) for ticks—along with what tick-borne illnesses to watch out for as changing climates shift the landscape of risks across the country. The episode doesn't shy away from common but uncomfortable realities like head lice, exploring why these unwelcome visitors are more gross than genuinely dangerous, and shares expert strategies for dealing with them calmly. Dr. Shane also covers hand hygiene, safe management of public restrooms, and the influx of “cooties” when kids return to school, offering memorable and sometimes hilarious tips for keeping families healthy through the literal and figurative messes of summer. Wrapping up, Jill and Dr. Shane emphasize the ongoing importance of vaccination, regular pediatric care, and practical steps every parent can take to minimize risks and avoid unexpected hospital visits. Whether you're heading to camp, beach, or just the local playground, this episode is your guide to surviving and thriving through bugs, bites, and bathrooms. Questions or comments for NETEC?

Joint effort between several Vilas County towns improving EMS services, Wisconsin's two elk herds seeing growth, School District of Tomahawk working to establish a social worker position

Dr. Heather Gatcomb, a clinical radiation oncologist at Emory, who immediately humbles me by explaining that her job involves a lot more than drawing circles on a screen, it involves medical physics boards, cancer biology exams, and oral evaluations with the world's leading subspecialty experts. I'm putting radiation oncology in my "insanely smart doctors" tier, effective immediately. But Heather isn't just here to talk about contouring tumors. When her son was in second grade, his teacher noticed he couldn't move half his body and called 911. By the time EMS arrived, he seemed fine. Thus began a five-year diagnostic odyssey involving genetic testing, a muscle biopsy, a "variant of unknown significance," and ultimately a diagnosis of mitochondrial disease, a mutation that disrupts the body's ability to produce energy at the cellular level and can affect, well, pretty much every organ system you've got. We get into all of it: what metabolic strokes actually are (an energy failure, not a clot), how heat, fasting, and illness can trigger a crisis, why the average time to diagnosis is a decade, and what happened when Heather's son arrived at the ER during COVID in acute heart failure and ended up on ECMO within 10 hours. He was 12. He received a heart transplant. He's now 17, knows his own body better than most doctors in the room, and asks for naps between soccer and his SATs. We also talk about what clinicians and patients can actually do to change the odds, including the United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation's mini-fellowship program at umdf.org. And yes, I finally admit the Krebs cycle is useful. The sad medical geneticist at the lunch table was right all along. Takeaways: Mitochondrial disease is a mutation that disrupts cellular energy production, affecting about 1 in 4,000 people, capable of impacting virtually any organ system, and taking an average of 10 years to diagnose in adults because it presents so differently in every patient. A metabolic stroke is an energy failure, not a vascular event, a part of the brain simply runs out of fuel and shuts down, and it's treated with dextrose-containing IV fluids and IV arginine rather than clot-busting drugs. For patients with mitochondrial disease, managing triggers is everything, fever, fasting, dehydration, heat, certain anesthetics, and even intense cognitive or physical stress can all precipitate a metabolic crisis or stroke. Even having two physician parents and strong institutional connections didn't speed up the diagnosis, it still took five years, and for families without those resources, the average wait is closer to a decade, especially outside the Northeast where most of the 19 certified mitochondrial care centers are located. There's a critical shortage of mitochondrial disease specialists, and the UMDF is working to fix it, their mini-fellowship program at umdf.org is open to residents and fellows PGY3 and above across all specialties, because mitochondria are in every cell and every kind of doctor needs to know what to look for. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Margaux Anbouba, Vogue's Senior Wellness and Beauty Editor is a little bit of a guinea pig when it comes to wellness and beauty trends. “I think I am sometimes too game to try something, but it's a lot of fun,” Margaux admits, “It's a hazard of the job, I suppose.” In this episode, she sat down with Chloe to talk about everything in the space she's been trying lately and to what effect.  They started off by talking about one of the hottest and also most hotly contested wellness options on the market right now: peptides. Margaux recently visited longevity specialist Dr. Amanda Kahn, “the peptide princess” of the Upper East Side, for a lengthy introductory appointment where they covered all of her medical and personal history. “I talked to her about how I'm feeling emotionally, how I'm feeling physically, and then she came back to me with this incredible list of peptides I could try.” Margaux plans to try several different peptides in her stack; among them is an off-label microdose of GLP-1s, in hopes of reducing inflammation throughout her body. She's also trying out GHK, which is meant to help with skin regeneration, and CB-4211 for increased exercise capacity and energy. Relatively new to exercising, Margaux tells Chloe about Emsculpt, a sort of high-intensity electrical muscle stimulation used to tighten and tone. Another similar technology is EMS, which is a low-level stimulation that helps deepen contractions during workouts. “It's sort of Black Mirror-ish in a way,” she says of the device. The first time she tried Emsculpt, after removing the device from her stomach, she was incredibly sweaty. The second time, less so. Generally, practitioners recommend four sessions. The pair also discuss one of Margaux's favorite (and less sweaty) activities—the buccal massage. Buccal refers to the mid-face area right below the cheekbone, and this massage technique takes place both inside and outside the mouth—yes, there will be fingers inside your mouth. Mariam Saprichyan, an esthetician at Karine Kazarian in New York and practitioner of buccal massage, explains that it opens up the lymph nodes, helps with blood flow, and relieves much of the tension we hold in our faces. Not particularly squeamish, Margaux shares another of her latest trials: injecting RADIESSE biostimulating molecules into her scalp. At a swanky room in The Hotel Chelsea, Margaux met with Los Angeles-based Nurse Practitioner Lauren Goodman. “She talked to me about how the scalp is a way to do a lot of lifting without showing anything on the face.” It's informally referred to as a crown lift. And there will always be more to try! To hear their latest Aura ring sleep scores, preferred sunscreens, and Margaux's advice on colonoscopies, check out the episode and subscribe to her weekly newsletter, I Tried That.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In EMS, the moment your mind starts to slip is rarely dramatic. It is quieter than that. It is the moment your focus narrows, the noise gets louder, the room feels smaller, and the call demands clarity you are not sure you can access fast enough.This episode explores mental acuity: your ability to think clearly under pressure. Not perfectly. Not flawlessly. Clearly enough to make good decisions when everything around you is unstable.We break mental acuity down into four attributes that matter deeply in the field: situational awareness, compartmentalization, task switching, and learnability. Each one affects how you read a scene, manage your emotions, prioritize tasks, adapt to new information, and stay functional when the pressure spikes.We also talk about the cost of compartmentalizing without processing, the limits of multitasking, the danger of cognitive overload, and why staying teachable is not optional in a profession that is constantly evolving.Mental acuity is fragile, but it is trainable. This episode offers practical takeaways for EMS providers who want to stay sharp, stay steady, and stay ahead of the call.

Prehospital blood is one of the hottest debates in trauma resuscitation — and the evidence just got a lot more interesting. In this episode, Drs. Patrick Georgoff and Ayman Ali sit down with Dr. Ed Barnard, UK defense professor of emergency medicine and author of the landmark SWIFT trial, and Dr. Juan De Chesney, trauma surgeon and pioneer in prehospital blood programs, to break down what we actually know about getting blood to patients before they hit the doors. The SWIFT trial — the largest prehospital whole blood RCT to date — found no superiority of whole blood over component therapy, but the story is far more nuanced than a negative headline suggests. From the logistics of carrying blood on a helicopter to the stark reality that only 1.8% of US ground EMS carries any blood products at all, this conversation exposes both the progress and the enormous gaps that remain. Hosts: Ayman Ali, MD: Ayman Ali is a Behind the Knife fellow and general surgery PGY-4 at Duke Hospital.  Patrick Georgoff, MD @georgoff: Patrick Georgoff is faculty in the Department of Surgery at the Duke University School of Medicine where he serves as an Associate Professor of Trauma, Acute, and Critical Care Surgery and Trauma Medical Director. He is a leading educator and creator for Behind the Knife, a premier digital education platform and podcast advancing surgical training through innovative, high-yield multimedia content. Juan Duchesne, MD: Juan Duchesne is a trauma surgeon and Professor of Surgery serving as the Trauma Medical Director and Division Chief at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. His pioneering contributions to the field—particularly in whole blood and balanced resuscitation practices—have been honored with numerous accolades.  Ed Barnard, PhD FRCEM FIMC RCSEd, @edbarn @DefProfEM: Ed Barnard is an emergency physician and UK Defence Professor of Emergency Medicine, RCEM/NIHR Associate Professor, and Affiliated Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge. He has sub-specialty training in pre-hospital and academic emergency medicine and possesses extensive experience in trauma, anaesthesia, and critical care across both civilian and military settings. His contributions to the field have been honored with five national research awards and a PhD - undertaken with the US Army in San Antonio, TX.

Chairman Jason Smith of the House Ways and Means Committee joins the Try That In A Small Town podcast from CMA Fest in Nashville. He breaks down what the powerful Ways and Means Committee actually does and how it touches every American's life through taxes, trade, Social Security, Medicare, and more. Jason opens up about his small-town Missouri roots, being a fourth-generation farmer, raising white buffalo, and why he still lives in the same rural community he represents. He explains how he took the Ways and Means Committee on the road to 32 states to listen to working families, small businesses, and farmers before writing what he calls the “Big Beautiful Bill” – the largest tax cut in U.S. history, including no tax on tips and overtime. The conversation gets candid on Social Security's future, election integrity and slow vote counts in places like California, and what happens when people lose trust in the system. Jason also shares behind-the-scenes stories of working closely with President Trump – from grilling him for three hours on every line of a 103-title tax bill in the Oval Office to the now-famous “red button” that just orders Diet Coke. Along the way, they talk CMA Fest, Jason's obsession with Reba, the Chiefs, Mahomes vs. Brady, cleaning up Washington, D.C., and why he believes the founding fathers' values are really small-town values. Jason closes with a powerful story of a single mom whose $10,000 tax refund changed her life – and why that's why he still fights for small towns and working families.

Welcome back! After the rigmarole (kids, drivers, people, food); Ron has a superhero alter ego trivia test for us; Chris wonders what we would have done other than Fire and EMS.

This week on The Back of the Pack Podcast, we were supposed to be reviewing the Clinton Historic Half Marathon, but severe storms, lightning, heavy rain, and flooding had other plans. After the half marathon was cancelled on race morning, we turned a missing race review into a much-needed conversation about runners, weather, and knowing when toughness crosses the line into bad decision-making. We talk about the difference between uncomfortable weather and dangerous weather, because a little rain is one thing, but thunder, lightning, flooding, tornado warnings, and falling tree limbs are a whole different beast. From there, we dig into why lightning should end the conversation immediately, what actually counts as safe shelter, and why a picnic shelter, dugout, tree, tent, or set of metal bleachers may not protect you the way you think. We also look at how runners can quickly read the skies, from darkening clouds and greenish storm light to sudden wind shifts, shelf clouds, rotating clouds, and that eerie calm before things get ugly. Since flooding helped cancel Clinton, we spend time on why water over roads, trails, underpasses, bridges, and creek crossings is not just an inconvenience, it can become a serious danger for runners and race directors alike. We also cover tornado watches versus warnings, what runners should do if caught outside, and why race directors have to consider not just runners, but volunteers, spectators, police, EMS, course access, and everyone else involved in race day. It may not be the race recap we planned, but it is a practical weather-safety episode for every runner who has ever looked at the radar and thought, “I can probably squeeze this in.”

Are we living in the golden age of pinball right now? In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest questions in the pinball hobby: is modern pinball better than ever, or are we just caught up in the moment? I also talk about how my own perspective might be shaped by when I entered the hobby. I got into pinball around 5–6 years ago, so the era of modern Stern, Jersey Jack Pinball, Chicago Gaming, Spooky Pinball, American Pinball, and all of these new releases has been my “normal.” But for veteran players who grew up on EMs, solid-state games, or the classic Bally/Williams era, the golden age of pinball might mean something completely different. We discuss the moving scale of nostalgia, why every generation of players may see “their era” as the best, and whether some longtime pinball fans have evolved with modern pinball — or if modern rules, deeper code, LCD screens, licensed themes, and complex modes have changed the hobby too much for some players. From classic pinball machines to today's feature-packed games, we ask the big question: are we actually in the golden age of pinball… or will we only realize it years from now? Drop a comment and let me know: what do YOU think is the true golden age of pinball? Looking to Buy a New or Used Pinball Machine?

This week I'm reading from Richard Lang's book 'UAP Incidents First Responders Guide: POLICE - EMS - FD' UFO/UAP Enigma Is Real - Now more than ever it is becoming clear to the general public that UFO/UAP enigma is real. After years of secrecy the truth is finally coming out about vehicles of non-human origin that have visited here, some that have crashed here, and non-human entities both dead and alive that have been recovered. UAP Incident Preparedness for First Responders - Just as officers were once trained in hazardous materials recognition and counterterrorism preparedness, UAP Incident Preparedness will hopefully become a necessary component of public safety operations and training. Law enforcement officers are uniquely vulnerable to UAP encounters due to the isolated and unpredictable nature of patrol work. Therefore, it stands to reason that sheriff's offices, police departments, fire departments and EMS rescue squads would now want their people properly trained to understand this phenomenon, to at least know a little bit about the history of it and most importantly from a personal safety perspective, know what to do and not do if they ever encounter such a situation. Bio Ufologist - Researcher - Investigator - Author - Speaker Richard Lang was an FAA Licensed Commercial Pilot with an Instrument, Multi Engine Rating for over thirty years. He has a bachelor's degree in Aeronautical Studies and an Associate's Degree in Aviation Management from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida. Mr. Lang enjoyed a successful career for more than 20 years in the corporate banking world as a Senior Vice President working in Brokerage and the Trust Investment Division of Commercial Banks, which afforded him personal time off and sufficient income to explore a lifelong interest in UFO/UAP research. MUFON STAR TEAM While employed in the corporate banking world during the 1990s, Richard joined the UFO organization known as MUFON and was certified as a Field Investigator; he eventually was appointed as Chief Investigator for MUFON in both Virginia and North Carolina. He was one of the original six members of the elite MUFON STAR team where he functioned as coordinator and the first manager of the team. Virginia Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Richard attained registration as a Private Investigator and Personal Protection Specialist with DCJS in 2000 and he worked part time for a private investigation firm in Charlottesville doing surveillance and investigation. In 2002, Lang graduated from the Police Academy and certified as a sworn law enforcement officer in Virginia as a Reserve Deputy for the Albemarle County Sheriff's Office, primarily providing volunteer community service on weekends and evenings which he really enjoyed. During this time, he received certification from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services as a Search-Rescue Field Team Leader and was certified as a Weapons of Mass Destruction Responder from the US Department of Justice. Federal Law Enforcement In the post 911 period Mr. Lang left his banking career to serve as a Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) at the rank of Sergeant in Virginia airports. He was sworn both on the federal level as Special Deputy for the U.S. Marshals Service and on the state level as a Deputy Sheriff for the County Sheriff's Office. During this time the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was initially created as Congress had mandated extremely high levels of security for USA Airports. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) After serving for approximately a year as a LEO Richard was hired by Homeland Security and assigned to TSA as a Federal Liaison for airport stakeholders responsible for implementing federal procedures and dealing with regulatory initiatives associated with aviation security. This also included responsibility for airlines and airport authorities as well as all law enforcement agencies in Virginia that respond to airports during aviation emergencies. He was a member of the Anti-Terrorist Advisory Council Board (organized by the U.S. Attorney's Office) where he frequently served as key speaker on terrorism at quarterly regional meeting hosted by Homeland Security. http://www.langpublication.com/ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GNMK85XR https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/ https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast https://simonbown.com/ My new book, Aspects of Alien Abduction https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GRRPCT9Y Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

First Line Tech CEO Amit Kapoor On this episode of the Disaster Podcast, Amit Kapoor, CEO of First Line Technology joins the show to talk about hazardous materials and decontamination techniques and tools. Among the novel tools and techniques are methods of Dry Decon which uses methods other than washing and dilution with copious amounts of water. First Line Technology designs and manufactures disaster preparedness and emergency response equipment – taking ideas from the Lab to Life-Saving Products. Among those products is FiberTect. This is a multi-layered, nonwoven composite designed to absorb and adsorb hazardous substances, including CWAs and TICs. Its lightweight, flexible design ensures easy use in emergency response and field operations. B-A-R Method Training teaches the Blot, Apply, Remove technique for effective decontamination. This structured approach ensures proper contaminant removal while maximizing efficiency and safety in the field. The BAR method is trusted by professionals to simplify decontamination while maintaining safety and effectiveness in high-stakes scenarios. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary CBRN Technology for First Responders Sam and Jamie discussed weather conditions, with Sam reporting dry weather in rural Missouri and Jamie updating on Tropical Storm Amanda in the eastern North Pacific. Amit Kapoor, president and CEO of Firstline Technology, joined the conversation to discuss his company’s 23-year focus on developing technology for first responders and first receivers, particularly in CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear) situations. Sam highlighted the importance of CBRN protection for first responders, sharing a personal experience about a paramedic who developed chemical pneumonia during a hazmat incident. CBRN Contamination Decontamination Methods AmitKapoor discussed the gap in secondary contamination issues during CBRN and hazmat incidents, focusing on challenges in transporting contaminated casualties to hospitals. He explained the differences between dry and wet decon methods, noting that dry decon eliminates the need for water, making it safer and more practical in various environments. AmitKapoor mentioned the PRISM study conducted by HHS, which provided scientific evidence supporting the efficacy of dry decon methods. Emergency Decontamination Misconceptions Discussion Amit Kapoor discussed common misconceptions about decontamination (Decon) in emergency medical services and fire communities. He explained that decon is often viewed as unattractive compared to more exciting aspects like detection and triage, and highlighted two key misconceptions: how clean is clean, and that decon has been overcomplicated. Amit emphasized the importance of hybrid decon approaches combining dry and wet methods, and stressed that while there’s no silver bullet solution, having the right knowledge and tools is crucial, particularly noting that water and dilution are not always the best approaches. CBRN Patient Decontamination Method AmitKapoor explained the BAR method (Blot, Apply, Remove) for decontaminating patients at CBRN incidents using FiberTech material, which is a DOD-funded textile containing activated carbon that absorbs and holds chemical threats. He demonstrated the method using a kitchen cleaning analogy, showing how contamination should first be blotted up, then a cleaning solution applied, and finally any remaining contamination removed. Jamie expressed interest in learning more about organizations’ responses to this approach and requested more information about presentations at conferences. Hospital Decontamination Systems Training Amit Kapoor discussed hospital decontamination systems and training approaches, explaining how his company provides modular decon kits (MDK) that can scale from single patients to mass casualties, along with comprehensive training programs including online courses and a free Decon Field Guide app. The discussion highlighted the importance of proper decon training, with Amit noting that many hospitals only train staff once yearly on outdated mass-casualty protocols rather than addressing everyday contamination scenarios. T he conversation also covered access to training resources through Firstline Technology’s learning management system and the need for better preparation across fire departments, EMS agencies, and hospitals for various contamination threats. Wrap up and updates The team went through contact information and the team encouraged listeners to stay safe. The group discussed the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

Send us Fan MailYou can be the person everyone runs to on their worst day and still feel like you're falling apart in silence. I sit down with Dr. Maribel, a trauma-informed clinician who works side-by-side with first responders, to talk about what really happens when the job becomes your identity and the calls start piling up in the background of your life.We get into the realities that don't make the highlight reel: sleep deprivation, shift work, chronic hypervigilance, relationship strain, drinking and other coping habits, and the fear that being honest will cost you your spot, your gun, or your career. Dr. Maribel explains why her team built Life Force Recovery as a treatment center for first responders with strong peer support, so people can get help before the backpack gets too heavy and retirement turns into a crash.We also explore practical recovery tools beyond talk therapy, including neurofeedback and hyperbaric oxygen therapy for PTSD and PTSI, plus trauma processing approaches like brainspotting and EMDR-style work. The conversation goes straight at the hard topic too: why suicide has become the number one occupational killer for firefighters, what warning signs get missed, and how real connection, culturally competent care, and hope can interrupt that spiral.If you're in the fire service, law enforcement, EMS, dispatch, or you love someone who is, listen through and share it with a friend who's been carrying too much.

Send us Fan MailYou can build the best peer support team on paper, fund the best wellness initiatives, and still miss the people who are hurting the most. That's where this conversation with Dr. Stacey Raymond goes, and we don't stay polite about it. We talk about why first responder mental health needs to start at the academy level, with a clear warning: the job will expose you to traumatic events, and it will change your sleep, your relationships, and how you see the world. We also get specific about a topic that frustrates a lot of officers and clinicians alike: what “vetted therapist” should actually mean. If you're a clinician who wants to work with police, fire, EMS, or dispatch, cultural competence isn't a buzzword. It's ride-alongs, learning how calls really flow, understanding why police often don't get to process between calls, and recognizing how trust is earned minute by minute. Along the way we highlight the hidden load carried by 911 dispatchers, including relentless exposure to crisis audio, limited movement, and little closure due to HIPAA. Then we zoom out to leadership and risk. Chiefs and supervisors often want certainty about who is “safe,” but human behavior is dynamic and can shift fast with substances, gambling addiction, and life stress. Dr. Raymond shares research using the ACEs questionnaire and adult attachment patterns, showing how certain adverse childhood experiences correlate with avoidant, mistrustful coping, meaning some officers will bypass peer support and refuse therapy even when they know they're struggling. If you care about police wellness, first responder resilience, EMDR-informed trauma treatment, and building a culture where getting help doesn't feel dangerous, hit play.

Mike Brown sits down with Dr. Sarah Fabiano and Mike Ellis as they distill pediatric diabetic ketoacidosis into a clear prehospital approach. Using a “sour blood stew” recipe metaphor, they explain how zero units of insulin produces ketones, osmotic diuresis, dehydration, and electrolyte shifts. Key takeaways for EMS: prioritize perfusion with IV fluids (lactated Ringer's preferred), monitor rhythm, obtain potassium before giving insulin, use a two bag insulin/dextrose strategy to close the anion gap safely, and avoid intubation unless absolutely necessary as spontaneous ventilation supports the physiologic need for higher alveolar tidal volumes.   This podcast is brought to you by Medical Shipment: https://medicalshipment.com/

Whole blood is the current bright, shiny thing in EMS medicine. It works in the hospital and is what our patients are bleeding out onto the road so it just seems to make sense that we should put back what they're loosing. But… is it any better than blood components? That's the question the authors of TOWAR tried to answer. One of those authors, Dr Frank Guyette, joins us for a two episode interview about this trial and about trials in general. Dr Guyette is an EM and EMS physician, medical director for STATMedEvac, and Professor of Emergency Medicine at University of Pittsburgh. He is also a research leaders with the LITES network, the parent network for the TOWAR trial. We discuss the challenges of conducting large, multi-center randomized controlled trials in episode I, including funding and the ethics of prehospital research. In episode II, we'll jump into the details of the TOWAR trial itself.Reference:1.

Send us Fan MailA call can end, the scene can clear, and your body can still be on the call months later. We sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Stacy Raymond to talk about what actually works for first responder mental health when the job leaves you with nightmares, intrusive images, a short fuse, and sleep that never fully comes back. We also dig into why the “tough it out” culture quietly pushes people toward avoidance and alcohol instead of recovery.We get practical about EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and how it's used with police officers, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers, corrections, and veterans. Stacy breaks down bilateral stimulation methods like eye movements, handheld tappers, and alternating tones, and we clear up common misconceptions, including the fear that EMDR is “electroshock” or that you must retell every detail of your worst call. We also talk about the clinical guardrails that matter: a real intake, readiness, and careful screening for alcohol misuse or prescription medication abuse so the work stays safe and the gains stick.We zoom out to the bigger story: ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) and why higher ACE scores can raise risk for operational stress injuries, plus how peer support and confidentiality shape whether people ever feel safe enough to get help. The takeaway we want you to hold onto is tactical: treat acute stress early, protect your sleep, and keep your brain mission-ready without carrying the call forever. If you're in a mental health crisis, call 988 for assistance in the United States and Canada.To reach Stacy, please go to her website: https://www.drstacyraymond.com/Her Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/stacyshrink1414/You can buy her book hereSubscribe, share this with someone on your shift, and leave a review so more first responders can find real trauma tools that work.Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
