It’s been more than a year since 33-year-old Martha Nolan was found dead on a wealthy Montauk entrepreneur’s yacht last August and police have yet to release her cause of death or any updates on the investigation. So now, Nolan’s family is asking the public for information, setting up a website and tip line just days after filing a $50 million lawsuit against Christopher Durnan, the man who was alone with Nolan when she died. Even though police say she showed no signs of violence, Nolan’s family says their independent investigation showed there was blood in her mouth, chest and back of her head when EMTs showed up more than an hour after she reportedly “went limp” on Durnan’s yacht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey friends! Today's episode is a two-parter: some security stuff up front, and then a big ol' personal celebration on the back half. If you're strictly here for the security bits, I love you and you're free to bail after the first half. If you're here for both, God bless you. Part 1: Kicking the tires on Insight Recon What it is: Insight Recon is an Active Directory security assessment tool out of Heath Adams' new venture, Breach Point. I signed up for early access a while back, finally got a login, and took it for a spin this week in my GOAD lab. Not a sponsor, not an ad — just a tool I was curious about. Watch it in action: I covered the install, a couple of hiccups I hit, and some of the report output in this week's TuesdayTOOLSday video over at 7MinSec.club. The setup: Log into the portal, grab the installer, run it on a domain-joined box, then pick whether you want to scan as your current user or specify creds. Say go, wait a few minutes, and your report card shows up on the dashboard. My two nitpicks (and they're mine, not necessarily yours): The download does a full-blown install with an install footprint, and the raw scan data gets shipped back up to Insight Recon so you can view your report. I can't help but compare everything in this space to PingCastle, where you unzip, run the EXE, and your HTML report is sitting right there on the C drive — nothing leaves the building. As someone who tries to be a good data janitor and nuke assessment data after reports go out, cloud storage is just one more place I've got to remember to go scrub. What I really liked: The remediation guidance is legit. I clicked into a few of the critical findings — some ESC/ADCS stuff especially — and it walked me through exactly what to change, why an attacker cares, how to verify the fix afterward, and where to go read more. There's also a "quick wins" view that pares the big list down to the biggest security impact for the least effort. The dashboard and the slide-out detail panes are genuinely pleasant to use. Why this matters even for offense-only folks: We're mostly on the offensive side with a little blue team consulting — we don't do hands-to-keyboard remediation. But I think you become a better pentester when you can speak confidently at delivery time about not just what to fix, but the gotchas that might bite them along the way. Pricing: On the podcast I guessed "a few thousand a year" and admitted that number may have come straight out of my bum cheeks. Turns out I wasn't too far off — there's a free tier to start, and paid runs $3,000/year with founder pricing at $1,500/year locked in for the first 25 customers. See the pricing page for the current details. Verdict so far: A promising first dance. I want to give it a proper workout — run it side by side with PingCastle on a couple of real assessments and see if either one has blind spots the other covers. More on that in a future episode. Part 2: Why I've got the giggidies My son Cam graduated paramedic school! As of tonight he has everything signed off to go take the gargantuan national test. I'm not going to pretend I got through recording this without getting a little watery-eyed. The journey: Senior year of high school, nothing career-wise floated his boat — there were subjects he tolerated and subjects he hated, and that was about it. Then a conversation with a family friend who's a paramedic lit a fire in his belly, and he's been running at it ever since: EMT coursework in high school, then straight into the paramedic program. How he did it: He wrestles with ADHD, so he had to figure out how to hack his own brain to get through a mountain of material. Come home from five or six hours of class, eat dinner, then hit the books again and re-take his own notes. Then he'd sit down with my wife or me and do an Ace Ventura-style verbal dump of everything he'd learned that day — and any time he caught himself glitching on something, he'd write it down, keep going, then go back and shore it up. Every single night. The Mr. Miyagi moment: My wife has been a nurse for 20+ years, and about six months ago she had to tell him she couldn't help anymore because he'd surpassed her in certain areas of healthcare. Yes, AI made a cameo: The night before his final scenario testing, he and I sat down and had Claude generate random practice scenarios so I could prompt him and just watch him talk for two minutes straight about airway management, medication dosing, all of it. The cliffhanger: Four-ish hours of individual scenario testing, an hour-and-a-half drive to the ceremony, and no word either way on if he passed his tests. I hit the front door of the building not knowing whether I was walking into smiles or tears — and right as my hand hit the door handle, a text came in with a giant happy face: I passed. Somebody must have been cutting onions in that parking lot. His people: Cam's the youngest of the bunch — most of his classmates had been working EMTs for years — and from day one they told him "we got you, we'll get through this together." For the group photo on the steps afterward, one of them tried to pick him up solo and just about threw her back out, so it took three of them. That's the little family he's got, and I hope they stay close, because they've all got that beast of a test coming next month. The hard part: If you've listened to the last few episodes, you know my dad passed away at the end of June, and that Cam was the one who found him and sprung into paramedic mode. My dad was a cop and a pilot who had enormous respect for paramedics, EMTs, and nurses, and he was one of Cam's biggest cheerleaders. Whenever I did something my dad was proud of, he'd say, "I'm busting my buttons over here!" That's exactly what he'd have said tonight, and not having him here to say it is a karate kick to the heart. But I'll tell you what — I'm busting my buttons about Cam for the both of us. Thank you: So many of you have reached out with condolences and shared stories of your own losses these past weeks. I'm sorry for every one of them, and I appreciate you more than I can say. Thanks for listening — to the security stuff, the tangents, or both. Come find us at 7MinSec.com, and/or subscribe (free or paid) over at 7MinSec.club, and dig through the our notes at 7MinSec.wiki.

A Texas woman survived a terrifying highway accident when a three-foot piece of rebar flew through her windshield and struck her glasses without leaving a scratch. She was driving through Flint, Texas, while delivering Instacart orders when a utility truck passed in the opposite direction and a piece of rebar came loose, flying directly toward her car. She had no time to react or move out of the way. The rebar sliced vertically through the windshield, hit her glasses, and landed in her lap, leaving her with only minor scratches. EMTs who responded to the scene told her she should not have survived the impact. She credits her survival entirely to God, saying she has no explanation for how she walked away unharmed. Ponder God can protect us in moments when there is no time to react and no way to help ourselves. Scripture “For he will give you into the care of his angels to keep you wherever you go.” Psalm 91:11 AND A simple wrong number turned into a lifelong friendship between two strangers decades apart in age. Lauren Stevens, 24, began receiving text messages on her work phone meant for someone else, all addressed to "Vern Dog." Curious, she searched online and discovered the messages were meant for Verner, a 72-year-old San Francisco photographer who had spent decades traveling the world behind a camera. What started as a mix-up grew into a genuine connection as emails turned into phone calls, phone calls turned into video chats, and eventually the two were spending time together in person, singing karaoke and making TikToks together. As Verner struggled financially in an increasingly digital world, Lauren stepped in to help by sharing his photography online and starting a GoFundMe that raised more than $40,000 in his support. What began as a wrong number became a rare and meaningful friendship that changed both of their lives. Ponder True friendship does not check birth certificates, and it can arrive through the most unexpected circumstances, including a simple wrong number. Scripture "A friend loves at all times."

Paramedics are one of the many professions that experience unique mental health challenges. EMS providers are 1.39 times more likely to die by suicide than the public according to the CDC. Joining Minnesota Now to remember Chuck and talk about the mental health challenges EMS providers face is Brett Hopper. He is a paramedic and union president for the International Association of EMTs and Paramedics Local 167.

In Episode 332 of the Medic2Medic Podcast, Steve joins me for a wide-ranging conversation that goes well beyond EMS law.We discuss the early days of his career in rural Pennsylvania, what inspired him to pursue a career in law, and the chance meeting with EMS pioneer Jim Page that helped lay the foundation for what would become Page, Wolfberg & Wirth, one of the most respected EMS law firms in the country.

Intro and Catch Up Keith and Jill discussed their experiences selling newspapers, with Jill mentioning seeing the musical Newsies and Keith recalling the newspaper pricing structure from his youth. The conversation concluded with Keith mentioning his recent appearance on another podcast with Nathan Caldwell from Quest for Truth. The group discussed Keith’s experience hosting Isaac for a week, noting challenges with the teenager’s sleeping habits and behavior, particularly regarding excessive milk purchases and poor hygiene. Keith observed that having Isaac sleep upstairs rather than on the couch made a significant difference in the level of disruption. The conversation then shifted to technical issues Terry was experiencing with his sensor and phone, which were eventually resolved with help from someone nearby. News of the Week Heroic nurse: Keith shared a story about Kaylene Reed, his future daughter-in-law, who is a nurse who helped save a woman having a heart attack in a restaurant by performing chest compressions until EMTs arrived.

High Altitude Edibles: Terry shared a story about a black lab named Tokyo that got sick after hiking on Scotland’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis. The dog showed strange symptoms and slipped in and out of consciousness, leading to a mountain rescue mission where veterinarians discovered the dog had ingested marijuana, likely through an edible or cannabis plant along the trail. Blue Angels Wind Gust: Jill then told a story about chaos erupting on a Florida beach when the Blue Angels flew low over Pensacola Beach, causing hats, chairs, and tents to fly through the wind gusts; an investigation has been opened into the incident. Nectarine Rights Battle: Keith shared a story about a California farmer giving away free nectarines because a rival company claimed exclusive rights to the white nectarine variety he grows, preventing him from selling them. The farmer is now facing legal action for infringing on the company’s rights, though he argues he’s not making money from the giveaway. Handstand Record and Kitten Litter: Terry then shared several unusual Guinness World Records involving handstands and walking on hands, including a Nepalese athlete’s achievements, before concluding with a story about a pregnant cat in Oklahoma that gave birth to kittens and a rabbit. Jill's Weird Words Jill led a session discussing unusual words, including exiguity (scantiness), ennui (boredom), solatium (compensation/award), petrichor (smell after rain), and others. Keith and Terry participated by offering humorous definitions and comments throughout the session. Jill noted that one word’s definition seemed unclear, and Keith suggested that some of the provided definitions might not make logical sense. Terry's Top 10 List Terry shared a humorous top 10 list about blind children’s interactions on the playground, which included topics like guessing who ran by, debating sandbox colors, and discussing imaginary ice cream flavors. Anchor Topic The group then discussed airport travel experiences for blind individuals, with Keith and Jill sharing their perspectives on using wheelchairs for transportation and navigating airport facilities. The conversation included details about luggage handling, bathroom facilities on airplanes, and the overall process of traveling by air as a blind person, with both participants noting that airport staff are generally helpful in guiding travelers through the process. Email and Final Thoughts Keith shared several humorous stories and jokes during the podcast, including a tale about a golf player who received a transplanted arm and a story about a dog that kept napping at someone’s house. He also shared a voicemail about someone who slices cheese at a deli. Just don't share his secret identity. There was also a voicemail about a man who met the perfect woman.

Reliable emergency medical services require sustained investments in equipment, workforce development, and preparedness. In this episode, ASTHO member and Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Debra Bogen discusses how the state's latest $6.6 million investment in EMS is improving patient care, supporting first responders, and strengthening emergency response across Pennsylvania.

Twenty-plus deployments across the country. Coast to coast. And this month, Elizabeth Quinn was on standby to fly to Guam via Hawaii for a Category 5 typhoon response. On this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael continues her year-long Red Cross series with Deb Fleming, Executive Director of the Greater Shenandoah Valley Chapter, joined by Elizabeth Quinn — the Disaster Health Services Lead and a retired nurse who leads the volunteer nursing team responsible for the health side of every Red Cross disaster response, from home fires down the street to hurricanes across the country. Elizabeth walks through what the nursing deployment actually looks like: contact within 24 hours of a disaster to help families replace prescriptions, glasses, dentures, hearing aids, CPAPs and BiPAPs, and other health essentials the survivors probably haven't even started to think about yet. She explains the community-based model (RN-led, with physicians serving under nurse supervision — Elizabeth's favorite perk), the streamlined 8.5-hour training (down from 20), and the game-changing option most new nurse volunteers don't know exists: virtual deployments, where a nurse anywhere in the country can serve disaster survivors from their kitchen table for a scheduled shift. Plus a genuinely powerful story from a Mississippi shelter, where a nurse stayed two hours after her shift to help a gentleman who couldn't read reconnect with over $6,000 in back benefits he'd already earned. Deb closes with a national update — home fires, a hydrochloric acid train spill, flooding in Minnesota and Michigan, the Guam typhoon, blood donation shortages, and FIFA World Cup event support — and teases next month's guest: Dave, the volunteer who maintains Red Cross buildings across multiple regions (assuming she can convince him).

Kurt Angle dismisses the EMTs from Stephanie McMahon's room, tells her he really cares for her, and kisses her to close the show. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani break down the August 24, 2000 edition of WWF SmackDown, the final episode before SummerSlam 2000, live from the New Orleans Arena in New Orleans, Louisiana.The whole episode builds around one question: will Stephanie pick Triple H or Kurt Angle as her mixed tag partner? The McMahon family love triangle is at full boil, and the final two minutes of the show are, as Tommy puts it, maybe the most melodramatic moment in WWE history.Chris Jericho rolls out a Benoit photoshop promo that Tommy and Rob agree is well below the level of their blood feud, complete with Dr. Seuss rhymes.

This week on the EMS One-Stop podcast, Rob Lawrence sits down with emergency management and large-scale exercise expert Mike Marsh to explore what really goes into preparing agencies, communities and public safety partners for major events. With the FIFA World Cup underway, America 250 upon us, and countless local events happening every weekend, the conversation focuses on the practical realities of planning, exercising and pressure-testing emergency response systems before the big day arrives. | MORE: Training hard and fighting easy. Creating an effective tabletop training exercise for pre-planning MCI response Drawing on decades of EMS leadership experience and his current work through Marsh EMS Consulting, Mike shares how agencies can move beyond "grant compliance exercises" and build meaningful operational readiness. From tabletop exercises and ROC drills, to stakeholder coordination, communication failures and after-action reviews, Mike provides a masterclass in how to build resilient systems from the operator up. His central premise is simple: exercises should be designed to break the system in a safe environment so weaknesses can be identified and corrected before a real incident occurs. Whether you're preparing for a World Cup match, a county fair, or simply reviewing your MCI plans, this episode offers practical lessons for agencies of every size. Notable quotes "Our team is hired to break your system and rebuild it together." — Mike Marsh "The scene will be bigger than they are. And it is OK to ask for help." — Mike Marsh "We don't walk in and say, 'You don't understand ICS.' Actually, you do understand ICS, you just don't know that you're using it." — Mike Marsh "Identifying and learning are two different activities; and they have to be cemented in." — Rob Lawrence "Trust your people, know that you can't do it all, get a team together, train them, drill them, pressure them." — Mike Marsh "Prior preparation and planning prevents pathetic performance." — Rob Lawrence | MORE: 5 lessons for special events standby services and emergency response Episode timeline 00:00 – Introduction and why major events require planning, exercises and preparation 02:25 – Mike's journey from California EMS leadership to emergency management consulting in Texas 04:53 – The biggest misconceptions about exercises and tabletop planning 06:30 – What frontline EMTs and supervisors need to know when the incident is bigger than they are 08:07 – The first questions Mike asks when planning a major event 10:13 – Communication, stakeholder engagement and identifying operational gaps 12:16 – Translating ICS and NIMS concepts into practical operational language 17:08 – Planning a county fair exercise: where to start and why capability gaps matter 19:46 – Who should be at the planning table and why executive participation matters 21:23 – The role of public works, politicians, emergency managers and public information officers 22:29 – The best and worst exercises Mike has ever experienced 25:29 – How to challenge leaders who believe their plans don't need testing 28:01 – Exercise planning for small and rural systems with limited resources 30:22 – After-action reviews and turning lessons identified into lessons learned 32:11 – Advice for agencies that have never exercised their plans before 33:54 – Mike's biggest leadership lesson from a career in EMS and emergency management Rate and review the EMS One-Stop podcast Enjoying the show?

When we think of "first responders," our minds naturally go first to firefighters, police officers, and EMTs and the valuable work they do for people in emergencies. What we tend to overlook, however, is that animals are often involved in emergency situations as well- who cares for them? Enter Dr. Leigh Mack himself a firefighter and EMT as well as the founder of the First Responders' Veterinary Network. FRVN was established to address critical gaps in managing animal-centric emergencies. Drawing from his tenure at the South Carolina State Guard and two fire departments, Dr. Mack developed an scalable operational model for the field. The concept emerged from frontline encounters where animals hindered life-saving care, revealing a vital need for a network of volunteer veterinarians to treat injured animals and to help maintain scene safety. Dr. Mack joined the podcast today to talk about his work, and how you can get involved.   For show notes and more, please go to Your Family Dog.

You don't need Johns Hopkins to become a nurse. You don't even need four years. On this Laurel Ridge Community College edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael is back on the Zooms with Director of Marketing Guy Curtis, joined by Dr. Scott Vanderkooi, Dean of Health Professions, and Dr. Amanda Hodges, Interim Director of Nursing — to talk about how someone in this region can become a working RN in two years, often for far less money than they assume, and with a 100% job placement rate to show for it. The bigger news in this conversation is the launch of a brand-new weekend-and-online cohort starting in spring 2027, designed specifically for people who can't quit their jobs to go back to school. Online lectures, weekend labs, weekend clinicals — built around the reality that most adult learners are already working. Amanda walks through what the program looks like, who it's right for, and how CNAs, LPNs, EMTs, paramedics, and even total beginners can step in. Plus: how G3 state funding can cover the last dollar of tuition for eligible Virginia residents, and the upcoming online information sessions where you can learn more. ABOUT THE NEW WEEKEND RN COHORT Launching spring 2027, Laurel Ridge's new RN nursing cohort is built for adult learners who can't step away from full-time work. Lectures and coursework are delivered online. Labs, simulations, and clinical hours run on weekends. The program leads to an RN license — the same credential as the traditional weekday program — and qualifies for G3 last-dollar tuition funding for eligible Virginia residents. WHO IT'S FOR • Adults currently working who want to change careers • CNAs, LPNs, EMTs, paramedics, and surgical techs looking to advance to RN • People with no prior healthcare experience who want to enter the field • Anyone who needs to keep their current job while going to nursing school INFORMATION SESSIONS • First session: Monday, June 23, 2026 — online • Additional sessions throughout July (dates listed at laurelridge.edu/nursing) • Sessions cover the new weekend cohort, the traditional RN program, the CNA program, and the Practical Nursing program — plus admission requirements, the entrance exam, and how to prepare. Parents of high school students considering nursing careers are welcome to attend. ABOUT G3 FUNDING G3 (Get Skilled, Get a Job, Give Back) is a Virginia state program that covers the "last dollar" of tuition costs for high-demand career programs at Virginia community colleges. Eligibility is based on household income — roughly $100,000 to $128,000 depending on household size — and Virginia residency. G3 stacks on top of any federal financial aid (like FAFSA) so it covers what other aid doesn't.

Fourteen months between Eric Richins' death and Kouri's arrest. During that window, she closed a real estate deal the day after finding him dead, hosted a gathering at the home where EMTs had pronounced him, Googled luxury prisons and insurance timelines, published a children's grief book, and went on television to promote it.Most analysis focuses on whether the grief was real or performed. This episode argues the answer is both — simultaneously — in different compartments of a psychology that doesn't process deception the way most people understand it. The lie isn't a mask held in place with effort. It's a migration. The person moves into the new version of events and inhabits it. And in that version, the grief is genuine.The second installment of a five-part psychological series examining every phase of Kouri Richins' decision-making. The 911 call, the Google searches, the book, the TV tour — and a brain that can produce sincere tenderness for children it orphaned.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Millennials and Gen Z are not broke because of laziness but a broken system. Here is what is actually going on and what you can do about it. 

The raw truth behind the mental health crisis affecting firefighters, EMTs, police officers, and dispatchers. Licensed Clinical Social Worker Christie Haynes and Fire Captain Jeffrey Kessler (founder of Overwatch First Responder Services) share unfiltered stories about PTSD, cumulative trauma, family impact, and why so many first responders struggle in silence.In this powerful interview, they reveal:• Why firefighters & EMS often have different trauma than police• How to support a first responder spouse• The importance of culture change around mental health• Practical ways departments can prevent burnout and suicide If you or someone you love serves in uniform, this episode is a must-watch.

Over the past decade, police in America have shot and killed 1,939 people who were in the middle of a mental health crisis. That's 20 percent of all police killings in that time. Those deaths helped fuel a movement. Instead of armed police, more than half of the country's largest cities now send specially trained social workers and EMTs. This new generation of first responders handle 911 calls involving mental illness, substance use disorders, or suicidal thoughts. Call to Mind: The Fifth Branch is a special program made in partnership with the “Tradeoffs” podcast. This episode takes listeners to Durham, North Carolina, to meet people who have reimaged the city's crisis-response system.For more reporting like this, subscribe and follow Call to Mind on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, TuneIn or wherever you get your podcasts.

Send us Fan MailFive years ago, I hit publish with a simple goal: make mental health easier to talk about and easier to access. Now, Resilience Development in Action is built specifically for first responder mental health, because police, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, and dispatchers carry stress and trauma most people never see, then get told to just push through it.I'm sharing what's kept this podcast steady for weekly Wednesdays, including the behind-the-scenes support that makes the audio and video work, plus why I keep sponsorships limited to tools and brands I genuinely stand behind. You'll also hear why I don't want mental health care to be something you reach for only at the breaking point. I make the case for wellness visits, a practical “checkup from the neck up” that mirrors how we treat physical health and lowers the barrier to getting support early.We also dig into the work I'm doing with departments through FRTRESS, with a focus on education, familiarity, and referrals that actually fit the culture. And if you're curious about the video side, I point you to Apple Podcasts video and YouTube, plus a fun giveaway tied to what you can see on camera.If you've ever thought “I'm fine” while carrying too much, hit play.

Scheana is joined by Kiki Monique & Ryan Bailey for an episode that spirals in the best way—from real-life health scares to reality TV chaos, with absolutely no shortage of tea. And trust, this one covers everything: a DoorDash delivery in the ambulance, a hair dye allergy gone wrong, and Scheana casually admitting she may have poisoned baby Summer Moon. Then it gets existential. Scheana revisits a psychic reading that somehow blamed her behavior in a past life for her ex Rob's behavior in this one, while also declaring Brock a soulmate… but maybe just a lesson, versus a life partner? Jury's still out. Coachella chaos delivers exactly what you want: Scheana's best (and worst) sets, wandering the desert with friends, a gummy kicking in at the worst possible moment, and a case of mistaken identity that had people convinced she was hanging with Tom Sandoval. Which…is how rumors get started! Also, how did Summer Moon play a role in finding Brock's lost phone at Neon Carnival? And after three years, Tom and Ariana's house is finally in escrow—so of course, they have thoughts. A lot of them. Press play if you're ready for the kind of episode that starts with an ambulance and ends with an IG block. Again.
