Special topics for your consideration include: a shocking comparison to a film we reference too regularly, being a professional hater, weird swimwear, exercise motivation, and sassy children. Hey we did these movies in order! We covered the original in Episode 253. You can support us at patreon.com/werewolfambulance and listen to a ton of action movie episodes. We'll have a poll up soon to choose a new action movie in the James Bonds series. That's his name, right?

Community risk reduction doesn't have to start with smoke alarms, fall prevention or another familiar program. Sometimes it starts with a firefighter asking, “What does our community actually need?” Cherry Grove (Michigan) Fire and Rescue Chiefs Noah Knauf and Aaron Sogge have taken that approach with Dad 101, a class created by dads for dads that tackles everything from infant care and choking to what parents can expect when they call 911. But the bigger story is how one idea opened the door to more: safe-sleep education, car-seat checks, bike safety, autism-focused training and programs aimed at the next generation of firefighters and EMTs. Knauf and Sogge also make the case for giving members room to act on what they see in homes every day. The takeaway for leaders: Stop treating CRR like a checklist. Listen to your people, find the right partners and give good ideas room to run. This episode of the Better Every Shift Podcast is sponsored by TheFireStore.

Malicious cyber-attacks are increasingly driven by AI and identity vulnerabilities. Today, we sat down with Adam Meyers from CrowdStrike to detail this acceleration and offer some solutions. Attack Acceleration Meyers highlights a significant decrease in breakout time, which is the duration between initial access and lateral movement. In 2024, the average breakout time was 48 minutes. By 2025, this decreased to an average of 29 minutes, with the fastest recorded at 27 seconds. One reason for these attacks is strategic. Current defenses often focus heavily on endpoints while neglecting identity and cloud control planes.  Specifically, organizations must monitor many issues. For example, unauthorized users provisioning new multi-factor authentication (MFA) devices. Also, impossible travel scenarios where logins occur from disparate geographic locations in impossible timeframes. During the interview, Meyers expands on the concept of "cross-domain hunting." They must constantly switch between roles—such as threat hunting and incident response—across various tools and screens, contributing to burnout rates comparable to air traffic controllers or EMTs. Emerging Trends AI is driving a massive increase in vulnerability discovery; CVE publications in June 2026 were up 96% compared to June 2025. Additionally, machines now generate two and a half times as many detections as humans. The conclusion is that AI will be able to fight AI in cybersecurity.  It may be a rocky road, but it will balance the threat in the end.

Logan City Mayor Mark Anderson details the ongoing 42-inch waterline replacement project and the construction of a new 10-million-gallon water storage tank designed to stabilize city water pressure.

On the Build Your Success podcast, Brian welcomes Jake Mazulewicz, founder of JMA Training, who helps leaders prevent dangerous and expensive errors through practical skills rather than compliance or safetymanagement systems. Jake shares his background in adult education, training EMTs and firefighters, and a decade at Dominion Energy, where a costly human error sparked his focus on understanding and reducing serious errors using applied psychology, communication, teamwork, and leadership. He defines leadership as inspiring people while supporting their individual needs, buildingdiscretionary effort and trust. Jake outlines his book's seven practical steps, includinglearning-based approaches, psychological safety, after-action reviews, investigations, classic defenses, process improvement, and resilience, then explains after-action reviews using a plan-brief-do-debrief cycle and five keyquestions to build ground truth, learning, and team trust.Guest Social:Jake Mazulewicz, Ph.D. | LinkedInGuest Website:JMA Human Reliability Strategies | hopHost Email: brianb@buildcs.net Host LinkedIn:  Brian Brogen, PMP

Episode 670 features four powerful stories that reflect on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. Episode topics – Personal accounts from dispatchers, EMTs, firefighters, and police officers on September 11th, 2001 Behind-the-scenes realities of working in public safety during a national tragedy The emotional impact and long-term effects experienced by first responders How 9/11 led to critical changes in technology and emergency communications Lessons on resilience, community response, and the ongoing importance of sharing these stories If you have any comments or questions or would like to be a guest on the show, please email me at wttpodcast@gmail.com.

25 years after September 11, 2001, the images are still impossible to forget. The airplanes. The burning World Trade Center. The collapse of the Twin Towers. The dust-covered faces. The rubble. The fear. And the moment the world seemed to collectively gasp.In this special episode of What's New with ME, I share my deeply personal 9/11 story and reflect on how September 11 changed America, my family, American politics, immigration, national security, faith, and an entire generation.On September 11, 2001, I was a 15-year-old living in Casablanca, Morocco, thousands of miles away from New York City. My mother was already living in New Jersey, and as the attacks unfolded, communication became difficult and I had no immediate way of knowing whether she and my family were safe.I also share the vivid memories I carry from watching the attacks unfold on live television in Morocco, including the World Trade Center burning and collapsing, the destruction at Ground Zero, and the reactions I personally witnessed around me.At the exact same time, a 13-year-old girl named Claudia was immigrating from Colombia to the United States. Her arrival in America happened on September 11, 2001. Her flight was disrupted and landed in Miami.Years later, Claudia would become my wife.Our lives would eventually become part of a much larger American story.My older brother went on to serve in the United States Army, completing two tours in Afghanistan.My sister became a police officer.My cousin serves in Homeland Security.My wife volunteers in EMS.And today, I am raising my children in America, serving my community, and running for Eatontown Borough Council.This episode also examines the legacy of 9/11 beyond Ground Zero: the War on Terror, Afghanistan, Homeland Security, airport security, immigration policy, national security, fear of terrorism, attitudes toward Muslims and Middle Eastern immigrants, and the political worldview of an entire generation of Americans.But above everything else, this episode is about remembrance.Nearly 3,000 people went to work, boarded airplanes, responded to emergency calls, or simply began their normal Tuesday morning—and never returned home.We remember them.We honor the firefighters, police officers, EMTs, service members, families, survivors and countless Americans whose lives were forever changed.Twenty-five years later, I don't believe fear should have the final word.The strength of America inspires me to stand tall, love hard, protect my family, serve my neighbors and do everything I can to do what is right—as a father, husband, Christian, American and community member.September 11 changed America.It changed my family.And it changed me.We remember. We serve. And we never forget.For more episodes of What's New with ME, original interviews, news, history, business, faith and community conversations, visit:TheMEStudios.net

Twenty-five years after the September 11th attacks, the stories of those who lived through that day remain as powerful and necessary as ever. Tim Brown, a career firefighter and emergency management professional, was at the heart of it all. His new book, “The Greatest Love: Lessons for Living with Extraordinary Courage Even After the Worst Day of Your Life,” is a testament to the heroism and humanity he witnessed firsthand. In a recent conversation on the Follow Your Different podcast, Tim Brown shared his deeply personal account of that morning, offering a perspective that is both heartbreaking and profoundly inspiring. Approximately one third of Americans today were either not born or too young to remember September 11th. That is precisely why Tim Brown’s voice matters so much right now. His account cuts through the noise of time and reminds us of the truth: 2,977 innocent human beings were intentionally murdered by radical Islamist terrorists. Not just Americans, but people of all colors, all faiths, and all beliefs. Tim speaks this truth with care and precision, having learned firsthand the weight that words carry when describing one of the most painful days in modern history. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Tim Brown and the Morning Everything Changed Tim Brown was working at the Mayor’s Office of Emergency Management on September 11th, 2001, stationed at Seven World Trade Center. He had traded his fire helmet for a tie in 1998 when Mayor Giuliani invited him to help build a new emergency management office. That morning, he was simply reading the newspaper and eating breakfast when the power went out, signaling that something was terribly wrong. When a young woman told him a plane had hit the tower, Tim did not hesitate. He put on his helmet, his windbreaker, and his boots, and he ran toward the North Tower. While most people were running away from danger, Tim Brown was running directly into it, driven by a lifelong instinct to help people in need. He had been doing it since he was 15 years old, and September 11th was no different.   The Greatest Love Witnessed in the Tower Lobby Inside the towers, Tim Brown encountered something that stopped him in his tracks, not in fear, but in awe. Hundreds of office workers were making their way toward the escalators and underground exits, directed by Port Authority officers to safety through the shopping mall beneath the complex. What Tim saw was not panic or chaos but something far more remarkable and deeply human. For every person who was elderly, pregnant, disabled, or injured, there were four or five ordinary office workers helping them move to safety. No one was pushing or trampling others. People were reaching out to strangers in the middle of a catastrophe. Tim describes this moment as seeing the truth of 99 percent of humanity, a truth he has carried with him ever since and that forms the very foundation of his book’s message.   Tim Brown’s Mission: Honoring the Real Heroes Tim Brown is clear about why he wrote “The Greatest Love.” He wanted the title to reflect the actions of the 343 firefighters, 72 law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, and others who gave their lives that day. Each one of them made a conscious choice to lay down their life for strangers, and Tim Brown believes that act is the purest definition of love that exists. He has spent the years since September 11th advocating for first responders, their families, and the broader healing of a nation. He has sat in the courtroom at Guantanamo Bay and witnessed terrorists express pride in their actions. Yet despite everything he has seen and lost, Tim remains a man shaped not by hatred but by love. His story is a reminder that even on the worst day imaginable, love is the force that endures. To hear more from Tim Brown and his thoughts and advocacy about 9/11, download and listen to this episode. Bio Tim Brown is a retired, decorated 20-year FDNY firefighter and 9/11 survivor who lost friends on September 11, 2001, including his two best friends, Captain Terry Hatton and Captain Patty Brown. A veteran of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Brown served as a supervisor for Mayor Giuliani's Office of Emergency Management on 9/11. On that day, Brown was responsible for the safe evacuation of hundreds of workers in the South Tower before being caught in its collapse while only 20 feet away. He survived by holding onto a vertical column in the lobby of the nearby Marriott Hotel as debris buried the structure. Now a sought-after motivational speaker and media commentator, Tim Brown dedicates his life to defending the memory of those lost and educating audiences on resilience, leadership, and emotional recovery. He is the founder of The Families Inc., a charity supporting 9/11 victims’ families, and serves on the U.S. Department of Defense's 9/11 Prosecution Task Force.   Links Tunnels to Towers Foundation   We hope you enjoyed this episode of Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different™!

In this episode of the Medic2Medic Podcast, retired Long Beach Fire Department Captain James Owen shares his story with remarkable openness and brutal honesty.After nearly three decades in emergency response, James talks about what the job gave him and what it quietly took away. He takes us through cumulative operational stress, PTSD, addiction, organizational betrayal, family impact, treatment, and the difficult work of recovery.James also discusses his book, The Last Patient: A Memoir of Resilience and Recovery, and the gap between how well we train first responders to handle the call and how poorly we sometimes prepare them to deal with what remains after the call is over.This is a compelling and deeply personal conversation about identity, accountability, asking for help, and rebuilding a life when the person trained to rescue everyone else realizes he needs help himself. James doesn't tell his story as a responder. He tells it as a firefighter, paramedic, captain, husband, father, and first responder who lived it.Subscribe to Medic2Medic wherever you get your podcasts, and please share Episode 336. This is a conversation worth hearing, and one our profession needs to continue having.https://www.spreaker.com/episode/episode-336-james-owen--74592215

Tonight we have Bram Duffee PhD, EMT-P on to talk about critical incident stress and management of psychological emergency communication. Bram is a paramedic, professor, author, and podcaster. He’s most recently written the book “Psychological Emergency Communication and Care by First Responders” along with Joseph Brigandi, MD, M.Ed., NCC, LPC-S. You can reach out to Bram at ProfessorBram.com. The episode included our disaster emergency management expert, Becky DePodwin and was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. 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 Psychological Emergency Communication Book Discussion Bram discussed his recent book “Psychological Emergency Communication and Care by First Responders,” which he co-authored with Joseph Bergondi, a counselor and psychotherapist. Bram shared his background as a 30-year paramedic in Houston and a communications professor at Kennesaw State University in Georgia. The group also discussed Bram’s podcast focused on EMS research and plans to potentially connect Bram with Dr. Joe in the future to discuss research topics. Psychological Emergency Response Guide Sam and Bram discussed a practical guide for navigating psychological emergency situations designed for first responders including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, EMTs, dispatchers, and lifeguards. Bram explained that while first responders receive basic training in psychology, they often lack extensive expertise in this area and tend to categorize patients rather than understanding their underlying issues. The book, co-authored by Bram and Joseph Bergandi, aims to help first responders better communicate with psychological patients by teaching them about these issues while emphasizing that their role is to observe, manage risk, and neutralize situations rather than diagnose. Psychiatric Emergency Response Training Bram and Sam discussed the challenges of managing psychiatric emergencies in first responder situations, emphasizing the need for better communication training. Bram highlighted that current national standard curricula lack sufficient focus on psych patient care and suggested increasing training requirements for communication skills in emergency medical services. He also noted the importance of training for police officers and firefighters who often encounter psychiatric emergencies, advocating for the inclusion of communication skills alongside other technical training. Continuing Education Programs for Responders Jamie asked about examples of systems with robust continuing education programs for responders to build communication skills. Bram responded that some systems have psych response teams, including Harris County, Texas, but noted these teams typically aren’t the first line of contact during emergencies, with police officers often being the initial responders. Psychological First Aid Strategies Bram discussed his approach to psychological first aid, emphasizing the nocebo effect and the importance of using positive language to help traumatic situations. He explained strategies for working with psych patients, including having a single leader, validating patients’ experiences, and leveraging grandiosity. Bram also mentioned his book, which provides tips and phrases for different emergency responders and includes a glossary of psychological conditions aligned with DSM-5 standards. Naloxone Administration and Responder Burnout The discussion focused on naloxone administration in overdose cases, where Bram shared his experience as a paramedic, explaining that not all patients need to be fully revived and there are risks of causing delirium or violence when patients wake up suddenly. Bram discussed responder burnout, attributing it to both personal accountability issues and inadequate management training, particularly highlighting the need for managers to develop proper leadership skills. The group agreed to have Bram return for a future episode to discuss disaster management and large-scale incident response, as this topic was not fully covered in the current conversation. 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 MailPFAS doesn't care how experienced you are, how tough you are, or how “clean” the air looks. These forever chemicals are engineered to resist heat, water, and breakdown, which is exactly why they can linger in a responder's bloodstream for years and quietly build across a 20 to 30-year career. Kevin Ferrara lays out the science without the academic fog and connects it directly to what firefighters, paramedics, and EMTs face on real calls.We walk through the four exposure pathways that matter most for emergency services: legacy AFFF foam, turnout gear and its layered materials, PFAS-containing byproducts of combustion from modern fires, and the station and apparatus environment where contaminated dust spreads through living quarters and cab spaces. We also tackle a dangerous myth head-on: the absence of visible smoke doesn't equal safe air, especially during salvage and overhaul when contaminants can still be present and PFAS is odorless, colorless, and tasteless.Then we move from awareness to action with a clear operational framework based on the hierarchy of controls: eliminate and substitute fluorinated foam with fluorine-free alternatives, create clean cab and clean station boundaries, reduce cross-contamination in EMS operations, and enforce practical hygiene steps like on-scene gross decon, shower-within-an-hour policies, and safe laundering that keeps contaminants out of homes. We also explain why PFAS blood testing and biological surveillance can provide baselines, prove whether SOPs are working over time, and trigger earlier screening for kidney, thyroid, and cardiovascular issues.If you want a department-ready PFAS exposure reduction playbook, press play, share this with your crew, and subscribe so you don't miss what comes next.

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."

EMS workers are mourning the loss of one of their own. Longtime paramedic and inventory technician Chuck Brady died by suicide earlier this month. He worked with Allina Health EMS for 17 years. 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.

Steve Wirth has spent more than 5 decades helping shape the EMS profession as a paramedic, attorney, consultant, educator, author, and mentor. 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. Steve also shares memorable stories about Randolph Mantooth, reflects on the mentors who influenced his career, and talks about the honor of being recognized as one of Pennsylvania's EMS Legends.The conversation also explores how Page, Wolfberg & Wirth became involved with the documentary Into the Unknown and why telling the authentic story of today's EMS professionals is so important. There are few surprises as well. And because no Medic2Medic episode is ever completely predictable, our Executive Producer, Bailey Belle, my Golden Retriever, decided it was the perfect time to make her presence known. I left that moment in because sometimes the best conversations are the unscripted ones.This episode is filled with history, humor, leadership, and stories that remind us how relationships, mentorship, and a passion for serving others have helped shape the EMS profession we know today.Subscribe to Medic2Medic wherever you get your podcasts, and if you enjoy the show, please share this episode with a colleague or friend.

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. Trombone Record: Jill then discussed a world record attempt in Australia where 600+ musicians played trombones to break the previous record of 368 held in Washington D.C. Tragic Mistake Turned Miracle: Keith concluded by sharing a tragic story about a toddler in Arizona who was incorrectly declared dead after drowning in a pool, only to be found alive hours later in the morgue. 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. The team also exchanged funny one-liners and jokes throughout the show.

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). WHO CAN VOLUNTEER AS A DISASTER HEALTH SERVICES NURSE • Registered nurses (RNs) • Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) • Physicians (serve under RN supervision in this program) • EMTs (locally within the state they are licensed) • Any licensed healthcare professional with a current, active license WHAT DISASTER HEALTH SERVICES ACTUALLY DOES • Contacts families within 24 hours of a home fire or larger disaster • Helps replace lost medications, glasses, dentures, hearing aids, CPAPs, BiPAPs, and other durable medical equipment • Provides emotional support, physical support, and health navigation during recovery • Coordinates with pharmacies, insurance companies, and case managers on disaster overrides and paperwork • Works local, national, and virtual deployments TWO WAYS TO DEPLOY IN PERSON Travel to shelters and disaster sites nationwide (typical two-week commitment). Elizabeth has completed 20+ of these across the continental U.S. Virutally serve clients from your home computer and phone, on shifts scheduled around your life. Same training requirements.

In this week's episode, we are discussing a film chosen for its dubious honor of having an actual 0% on Rotten Tomatoes after release (don't worry, it's up to 9% now!): the 2026 movie "Psycho Killer."

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. Benoit fires back with his own "picture." In the Tazz/Lawler saga, Tazz spray-paints Lawler's rental car, smashes the window, and finds J.R. in the passenger seat.Other major discussion points include:- Rikishi moons Right to Censor, wins his match against the Goodfather, and teases Stevie Richards with the stink face before Bull Buchanan pulls him out at the last second to save the heat for SummerSlam- The six-person tag (Trish/Val/Test vs Chyna, Eddie Guerrero, and Steve Blackman) ends when Val's nunchuck attack on Blackman backfires and takes out Test instead- Kurt Angle pitches himself as Stephanie's partner backstage, promising the match won't last more than three minutes.

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.

When a child needs emergency transport to a children's hospital, families are often facing one of the hardest moments of their lives. Behind every ambulance ride, helicopter flight, or plane transfer is a highly trained team working together to keep children safe, while also supporting parents through the unknown. In this episode of Inside the Children's Hospital, Katie Taylor sits down with Kami Stone, Assistant Clinical Director at Texas Children's Hospital Austin, and Jacob, a transport EMT with the Texas Children's Kangaroo Crew, to talk about what pediatric transport really looks like behind the scenes. Together, they share: What happens when a pediatric transport team arrives The roles of EMTs, nurses, respiratory therapists, and physicians during transport How transport teams prepare for weather, traffic, logistics, and emergencies Why Texas Children's prioritizes family-centered care during transport What parents can expect during ambulance, helicopter, and plane transports How simulation training prepares teams for high-stress situations The emotional realities of caring for critically ill children and supporting families in crisis Why is asking questions during transport always encouraged The small moments of human connection that families never forget Jacob also shares his personal story of being treated at Texas Children's as a child after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes — and how that experience inspired him to dedicate his career to pediatric transport care. This conversation offers a rare look into the people and systems families depend on during medical emergencies, while reminding parents that they are never alone during the journey. About Our Guests Kami Stone, MSN, RN, NE-BC Kami Stone is the Assistant Clinical Director overseeing the Emergency Center, trauma program, and transport team at Texas Children's Hospital in Austin, Texas.

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. 

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. Then subscribe, share the show with someone on your shift, and leave a review so more first responders can find trusted mental health resources.The Behind the Badge and Beyond Website is:  https://www.behindthebadgeandbeyond.com/My website is: www.steve-bisson.comVideo version of the podcast is available at: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/resilience-development-in-action-first-responder-mental/id1569606639Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!DeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

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.
