In this powerful episode, the crew sits down with Australian former police officer, detective, wellness coach, and first responder advocate Erin Jane for an honest conversation about firefighter mental health, relationships, burnout, trauma, and resilience. Erin shares her journey from law enforcement in Australia to becoming a first responder wellness coach in the United States after meeting her firefighter husband in Berlin. She opens up about losing her father to suicide, volunteering on crisis hotlines, and why she felt called to create a space where first responders can talk openly without judgment. The crew dives deep into “cab therapy” and kitchen table conversations in the firehouse — why firefighters use dark humor to cope, why those conversations matter, and why sometimes they still aren't enough. Matt talks about missing the firehouse camaraderie while recovering from a heart attack and how the laughs inside the engine cab can become part of the healing process. Erin explains the importance of being intentional about wellness, from creating routines and exercising first thing in the morning to grounding yourself, decompressing after shift, and learning how to recognize stress before it spirals into burnout, divorce, addiction, or worse. The conversation also explores:The physiological effects of trauma and sleep deprivationWhy first responders struggle to ask for helpFear of stigma, losing careers, or appearing weakHow communication impacts firefighter marriagesWhy resentment can destroy relationshipsThe importance of self-awareness and emotional regulationThe reality of chronic sleep deprivation in the fire serviceHealthy coping strategies vs. maladaptive behaviors Doug asks Erin what firefighters and cops are best at hiding, and her answer hits hard: fear. The crew discusses how many first responders silently carry stress, trauma, and emotional exhaustion while pretending everything is fine. The episode balances heavy topics with plenty of laughs, including Erin introducing the now legendary “Sodomy Scale” — a humorous communication system she and her firefighter husband use to explain how rough a shift was without needing to relive every detail. The crew also talks about:

In this episode of The Cool Fireman Podcast, the guys circle back on a topic that sparked a lot of conversation—the “family feel” of the firehouse.After some feedback from listeners, they take a step back from the negativity and bring it back to what really matters: how the fire service shows up when one of its own is going through something tough.

Becoming a "program guy" or a trusted member of a crew isn't just about your skill with a nozzle; it's about how you handle the "game" of probation. This week, Nole and Kevin sit down with Taylor Morgan (Program Director for The Fire Up Program) to discuss the nuances of station culture that aren't taught in the academy. From the "laundry room dilemma" to handling the dreaded call to the Captain's office, we explore how small actions build, or break, your reputation.In this episode, we cover:Ownership over BS: Why "I don't know, sir, but I'll find out" is the most important sentence in a new firefighter's vocabulary.The "Peanut Butter Spoon" Test: How menial station tasks are actually indicators of your reliability on a fire scene.Social Intelligence: The dangers of oversharing and why your actions should always speak louder than your resume.The "7-Foot Captain" Story: A lesson in why you should always have a tool in your hand (and which ones you shouldn't try to borrow).Mentorship & The Fire Up Program: How Taylor uses the fire service model to help men grow in leadership and character.Big thank you to My Epic and Facedown Records for the use of their song "Hail" in our podcast!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz2RZThURTU&ab_channel=FacedownRecordsGet signed up for the next trip with Hold the Line!https://www.fireupprogram.org/hold-the-lineThe Fire You Carry on YouTube.Sign up for a class at The Fire Up Program!https://www.fireupprogram.com/programsThe Fire Up Progam video.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__ErPW46Ec&t=12s&ab_channel=FireUpProgramThe Fire You Carry Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/thefireyoucarry/Donate to The Fire Up Program.https://www.fireupprogram.com/donateThe Fire Up Program Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/fireup_program/Kevin's Instagram.https://www.instagram.com/kevinpwelsh/?hl=en

Firefighter Jake Ryks joins the Just a Little Salt podcast to dismantle the "hero" archetype often taught in fire science programs. He reflects on his early career, admitting he's actually less confident now than as a rookie because he finally understands the sheer depth of the profession.   The conversation shifts to the unique culture of the fire service, specifically the "sacred" firehouse table where rankings vanish and conflicts are settled in-house rather than through a formal chain of command. Jake also dives into the misunderstood world of Hazmat, demystifying it as a discipline of basic chemistry rather than a horror movie. From sampling jars of menstrual blood at government protests to discussing the "Hazmat Guys" podcast network, this episode offers a grounded look at the reality of special operations and the importance of sharing knowledge to elevate the entire crew.   Quick favor: take our 3-minute (anonymous) listener survey to help shape what we cover next: https://sprw.io/stt-lfjMN

Another 80s hard rock band from the 90s gets the full C&R treatment.

This week, we went out to the Firehouse backyard and dug up a time capsule from the decade when your two humble hosts met and decided to form their first band together: the sometimes amazing, sometimes confusing 1990s. The capsule revealed a collection of tunes spanning rock, punk, and metal. Robert was forced to test his endurance of the macabre and provided feedback that only Captain Content could. And all for your listening pleasure! What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show, Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection: an artist, album, or collection of tunes of rock, punk, and metal. This week, we talk exclusively about the 1990s and all things: grunge, alternative, goth, punk, hard rock, and everything in between. We hope that we turn you on to something new. Songs this week include: Sugartooth – “Frisbee” from The Sounds Of Solid (1996) The Mission U.K. – “Deliverance” from Carved In Sand (1990) Poster Children – “Junior Citizen” from Junior Citizen (1995) The Men – “Chuch Of Logic, Sin, & Love” from The Men (1992) Thee Hypnotics  - “Heavy Liquid” from The Very Crystal Speed Machine (1993) Mind Over Four – “Funny Pocket” from Halfway Down (1993) Overwhelming Colorfast – “Arrows” from Overwhelming Colorfast (1992) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

Incredible story about a cat that went missing for FIVE years and finally reunited with it's original owners, and a woman who was an original "Rosie the Riveter" is turning 100 years old and wants to help honor millions of women who powered the U.S. through World War II.

Another sign of the Wussification of America - Gen-Z people are saying that capital letters are "too intense". Elsewhere in sports, a NASCAR driver gets suspended, an NBA player uses his shoe to block a shot, and Colin Dorgan does it again!

#819 What if your side hustle could one day replace your full-time career — and give you your life back in the process? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we sit down with Mike Ettenberg, a former firefighter turned full-time entrepreneur and founder of Frontline Optics, a sunglasses brand built specifically for first responders. Mike shares how a childhood obsession with emergency services and a side gig in college led him to both firefighting and eventually e-commerce. You'll hear how he spent a full year developing a product he knew the market needed, why he swears by the “5 to 9” side hustle strategy, and how he scaled his business while still on shift at the fire station. From bootstrapping with overtime pay to leveraging AI for inventory and ad copy, Mike's journey is packed with insights for anyone ready to turn a passion into a profitable brand — without burning out along the way!

The BIT Improv Comedy Network – Mainstage Professor Michael Delaney Visits Dobbs Ferry This month on Mainstage, host Billy Merritt welcomes longtime collaborator and improv legend Professor Michael Delaney to talk about one very specific place: Dobbs Ferry, New York. What begins as a casual conversation about a small Hudson River town quickly spirals into a wildly improvised audio adventure featuring cursed skeletons, extremely unreliable restaurant hours, entrepreneurial ghosts, and a Dalmatian with a Revolutionary War résumé. Michael shares stories from his years living in Dobbs Ferry, raising a kid outside New York City, biking the Croton Aqueduct, and navigating the town's mysterious dining scene (including a sushi restaurant that specializes in being closed). From there, the Mainstage ensemble builds an entire comedic universe inspired by the town's lore. In This Episode Billy Merritt interviews Professor Michael Delaney about life in Dobbs Ferry The Croton Aqueduct, Hudson River history, and the town's Revolutionary War connections The legend of Sushi Mike's — the sushi restaurant that may or may not ever be open Ernesto the tomato-growing landlord A cursed British skeleton named Derek searching for closure A paranormal podcast investigating the town's supernatural problems Firehouse drama between jealous Dalmatians Graveyard rubbings, haunted cats, and questionable tourism opportunities A desperate mission to obtain sushi and lift an ancient curse from the town Apologies The BIT Comedy Network apologizes to the residents of Dobbs Ferry, the Hudson River Valley, George Washington, Martha Washington, British soldiers of the Revolutionary War, cursed skeletons, Dalmatians, the Dobbs Ferry Fire Department, Croton Aqueduct engineers, Ernesto, people sensitive to onions, paranormal podcasters, cursed cats, parents of skeleton-collecting children, and anyone who tried to get a reservation at Sushi Mike's.

What does it actually take to be "the first"? In this episode of the America's Work Force Union Podcast, we sit down with Haley Stevenson, the first female firefighter in the history of IAFF Local 555 and the Galesburg Fire Department. Haley pulls back the curtain on the "hiring gauntlet"—from the grueling physical combat challenge to the mental pressure of the fire academy. We also dive into a critical conversation on how union-management collaboration solved high-stakes policy gaps regarding pregnancy and light duty, proving that inclusivity doesn't mean lowering standards—it means strengthening the line. Listen now to hear: The reality of the 1.5-mile run and ladder climb. How a union household upbringing shaped her career path. The "hidden" recruitment barriers for women in the trades and public safety.

Joined this week by the one and only Anthony “AC” Casanas, and it was an amazing conversation! We started out by discussing firehouse culture and how he learned all about it long before he was ever a firefighter.  Why younger members need something real to emulate, and how social media can be either an incredible tool or an incredible hindrance. And so much more! Of course all of this was beautifully derailed by the amazing questions from the audience as usual!!
