Mike McCabe sits down with Brian MacLean, Assistant Chief of Cooper County (Missouri) Ambulance, to explore the realities of rural EMS. Serving 569 square miles in central Missouri, MacLean's team manages thousands of calls each year—with transport times stretching up to 90 minutes since their local hospital closed. MacLean shares why rural EMS demands sharp clinical skills, resilience, and total confidence in your equipment. He offers candid insight into fleet decisions, explaining why his agency chose Crestline ambulances for their cost-effectiveness, faster delivery, smart layout, and safety-focused design. Drawing on personal experience from an ambulance-involved crash, he underscores how vehicle design and properly secured equipment can make all the difference. Sponsored by Crestline Ambulances

Mike McCabe is the speaker in Bexhill this week

Simulation training has become a critical pillar of modern EMS education, bridging the gap between classroom learning and real-world field performance. In this episode of the EMS World Podcast, host Mike McCabe sits down with Nathan Harrison, Vice President of Operations at Simulator Solutions, to explore how high-fidelity simulation is transforming the way EMS providers train, prepare, and stay safe. Harrison shares the unique origin story of Simulator Solutions, a family-founded company born from the need for realistic ambulance training environments. Drawing on engineering expertise rather than clinical backgrounds, the team has focused on recreating the physical realities of EMS work — from confined spaces to constant motion — so providers can train under conditions that closely mirror the field. These simulators allow learners to experience challenges such as claustrophobia, equipment placement, and vehicle movement long before they encounter them on the job. The conversation highlights the safety benefits of simulation, including reducing preventable injuries and improving situational awareness. Harrison explains how Simulator Solutions works closely with EMS professionals to refine products, ensuring they reflect real operational needs. Innovations like ambulance simulators with pneumatic movement systems, rollover simulators for extraction training, and an upcoming helicopter simulator demonstrate the company's commitment to realism and continuous improvement. As EMS agencies face increasing demands and risks, this episode underscores how immersive simulation training helps providers build confidence, sharpen skills, and ultimately deliver safer patient care — before lives are on the line.

Hello and welcome to this best of edition of the Civic Media Spotlight! We kick things off with Mornings with Pat Krietlow. Pat talks with Joe Zepecki and Melissa Baldauff about where the last year has taken them personally and politically, using Wisconsin as the lens. The conversation looks at what worked, what didn't, and how Democrats might realistically position themselves to take full control of state government in 2026. Up next, John and Gordy welcome Mike McCabe for a deep dive into the growing crisis facing Wisconsin farmers. McCabe connects immigration policy, the Egg Bill, and labor shortages to an alarming rise in farm bankruptcies, painting a picture of how policy decisions are hitting rural communities hard.

The Janesville-born artist talks about expanding her career in Nashville, collaborating with high-level musicians, and putting a new spin on a familiar Christmas favorite. Mike McCabe joins John and Gordy for another conversation to unpack his latest Substack piece, “Looking the Wrong Way.” He explains how political leaders often focus on the wrong targets, avoiding the deeper issues that actually need attention.

An EMS medic, an MVA, a STEMI, a stroke—and everyone's still playing “telephone” with the hospital. In this episode of EMS World Podcasts, host Mike McCabe sits down with Mitch Scott, Solutions Architect at General Devices, to tackle one of EMS's biggest headaches: communication and coordination with the emergency department and specialty teams. Scott breaks down how GD's e-Bridge platform lets crews securely send photos, EKGs, videos, and patient data straight from the field to the ED, cath lab, stroke team, transfer centers, and more—all in one HIPAA-compliant app that never stores images on personal devices. They dig into real-world pain points: long wall times, “we never got your call,” lack of accountability, rural agencies with hour-long transports, and busy EDs juggling multiple priorities. You'll hear how features like GPS tracking, acknowledgement alerts, and detailed timestamps create a defensible QA/QI trail and give everyone—from medics to cardiologists—a shared, real-time view of the patient before they hit the door. If you've ever felt unheard on the radio or wished you could “show, not tell” your next handoff, this episode is for you.  

Running an EMS operation on a large scale demands great responsibilities—for both the community you serve as well as the personnel that deliver that service. Mike McCabe sits down with David Basnak, president and executive director of EmergyCare, the largest EMS and medical transport provider in northwest Pennsylvania, to learn more about his priorities in the areas of career development, quality improvement, staff safety and state-of-the-art equipment. Sponsored by Medix Specialty Vehicles.

First up this hour, Earl shares the story of the upcoming annual Special Needs Prom coming up at Washington High School on the Earl Ingram Show. The event is one of the most anticipated events of the year. This year, they are turning the cafeteria into a stunning Emerald City. In its 22nd year, this beloved occasion promotes inclusion and provides a catered dinner, elegant attire, and an evening filled with unforgettable happiness for students with special needs. After that, John and Gordy in the Morning welcome back Mike McCabe to talk with the show about Byron Kilbourn, a Wisconsin politician from the 1800s, and the parallels between him and  Elon Musk with corruption and money in politics. Next, UpNorthNews Radio with Pat Kreitlow talks rural healthcare. Even as more rural hospitals close and corporate medicine shrinks its local footprints, a group in the Chippewa Valley believes the time has come to return to a hospital model based on local, nonprofit, independent ownership. If they succeed in replacing hospitals that closed last year in Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls, will it be a blueprint for restoring healthcare options around the rest of the state? And last but not least, Dan Shafer joins the Maggie Daun Show to discuss the breaking news that Ben Wikler will not be re-running for WI Democrats chair. Dan provides some background on Wikler and discusses possible names that could run for the position.

With sharp insights and a dash of hot takes, they paint a picture of a cloud security ecosystem at a pivotal turning point

We cover a lot of politics on Civic Media, but we all need a break from the daily grind and some folks find that in a book club. Author Laura Bird is back on UpNorthNews Radio and instead of recommending books, she's telling us all about how to find a good book club or how to create one that's just right for you and your friends. The, Maino & the Mayor is joined by Will Kocken from H.O.O.A.H, WI, to discuss what you can do this week: Invest in Veterans Week.

To begin this hour of Civic Media Spotlight, we take the beginning of a conversation with former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn on the Maggie Daun Show. Harry joined Maggie this week in-studio to discuss the recently pardoned J6 felons and the other craziness going on during the first week of President Donald Trump's second term. Then, on a Wednesday edition of the Todd Allbaugh Show, Todd visits from Pat Kreitlow of UpNorthNews Radio and Trygve Olson of The Lincoln Project! On April 1st, Wisconsin will vote to elect a new state supreme court justice. Every day, we discover new reasons why conservative candidate Brad Schimel is completely unfit to serve our state. At a Republican community event last year, Schimel was caught on a mic calling for another “bloody revolution” to get American freedom back from “the socialists.” Then, on UpNorthNews Radio this week, Pat discussed how some Wisconsin legislators are considering a new way to hide from taxpayers the true cost of the programs that give out taxpayer dollars for vouchers to private, often religious schools. He spoke to Chris Thiel, legislative policy specialist for Milwaukee Public Schools, about this new shell game that would force every Wisconsin taxpayer to fund two parallel school systems in the state. Wrapping up this hour with a segment from the John & Gordy Show, the guys welcomed back Mike McCabe and the three spend some time on the topic of oligarchy. They also share how we need not despair right now, and that we can look to the future and plan to make some real advances as a society.

Mike McCabe speaks in the Bexhill venue about diversity in the church.

We've visited with Mike McCabe several times in the past 15 years, about his work with the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign, about the need for real people in government, and relative to his run for Wisconsin governor. Today we have Mike here for something different, a book of fiction called Miracles Along County Q.

It was 80 years ago this week that the Battle of The Bulge took place in WWII, and 100-year-old veteran Jack Kraszewski of Pulaski joined Maino & The Mayor and shared memories of that very day. Not only did he serve our country, but he also came back and became a cheesemaker and later a brewer of Schlitz beer in Milwaukee. A wonderful gentleman that we are honored to have met. Then, on the Dom Salvia Show, Dom and cohost of the day Earl Ingram address the looming government shutdown and who is casting its shadow: Elon Musk. No one elected Musk, but people DID elect their legislators, who are now being overtly threatened by Trump and Musk. On the John & Gordy Show, the guys are joined by Mike McCabe to talk about his latest digital piece on the parallels between 1930's Bank Robbers and Luigi Mangione as folk heroes in the American psyche. Last but not least, Todd Allbaugh Show has been following the closure of two-year UW campuses since the canary first stopped singing, and the saga is unfortunately far from over. A new article from WORT details that the Board of Regents spent a staggering $51 million on consultants over the last four years- over THREE TIMES the budget deficit in that same period that led to catastrophic layoffs at UW Oshkosh. We know the Republicans are behind this, but where are the Democrats? They aren't exactly trying to stop it.

To begin this week's Civic Media Spotlight, Jane, Greg and Calvin welcome Matt Randolph aka Mr. Global to the show. He has over 30 years experience in the oil and gas industry.

Sometimes in EMS, we overlook the importance of a safe and reliable vehicle to transport ourselves and our patients. The ambulance serves as a fast-track transport device, trauma bay, and code room all under one roof and on top of four wheels. Deciding how to outfit your fleet can be a daunting process with significant consequences to patient care and staff performance—not to mention how your service is perceived by the public. In this episode sponsored by Medix, Mike McCabe sits down with two seasoned EMS leaders—John Smith, CEO of UT Health East Texas EMS, based in Tyler, TX, and Clay Hobbs, COO of Pafford Medical Services, with EMS operations across multiple states and the U.S. Virgin Islands—to discuss models, designs, and features desired by today's prehospital personnel and the communities they serve.

And if you've ever heard someone say, “All skis are great in pow,” well, they're here to blow up that notion. So what design elements work best in deep snow? What about low-angle terrain vs. steeper terrain? How wide is too wide? Is a softer flex pattern better? They discuss all of this and more.TOPICS & TIMES What did you learn in Alaska?
