Customer Reviews
Very educational and helpful
This is hands down one of my favorite podcasts. As a newer EMT, I’ve found it super helpful for learning strategies for how to approach calls or tricky dynamics with patients, as well as reinforcing and building on top of clinical knowledge. I’ve used much of the advice on actual calls, and they come in really handy! Whether you’re an EMT, paramedic, or outside of EMS, this is a great way to learn, and I’m super glad to have found this!
Learning and laughs
I’ve been listening since I first started in EMS and have gleaned so much knowledge from these guys. Episodes are funny and lighthearted while still filled with tons of valuable information that I have used in the field. Here’s to hoping they carry me through paramedic school 🤞🏽
Educational entertainment at it’s finest
Learned a lot from these guys. They present information in a digestible, entertaining way. For those who grow irritable about tangents and swearing, you don’t sound like fun people to be around. There’s plenty of dry, informative, NPR style podcasts out there I’m sure you would love. What’s the point of putting a product out there that you don’t enjoy making? The way these guys present remind me of every great provider I’ve gotten to ride with. Thanks for having fun with it guys.
