As a career, veteran Paramedic/Firefighter, I truly believe that EMS1 & FR1 have THE BEST Podcasts and Apps. Whether you're looking for interesting and sometimes amazing industry news, educational and training information including "tips and tricks" info, new product information and reviews, or just some good ole' public safety humor; They've got that and TONS and TONS MORE!! Seriously, there's just SO much great stuff discussed in the podcasts (and in the apps) that there's NO WAY I could ever mention everything.
Also I want everyone to know there IS something here for EVERYBODY; whether you're that new EMT student, Or the Probie FF still in rookie school, OR that twenty plus year veteran Paramedic/Firefighter, Or a member of the brass, Maybe a Director/Chief, Or even an Educator/Instructor, ETC...I'm promising you that you WILL learn something if you want to.
BTW, if you do not already have the EMS1 app AND the FR1 (FireRescue1) app, you NEED TO DOWNLOAD (free) THEM BOTH NOW!! If you're EMS only, or FIRE only, still get both because the FR1 app contains A LOT of Rescue material that transfers over to EMS, and the EMS1 app contains SO much info that will transfer over to the FF and with most FD's nowadays being first due to medical calls, it's self explanatory; not to mention the EMS1 app contains a lot of rescue and FF rehab information.
If you've actually read all this I really appreciate it because, I'm very passionate about these apps and podcasts due to the simple facts that they represent the best in our industry, and I want everyone to get as much out of them as I have.
God Bless All Our Brethren,
God Bless The USA, and

Great podcast. Kelly and Chris do a great job discussing and opining on EMS news, relating relevant industry issues, and talking to notable people in the field. Their banter is enough to keep the show light, while also still delving into important and topical issues. The podcast is just what I was looking for when trying to hunt for EMS shows.
I've caught up on a couple years of shows in a few weeks, and don't get bored rolling one show right into the other.
One thing I'd be interested in hearing is occasional educational/instructional discussion on EMS topics...but that's just a personal opinion.
Great show. These guys are legends in the field, especially Kelly! (Apologies to Chris, but I can't resist handing the fodder to Kelly).
