I need to thank Nicole Pollnow for taking the co-host reins while we were at the WEMSA conference in Milwaukee, WI back in February.

I definitely want to thank Aladtec’s EMSManager for being our sponsor for the last few months. You can get your FREE trial of this incredible software at emsmanger.net and let them know that 1-Union-801: The Webcast sent you!

Most of all, I want to thank my girlfriend, Dee Elmore, for being by my side for the last year, whether she was sitting “eight feet to my right, your left if you’re playing along at home”, laying behind me in bed, or listening from her desk or on the phone while I was out on a remote. She’s definitely the best “silent co-host and call screener” that a guy could have. I love you, Dee.



Blurring Lines Between BLS and ALS


Tonight we had Mike Ward and Chris Kaiser on talking with John & Dee about the blurring lines between BLS and ALS, starting with Mike’s post on Firegeezer, his EMS1.com article, Chris’ post on Life Under The Lights, and Peter Canning’s post on Street Watch

We were joined by Kevin Reiter, Brandon Oto, & Russell Stein to talk more about the blurring line and what “cookies” the some BLS providers would like to receive. We also had Jim Hoffman from EMS Office Hours keeping the chat room going.

Do You Know


Do you know when we started using THIS PARTICULAR SONG as our opening music?

Answer during our anniversary show on 25 May.



Still wondering who to ask…


Our 1st Anniversary show is coming up in 4 weeks (coincidentally, at the end of EMS Week). I still don’t know who to ask to be a guest on our show that night.

(This song came out the DAY BEFORE we first came on)



We even work holidays…


Here’s our actual Christmas show. It featured Ryan Pennington from viewsfromthejumpseat.com

I’m glad we’ve improved that much over the year!



Wife’s Point of View 27 Apr 13


Tonight we had Lori Mercer from Firefighter Wife talking with us about the fire service from the spouse/significant other standpoint.

Her site is designed for wives and girlfriends (or husbands and boyfriends) of firefighters and provides a support network for those that understand what we go through–and understand our language
