In our very first episode, we crack open the doors of the rig and let you ride along with us. Napoli shares the real reasons he stepped into EMS and the stories that shaped his journey, while I (Joplin) keep things grounded with some sass, myth-busting, and a spotlight on the pet peeves every EMT knows too well.

We also kick off our recurring segments:

• Pet Peeves of the Pod – the raw frustrations that come with the job (dispatch, SNFs, patients, and more).

• Trivia Question of the Day – test your EMS knowledge with a challenging question pulled from training and the field. Send your answers to [email protected] for a chance to get a shoutout in the next episode.

• Tip of the Pod – Napoli drops a quick piece of FTO-style wisdom: protect your license, not just your job.

And of course, we wrap things up with a reminder to subscribe, drop your feedback in the comments, and let us know what you want us to roast or break down next.
