Two South Wales firefighters, Geraint Roberts and Matt Norman, sit down for a raw, unfiltered conversation on what it really means to live with the mental toll of frontline duty.
From tragic scenes that never leave their minds, to the dark humour that helps them cope, this episode shines a light on the often-unspoken reality of being a firefighter in the UK.
🚒 Topics covered:
The impact of witnessing trauma firsthand
Emotional numbness & disconnect in the aftermath
Coping with stress as men in a "tough" culture
The power (and risk) of dark humour
What support should look like — and what’s still missing
This episode is for anyone in the fire service, emergency response, or anyone who's felt the weight of trauma and the silence that often follows.
