    The content and creators are excellent but I find the constant background music very very distracting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 40: Flight Talk - Safety, Declines, and the Truth in the Sky
Q: What reasons do you often hear for flight declines due to weather?
The main reasons for declines often relate to pilot assessments regarding visibility and weather systems that could potentially cause unsafe flying conditions.
Episode 30: Open Mic— Listener Q&A
Q: Do you think accelerated paramedic programs are effective or risky?
I think they are risky. It is already a jam-packed program, and making it shorter would be dangerous.
Episode 30: Open Mic— Listener Q&A
Q: What made you decide to get into the medical field?
I wanted to do something that made an impact, and after witnessing an emergency, I decided I wanted to help people with my own hands.
Episode 19: Reoccurring Nightmares - The Calls That Won’t Quit
Q: Is there a call you have, like you've already done, that you wish you had more frequently?
Yes, actually, I just want one STEMI. I just want to know that I can know what it is.
Episode 19: Reoccurring Nightmares - The Calls That Won’t Quit
Q: What would you tell somebody who maybe had a rough OB call?
You are really truly doing the best you can with what you have. Not only do you go from one patient to two patients, but then you have two very critically ill patients.
