A decent episode but the presenter seemed to waffle and wanted to dictate not interview and listen to the guests. They should have had a lot more airtime due to their vast experience
Excellent listen, interesting and informative. In depth and varied content. Highly recommend

The information within the podcast overrides this issue however it does get annoying as it takes away fro... more
This podcast is perfect whether you want in-depth knowledge on most firefighting subjects of just some light hearted entertainment. I’d highly recommend the debriefs as it’s there’s a lot to be learnt from the harsh realities of being a firefighter. Passionate, funny and all round good guys describes not just Pete, but all the guests he has on!
I’m an aspiring firefighter and since finding the podcast I’ve not been able to stop listening and my desire for the job has increased 10 fold. Brilliantly open and honest and incredibly informative.
