What's Your Emergency?

Jason Hoschauer and Justin Schorr are a police officer and a Paramedic, two good friends of mine and of the show. Together, they run the What’s Your Emergency podcast, where they mostly talk about professional aspects of being a member of EMS.

From time to time, though, they also deal with safety issues more accessible to the general public. I don’t think it’s possible to overstate how valuable the opinions of two people with their credentials are when it comes to keeping our families safe. Here’s a list of the episodes every parent should listen to:

  • The Internet of Things with Greg Kaminski - has some valuable insights about cybersecurity, and holes in yours you didn’t know existed.

  • Our DUI Experience - as if you needed more reasons to not drink or drug when you drive. See also texting.

  • The Three Disciplines at the Movies - where the guys spend time dispelling certain myths about EMS that TV and the movies keep.

  • The Social Dilemma - with insights and tips about social media, what it does to our brains, and how to keep our families on point in that environment.

  • Board Game Mashup - a delightfully nerdy discussion of one of the best things we can do with our kids.

  • Kids These Days - discussing the behavior, safety, and challenges of modern children from the perspective of police and rescue.

  • What About Dogs? - the best things to do about our beloved pets when things go sideways.

You should also consider the episode where they had me on to talk about the show and other related things. I also had each of them on the show, so if you haven’t yet you should listen to both of those:
