Mike and Eric are finally joined by… well… me. After a bunch of years I finally sat down in front of a microphone and polluted your ears for an hour, or so! Who am I? Guess you’ll have to listen to find out. Anyway, there is much more going on in the show. We talked about a couple real issues then dropped our top 5 list of childhood technology. So, download this episode from your favorite purveyor of podcasts, and rate and review so your friends can find us, too.

Luckily the guys haven’t forgotten how to record a podcast. All you SecondShift-ers out there know the drill. “No time” excuses and a bunch of blah blah stuff like that. At least they dedicated a little time to making it worth a listen. Sitting around a hotel lobby attracts a lot of unexpected (maybe even uninvited) guests when you have recording equipment set up. Your ears are spared though because our unexpected guest is the world-class Dan Rauh! Familiar with that name? No? Well you should be...

Mike takes a few minutes to give you a quickie! Isn’t he amazing! For FREE! Don’t forget to look out for those coconuts! They are huge and can definitely put your safety at risk. There is lots of other things out there that can put your safety at risk, too. We love you guys and want you to be safe. In all seriousness, put this message in your ears and think about what Mike is telling you before you climb out on your next scene. It just might save your life.

Mike and Eric record live from the conference floor of AMTC, right from their little slice of medical heaven (their booth). Exhausted and weary from their long days and nights, the guys resort to talking about NASCAR. They must be delusional… or perhaps THEY really are in a psych ward (gotta listen to get that joke). Anyway, you won’t want to miss this episode so download, rate, review and subscribe. Remember that your friends aren’t nearly as intelligent as you so if you want to help your podca...

Mike Verkest didn't want y'all to miss this episode that was recently delivered from the "other podcast" we produce around here. He even made an awesome introduction to it just to let you know what was up. Only problem is... he got cut. It's all about disk space in the virtual world, bro! We still love us some Verkest. Anyway, THIS PODCAST has got Eric Bauer and Brandon Miesemer on the convention floor of AMTC talking about EMSPOCUS. What in the world is EMSPOCUS? Download and find out! (You kne...

Up to no good as usual, the guys have managed to sneak out of a review class in Portland, Oregon to try out their new tech. Can you imagine? Like 2 hogs looking at a wrist watch. In any case, take a break from all that studying and join us for some fun! I promise your level of intelligence won't be harmed too bad. (Unless you listen twice, which can in fact cause brain damage - not responsible for brain damage caused by the listening to of this podcast.) Download, rate, and especially review so ...

Southern sunshine rises over the deep south as the boys talk about their trip to the World EMS Expo in New Orleans with the one, and only Mr. Tater. If you miss this episode, you'll probably wake up with purple hair in the morning. You wouldn't want that, right? Download, rate, subscribe and tell your friends (unless you want them to wake up with purple hair... and then they would arguably not be your friend anyway).

RALLY THE SENATE! Dr. Rita Sahni is BAAAAACK with the boys on the show with some great news and another desperate plea for help in the fight for EMS right to work in the way we know it now. They also talk about some stuff that you will absolutely love. What do they talk about? If I tell you what they talk about, you won’t want to listen. Might me something profound. Could be crap, too I guess. You gotta download, pass it around, beg your friends to download, listen, e-mail your senator, and don’...

In this action-packed episode of SecondShift, the guys welcome Kyle Aitken to the show… and then proceed to contribute to his delinquency. You won’t believe some of the subjects the guys talk about.

We got a whole lot of funny Shift for you to listen to this week! The guys bring back the 90's (for better, or worse), and debate the finer points of all things EMS, community paramedics, air medical, and even some light banter about nurses. Wether you are on a long transport, or burning the midnight oil in the emergency room download this episode, and subscribe to SecondShift. Why? Because it's funny. And possibly educational. Mostly funny, though. Sort of like if a really hot chick was educati...

In this episode of SecondShift the boys run to the border! Well they don't actually go anywhere. They just put in a call to our good friend Ryan Wyatt who is watching "the fence" from his cabana. You won't want to miss hearing about what he does with ultrasound probes! We also hear from Dr. Ritu Sahni, and then take a stroll back to the 80's for another top 5 countdown with the boys. Don't forget to laugh at the guys along the way! Share, download, and please subscribe and rate our show! It keep...

It's not just any day around the podcast studios... yes, it's Thursday. But it's not just any Thursday! Today is the greenest Thursday of the year! Happy Saint Patrick's Day from everybody at FlightBridgeED and the SecondShift podcast! We had that leprechaun guy from that cereal commercial (you know the one) booked as our special guest today, but his agent called us last minute to cancel. Something about not believing in podcasts? Whatever. No worries! We have an ever better guest anyway that co...

What’s up, SecondShift-ers? It’s been a couple nights since we birthed a new episode from the proverbial creative womb of the SecondShift podcast. Lucky for you this episode is classed up by our good friend, and FlightBridgeED writer, Mister Klint W. Kloepping—otherwise known as @NoDesat from the Twitter thingy. In this episode, the guys embarrass themselves with their (lack of) knowledge of gaming, and run all the way through to active violent events, some new freaky disease that likes the ladi...

This is a special edition of SecondShift… why is it special? Because I wrote that it was special. Can’t you read??? But seriously, this is sort of a special edition. The boys have invited back long-time friend of the show, Dr. Ritu Sahni to talk about something that not even I can joke about. A pillar of EMS is under attack and if you haven’t heard about it, you won’t believe what “THEY” are doing now. Join Mike, Eric and Dr. Sahni as they hit the sirens, and call each and every one of us to act...

From the entire FlightBridgeED family, we wish you a safe and happy holiday!

After we chased those ugly gremlins out of our computers and audio equipment, the guys begged (and probably even bribed) Mr. Matt Currin to come back to the show and it was even better the second time! Join Mike, Eric, and Matt for this episode of SecondShift as they talk about Matt’s story, his philosophy, and Convene Communities. Listening to this podcast could save your life! Seriously. No joke.

Tonight on the show, Mike and Eric belly up to the bar with Jeff Birrer, regional director for the Difficult Airway Course EMS. Time to wade through the swaps with alligators, Ducks, and Beavers and get schooled on some airway stuff, EMS stuff, and stuff you’ve always wanted to know (or you will have wished you would have wanted to wished to know it once you know it).

t’s episode 6 now and the guys are metaphysically... metaphorically... (whatever) cracking open a cold one with their good friend, and host of MedFlight Radio, Aaron Jennings! That’s right! THE Ohio State has been invited to hang out with a couple Ducks! Waste an hour with some of the funniest conversations, while being subconsciously programmed with industry-related news, and education. Would you kindly download this episode?

If you’re still listening to the guys then we would like to send you a special gift! We don’t have any special gifts though so how about our eternal gratitude instead? That’s the best medicine!

In this episode of SecondShift, Eric and Mike talk culture (or lack there of) and their apprehension to embrace southern culture, lightning bugs and “buggies”. Yea, there’s more content, but do you really need to know more than that? Of course the guys cover the important stuff too. Check out this episode of SecondShift.
