Kari adds over 20 years as a firefighter, advanced practice paramedic, and educator, along with a practical, honest perspective that keeps every conversation grounded. Together, they combine experience, humor, differing viewpoints, and a shared passion for the profession to create a space where no topic is off limits.\nIn this premiere episode, you'll hear the story behind the return of Second Shift, what you can expect from future episodes, and why audience participation is at the heart of everything we do.\n\nThis week's lineup includes:\nWhy Second Shift is back and where we're headed.\nCrew Poll: What piece of EMS equipment can make even the most experienced provider look incompetent?\nCurrent Events: The Elijah McClain case and what it means for our profession.\nThis Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things: Real stories from the EMS community that will make you laugh, shake your head, or both.\nDeep Dive: Violent attacks on first responders, why they're increasing and what we can do about it.\nIntroducing Questions from the Crew, where your questions drive future episodes.\nRapid Fire Questions to get to know Eric and Kari a little better.\nTop 3–5: Our favorite books that have shaped our careers and lives.\nFinal thoughts to wrap up the shift.\nWhether you're on the truck, in the aircraft, at the station, or driving home after a long day, grab a cup of coffee, your cold snacks, or whatever your drinking and pull up a chair.
