“Interesting show but production is lacking. Example Episode 524, sounds like the people are speaking from the audience”

“I’m a retired police sergeant and spent 10 years supervising our department’s Homicide Unit. I could never have done my job without our wonderful dispatchers. For me they were (and are) a critical part of the team. You are truly the first, first responder. I’ve written the Behind and Beyond the...”Read full review »

“I heard about this podcast from Sword and scale. I appreciate the help 911 operators give, such an important life line sometimes ordinary people with ordinary professions overlook. I myself would not be able to do what you do everyday, i would be too emotionally attached. Thank you.”

“This is one of my regular podcasts and I love it. How ever this last episode had background music going with the person talking over it. That background music needs to go. Other than that this podcast is solid.”

“What started as a podcast with a precise focus for the reclassification of 9-1-1 Dispatchers has evidently transformed into something so much greater. Ricardo is inching ever closer to seeing his original goal succeed and is now able to broaden his podcast to the many other obstacles presented...”Read full review »

“I’m really interested in the image listening stories.
I’m not so geeked about the interviews and lots of talking.
Sound quality varies too.
I’m proud of you for starting the podcast. It’s very helpful for front line fighters.
Thank you”

“Too much chatter between the guests and the podcaster. I’d really rather you just get to the point of the podcast.
Otherwise, I enjoy it.”

“Great show. I worked as a nurse in ER for many years and understand grief, pain and stress from that angle. This showed has opened my eyes to the stress and anxiety of my colleagues from the EMS, “911” folks. I have a whole new respect for their jobs. Keep up the great work.”

“You should subscribe to this podcast. Heard about this podcast from an episode in Sword and Scale. Ricardo is funny and gives a heart to the unsung heroes.
The stories can make you laugh or cry from the dispatchers who takes your call when your having the worst day of your life.”

“I thought this podcast would be about harrowing 911 calls. Instead it is a self-absorbed, towel-slapping, lovefest between 911 dispatchers. For hours and hours we only hear about how great the dispatchers think they are and how special you need to be to get such a job. Who could possibly love...”Read full review »

“I don't work as a 9-11 operator. I just work in a manufacturing plant.
But listening to your podcast helps a lot of people.
I'm sure you know that!
I hope if I ever have to call I can stay calm and focused. Hopefully you have taught me, and others!
Thank you to all you brave people!”Read full review »

“I expected more of this after the sword and scale episode, but Ricardo just can't deliver. Bad editing of episodes bad skype audio, the tone of the podcast is so relaxed. He laughs a lot and talks about nothing for minutes! Not for me. I'll stick with the pros like Mike Boudet”Read full review »
