Our first shows were nervous times for us. Now, we just take our laptops to the local bars and drink heavily…then we get on the air to bring you some fire service topics! Little did we know that we would be jet setting across the Nation (or half of it anyways), going to great cities, and meeting so many great people! Baltimore, Indianapolis, Baltimore again because we couldn’t get enough, Chicago, and Emmitsburg…we had a blast at all of them. Along with our show, we also produce 3 other shows. In the past year, we have hosted or produced over 80 podcasts. That isn’t too bad is it? We probably recorded several hundred hours of audio and only let the F bomb slip by once! | 12/31/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
A must listen for any Firefighter
Any Firefighter must listen to this. It helps provide a forum for firefighters to talk about the stresses, loves, and fears for the job. It also is a great place to meet like minded people, and share in their expierences and stories. Somewhere where you can learn more to become a better firefighter.
Not Your Daddy's Firefighter Podcast !!!
Firefighter Netcast is not your Daddy's podcast. It's a refreshing change from what we've had to deal with before- the monotonous monologue of one guy in a basement talking about way too obvious stuff.
Listening to these guys is like sitting around the firehouse kitchen table or day room with a cup of coffee!
They get the best guests like Billy Goldfeder from The Secret List and Ron Sarnicki from National Fallen Firefighters and many more. They were live at FDIC and will be at other conventions this summer. I know because I regularly download the shows and play them while I work out at the station.
A tip of the helmet to these guys, they are the future of firefighter programming on the internet!
Nothing short of outSTANDING
John, Rhett, Tiger, Art, and Chris bring to the internet (and iTunes) a view of the Fire Service that matches no other. Whether it's Christopher Naum and his talks about the fireground and command to Art bringing a voice of common sense to things to John and Rhett just opening the doors, each and every show is not only entertaining, but very informative.
