    Episode 304: Steve Tafoya
    Oct 5 2025
    Episode 304: Welcome back to Medic2Medic. After a break, the podcast is back to share the stories of EMS and more. This week on Medic2Medic, I sit down with Steve Tafoya, a critical care paramedic and healthcare operations leader with over 25 years of EMS experience. Steve has worked at every level of the profession — from the back of an ambulance to the executive suite, and even as Nevada’s State EMS Program Manager, overseeing licensure, investigations, and standards for more than 60 agencies.

  • Bonus Episode: Randolph Mantooth

    Bonus Episode: Randolph Mantooth
    Sep 30 2025
    As I dust off the mic and line up new guests for the long-awaited reboot of Medic2Medic, I thought it’d be fun to share a little “blast from the past” to get us warmed up.

    This bonus episode features Randolph Mantooth—yes, that Randolph Mantooth—who continues to hold the crown as my most-listened-to guest of all time. This conversation was Episode 30, back in the days when the podcast had no theme music, and I had plenty of nerves (you’ll probably hear them sneaking through). Spoiler: Randy carried me through like the pro he is.
    Enjoy this classic episode while we get ready for fresh stories, new voices, and the next chapter of Medic2Medic. The nerves may be gone now… but sadly, the theme music still isn’t here.

    Special Edition of Medic2Medic Podcast: A Conversation with Jeff Hammerstein
    Jun 29 2025
    After 300 episodes, Medic2Medic took a pause. But sometimes, the mic calls you back—and this one was worth it.

    Episode 301: I’m joined by my former colleague Jeffrey S. Hammerstein, paramedic and author of the new memoir Hi, I’m a Paramedic. We talk first calls, fear, vulnerability, and what it really means to “belong” in EMS.

    It’s raw, real, and a reminder of why we do what we do.
    Whether you're a field medic, EMS leader, or fan of behind-the-scenes public safety stories, this one brings heart, history, and perspective.
