From Tones to Together

When you hear the tones drop, you never know what’s coming next. Sometimes it’s a chest pain call at 2 a.m., sometimes it’s a cat stuck in a tree, and sometimes, it’s the first chapter of your forever story.
Welcome to Medics Unmuted! We’re Katie and Luke, two paramedics from a busy county EMS system in eastern North Carolina, and in our very first episode, we’re pulling back the curtain and telling the story behind the microphones.
Before the late-night 911 calls, before the paramedic certifications, and definitely before the podcast equipment showed up at our house, we were just two teenagers scrubbing fire trucks at our local volunteer fire departments. EMS wasn’t just something we signed up for, it was something that shaped us. And somewhere along the way, between learning how to splint broken bones and push cardiac meds, we found each other.



In this episode, “From Tones to Together,” we talk about:

• How volunteering sparked our passion for EMS
• The real experience of paramedic school (spoiler: it's a little bit caffeine, a little bit trauma bonding)
• Balancing the chaos of shift work, marriage, and everything in between
• Our favorite (and most awkward) rookie call stories
• Why we started Medics Unmuted and what you can expect from the show

If you’re looking for a podcast that’s part unfiltered EMS reality, part therapy session, and part coffee-fueled chaos, you’re in the right place.
Whether you're brand new to EMS, burnt out but still hanging on, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story—you’ll find a home here with us.
