{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Call To Dispatch","slug":"calltodispatch","podcastDescription":"

This is a storytelling podcast that takes you behind the sirens and into the lives of those who serve.

Through raw, honest conversations, host Dave sits down with current and former emergency service workers as they share the calls that changed them, the moments that made them, and the lessons they carry long after the shift ends. These are stories about courage, trauma, humour, and humanity on the front lines.

From life-or-death moments to the quiet lessons learned along the way, Call To Dispatch reveals what it truly means to answer the call — and the cost of carrying those experiences home.

Real people. Real service. Real stories.
