The Medic Materials Podcast isn’t your polished, button-up EMS show—and that’s the point. Hosted by Mike Turek (AEMT-P, CIC) with a rotating cast of EMTs and Paramedics, this podcast delivers unapologetically real conversations about life on the truck, in the station, and on the worst (and best) calls.
Each episode blends education, experience, and dark humor, breaking down real call reviews, clinical decision-making, leadership failures, EMS culture, and the stuff everyone talks about after the tones drop—but rarely says out loud. It’s raw, explicit, and occasionally inappropriate… while still managing to teach you something that might actually make you a better provider.
We take EMS very seriously, just not ourselves. If you’re looking for scripted lectures and sanitized opinions, this probably isn’t your podcast. But if you want honest education, hard truths, and laughs that feel a little too close to home, welcome to Medic Materials—the EMS podcast that sounds like the conversations happening in your ambulance at 3 a.m.
