iRescueRadio 034: New Format: The Good, the Bad and the Training

During a summer hiatus of about three weeks, we decided it was time to retool the show.  What we had, while good, was starting to get into nothing but politics, without rescue or health included.  I, as the producer, recommended finding the last week’s health and medical press releases.  It would have been this week in health.  That format, however, has been shelved for now, as we wanted to try something different.  Instead, they are going to look at a positive comment, a negative comment and then a good question, training or otherwise, from the last week that a lot of people would like to know the answer to.

It makes for a shorter episode of about 22 minutes.
