Well, that was just the beginning! Episodes for Round 2 are scheduled to be recorded in October and that means more listening fun for you, and more donuts and shenanigans for us!

2021-September -17
The Goal was simple enough. Create an episodic podcast made by first responders, for first responders and try to reach as many of our brothers and sisters as possible in a way that helped bring positivity to our chosen profession. Our expectations were humble in that we whole heartedly believed that we would be downloaded by our family and maybe a friend or two.
Today we celebrate 1000 downloads!
We’re stunned, shocked and incredibly grateful for the opportunity to reach out and accept so many listeners to our Unreasonable Grounds Podcast family!
