The hosts

Three paramedics, three time zones.

ParaPodcast began as late-night voice notes between three paramedics scattered across the globe. Elias in Dubai, Malusi in Adelaide, Thulani in Doha — all asking the same questions about their profession.

We hit record. Today the show reaches paramedics across continents — students, educators, frontline crews, and the researchers shaping where the profession goes next.
