221: Brandon is a 911 dispatcher
What do heart attacks, car accidents, and murder usually
have in common? Most of the time, when any of these things happen, someone
calls 911.
It’s one of the most reliable things we have – whenever
there’s any kind of emergency, here in the US, we know we can just pick up any
phone and dial 911 and get help. Even if it’s a phone that has no service.
This is an episode where I talk with someone who has an
unusual job. My guest today is Brandon, and he’s been a 911 dispatcher in
Nashville, Tennessee for 25 years. After taking emergency calls for all that
time, he’s heard just about everything. And today we’ll get the inside scoop on
what this job is really like.
Also, a content warning – one of the things discussed during
our conversation is when calls come in from people who are suicidal.
So please, enjoy my conversation with Brandon.

Listen now: Liberty Lost
In Evangelical homes across the United States, sex outside
of marriage is a sin against God. So, when Abbi becomes pregnant at 16, her
devout parents hide her away at the Liberty Godparent Home, a little-known
facility for pregnant teens on the campus of Liberty University. The Home says
it helps girls decide what comes next – whether that’s parenting their babies
or placing them for adoption. But inside the facility, the girls hear a
different message: God wants their babies to go to more “deserving” Christian
couples. Some girls will find the strength to fight back. Others will have no
choice but to give in. And some, like Abbi, will turn their grief into
resistance – and take a stand against the system before more mothers lose their
children to adoptions they never wanted.
From Wondery, host and reporter T. J. Raphael tells a
startling true story of young love, coercion, and defiance – and the dangerous
resurgence of maternity homes in post-Roe America.
