    Episode 331: Into The Unknown with Tom Putnam and Baxter Larmon
    Jun 9 2026
    In this special edition of the Medic2Medic Podcast, Steve sits down with filmmaker Tom Putnam and EMS pioneer Baxter Larmon to discuss their powerful new documentary, Into the Unknown.

    The film follows five diverse paramedic teams from across the United States, offering an unfiltered look at the realities of EMS from life-saving victories and personal sacrifice to mental health challenges, violence, loss, and resilience. Through the experiences of a Gulf War veteran, Columbine survivors, rural volunteers, night-shift partners, and a helicopter rescue crew, Into the Unknown captures the human side of emergency medical services in a way rarely seen on screen.

    Steve, Tom, and Dr. Larmon discuss the inspiration behind the documentary, the challenges of telling authentic EMS stories, and what they learned while embedded with providers facing some of the most difficult situations imaginable. The conversation also explores the emotional toll of the profession, the importance of public understanding, and why paramedics' stories deserve to be told.

    This episode is a compelling look at the people behind the uniform and the courage required to step into the unknown every day.
