Right Front Seat Podcast

Hit play and ride along as we delve into the risks and rewards of a life of service.


Everyone wants to know what's happening in the world, but not everyone has the time to sit down and read through a bunch of articles, so the Right Front Seat is here for you to learn about the undeniable impact of devoting yourself to a cause greater than oneself while covering the hard topics that others don’t want to go near. 

Join veteran firefighters Anthony ‘Tony’ Chapman and Shawn Fernandes as they cover real stories from their view in the Right Front Seat. Giving you bi-weekly conversations from their journeys in the right front seat, these work pals might not be experts, and they might not always agree, but they are shining a light on the real side of a life in service.
