After the Call
First responders are trained to run toward danger, protect our communities, and carry the weight of trauma most people will never see. But what happens after the call? After watch foundation is ran entirely by first responders for first responders to get you the support you need.
After the Call, the podcast dedicated to the stories and struggles behind the badge, the turnout gear, and the uniform..
Each week, we’ll bring you powerful conversations with first responders, mental health professionals, and advocates who are breaking the stigma, sharing their journeys, and offering real solutions. We’ll talk about PTSD, resilience, family impact, and the resources that can make a difference.
Because the job doesn’t just leave scars on the body — it affects the mind, the heart, and the people who serve alongside us. And no one should have to carry that burden alone.
This is After the Call — where you’ll find Strength through resilience.

This week on After The Call, the OG crew is back and absolutely unfiltered.
Join Patrick, Veronica, Tori, and Josh as they dive headfirst into the current events shaking the first responder community — including the tragic helicopter crash that claimed the lives of two DPS troopers. It’s real talk about real loss, the weight the job carries, and the ripple effects these incidents have across the badge family.
But because this is After Watch… it doesn’t stay serious for long.
Expect sharp takes, inappropriate timing, uncomfortable laughter, and at least three moments where someone should’ve said, “maybe don’t.” The crew balances honoring the fallen with the dark humor that first responders use to survive the job — and yes, there’s a solid chance this episode gets us canceled.
Grief, gallows humor, and absolutely no HR department in sight.
You’ve been warned.
