541 - The Freedom House Ambulance Service
Description
This week we hear the incredible story of some of the earliest paramedics, and the battle they faced in order to just do their jobs.
This is a comedy/history podcast, the report begins at approximately 06:07 (though as always, we go off on tangents throughout the report).

Do Go On acknowledges the traditional owners of the land we record on, the Wurundjeri people, in the Kulin nation. We pay our respects to elders, past and present.
