The public sees the response. They rarely see what firefighters carry home. UNSEEN EXPOSURES opens the conversation around sleep, nutrition, cancer, PTSD, mental health, family, and the work being done to change the future of firefighter wellness.
The fire service knows pieces of this story.
The public sees almost none of it.
Unseen Exposures is about what firefighters take with them off the job: physically, mentally, emotionally, and culturally.
Season 1 is presented in partnership with the documentary SPOKE, but the podcast goes beyond the film. It opens the conversation wider, bringing in firefighters, families, doctors, researchers, advocates, and people working to change the narrative around firefighter health and wellness.
"SPOKE lit the fire. UNSEEN EXPOSURES keeps it burning."
Season 1 of the podcast is presented in partnership with the documentary SPOKE. The film and the podcast share a mission: to make the invisible costs of this profession impossible to ignore.

Unseen Exposures reaches a community that is hard to access and quick to recognize the right voices. Below is who's listening, how a partnership with the film expands reach, and the mission your support stands behind.
To humanize the firefighting profession, break the silence around its hidden costs, and build a culture where surviving the job is as important as doing it.
Unseen Exposures speaks to the fire service and the people around it. Four core listener profiles shape the audience.
Career and volunteer firefighters, EMS, and rescue personnel - on shift, off shift, and everywhere in between. They listen because the show says out loud what the kitchen table doesn't.
Spouses, partners, parents, and kids who carry the job alongside the firefighter. An engaged, loyal household audience that listens together.
Chiefs, company officers, union leadership, and department wellness staff - decision-makers shaping policy on firefighter health and culture.
Doctors, researchers, mental health professionals, and advocates working on first-responder health and wellness - and listeners drawn to the human story.
A sponsorship of Unseen Exposures runs alongside the documentary SPOKE - including its festival circuit and theatrical window. Partnership puts a sponsor in both conversations at once.
