Society & Culture


Brett Ketchum is a Houston native and Austin transplant who has served our community as a professional firefighter for over 12 years. On his days off from the fire station, Brett runs a small business called Fireman Dryerman, teaches CPR and first aid classes, and spends time around Austin with his wife and two sons. Brett and I talked about what drove him to become a firefighter after graduating with a psychology degree from UT, the arduous application and training process all firefighters go through, and some lesser known tips for keeping your family safe from house fires. I definitely learned a few things and I’m sure you will too.   FAVORITE AUSTIN ACTIVITIES Zilker Zephyr Lady Bird Lake   FAVORITE AUSTIN RESTAURANTS: Uchi Uchiko Foreign & Domestic Suerte La Condesa Tomo   WHERE TO FIND US   Guest, Brett Ketchum Web: http://firemandryerman.com/ Email: brett@firemandryerman.com Facebook: @firemandryerman   Host, Adrienne Huebner Instagram: @thisisaustinpodcast & @adrienneinaustin Twitter: @adrienne Facebook: @thisisaustinpodcast Email: thisisaustinpodcast@gmail.com Web: www.thisisaustinpodcast.com   Music, SWELLS Web: https://swellstheband.com/ Twitter: @swellstheband Instagram: @swellstheband Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2B6lIM1   Editor/Savior, Kevin Chin Web: https://www.northshoremediaproductions.com/ Facebook: @northshoremediaproductions
