MIAMI | March 3, 2026 — First Due today announced the launch of TableTalk, a new podcast dedicated to candid conversations with fire service leaders and innovators on operations, data and technology, and culture.
Hosted by nationally recognized fire service leader, author, and speaker Eddie Buchanan, TableTalk creates a platform for open dialogue about the challenges and decisions shaping the future of public safety. A retired Assistant Chief with decades of leadership and operational experience, Buchanan brings practical insight and real-world perspective to each discussion.
The podcast is designed to highlight the voices of industry leaders who are navigating increasing operational complexity, evolving data expectations, advancing technology, and cultural change within their organizations. Each episode focuses on real experiences, lessons learned, and forward-looking ideas that agencies can apply in their own communities.
“Throughout my career, some of the most valuable lessons came from honest conversations with other leaders,” said Eddie Buchanan, host of TableTalk. “This podcast is about creating that same space for the fire service. We want to talk openly about what is working, what is changing, and how we can continue to strengthen our profession together.”
