EMS on AIR Podcast
EMS on AIR is an education and entertainment podcast designed to keep healthcare providers safe, informed, and prepared. The EMS on AIR Podcast was originally launched in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a way to communicate efficiently and directly with EMS personnel. Now, we’ve started branching out to all things healthcare but still tailored with the national EMS audience in mind. This podcast has begun to transform into a bridge between subject matter experts, the most recent data, and the EMS providers who make a difference every day in the field.
The EMS on AIR Podcast is hosted by Geoff Lassers and Dr. Robert Dunne.
Geoff Lassers began his career as a first responder in 2002. Since then, he has earned a depth of experience as a professional firefighter, paramedic, EMS instructor, and in the hospital as an ED tech. Geoff has been a professional firefighter/paramedic and EMS instructor with the West Bloomfield Fire Department since 2004. In 2020, the EMS on AIR Podcast was launched to provide up-to-date information to the local, state, and national EMS community regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as express best practices. Since then, the EMS on AIR Podcast has expanded to all topics related to prehospital care.
Robert Dunne, M.D., FACEP, FAEMS, is an Emergency Medicine and EMS physician located in Detroit, Michigan. Dr. Dunne is currently the EMS Medical Director of the Detroit Fire Department, as well as a professor of Emergency Medicine at Wayne State University, and directs the School of Medicine’s pre-hospital programming, including Emergency Medical Services, Preparedness, EMS Research and more. He is also program director of the Emergency Medical Services fellowship. Additionally, Dr. Dunne is the elected medical director of the Detroit East Medical Control Authority, the local version of the state-designated entity that supervises all pre-hospital care in Detroit and eastern Wayne County.

S2:E29 - "I can’t believe it has already been one year - A brief overview of the EMS on AIR Podcast and what we have planned for the future." Recorded March 21, 2021
This month marks the one-year anniversary of the EMS on AIR Podcast! During this brief episode, we reflect on what we’ve achieved in our first year, as well as what we have planned for the near future. We’re currently in season 2, which kicked off in October of 2020 with a primary focus on stroke, although we met some new friends along the way that are helping EMS prevent infant sleep related deaths.
Season 2 will return in mid-April and run until June 2021 and we have at least another five to ten episodes lined up. This includes interviews with experts from the American Stroke Association, Biospatial, CarterKits.com and other cool and interesting people and organizations. In addition, we will also bring you content focused on the emotional, mental and physical well-being of first responders. And, of course, we will continue to give you COVID-19 and vaccine updates, as needed.
