Ryan takes us through his journey, from an early fascination with canines, to working alongside his now-retired live find partner, Jake, and ultimately stepping into his current role as Search Team Manager for IN-TF1. In this episode, Ryan shares stories of memorable deployments, reflects on how the world of search and rescue canines has evolved over the years, and even gives us a behind-the-scenes look at his recent flight with the Air Force Thunderbirds. It was an honor to have Ryan join us in the studio, and we’re confident you’ll enjoy hearing his insights, experiences, and passion for the canine search and rescue community as much as we did. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/disaster-dog-podcast-7515370/episodes/disaster-dog-podcast-episode-1-with-ryan-cusack-of-in-tf1/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/disaster-dog-podcast-7515370/disaster-dog-podcast-episode-1-with-ryan-cusack-of-in-tf1.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
