5 stars, naturally.
I have been listening to Opposing Bases since the beginning (at 1x speed) and can say that it is the most informative and entertaining podcast you’ll find in the National Airspace System. OB’s hosts, codenamed AG and RH, answer our questions about Air Traffic Control, flying, procedures, incidents, confusing situations, and more. You name a subject in aviation, you can either find an episode where it was discussed or ask yourself! Be the change you want to see in the world! Some suggestions on where to start: - Episode 1. RH will tell you to start later than this because of some audio reasons that he’s already fixed. So why not get a chuckle as our hosts say they can cover all of air traffic in 10 episodes while you watch the Penguin Saga unfold from the beginning. Priceless. - Obstacle Departures (Two Bonus Episodes near OB160) Even if you don’t fly in the mountains or aren’t an instrument pilot (try both, it’s fun!), the breakdown into these sometimes complicated procedures is great knowledge to have. - Lost Comms (OB278) A scenario based (the FAA loves those) dive into lost communications in IMC conditions. I won’t spoil it, you’ll have to listen for yourself. A quick plug for Patreon and the live chat room too. The live show is a fantastic time where we occasionally play a game that I can’t name or the Rules Committee will yell at me.

Great podcast for pilots that want to learn about how ATC works. AG and RJ are both controllers and pilots, and provide great insights on the inner workings of ATC. As a pilot, I have learned a lot that helps in my flying. Highly recommended!

As a Private Pilot it’s very nice to get the views and opinions of Air Traffic Controllers. RH and AG have great tips on helping them out as controllers that ultimately help us out as pilots!
