Use caution for penguin activity in the vicinity of your marriage
This podcast earns each of the five stars in this rating. For those of you reading this that might be center controllers, five is the number that comes after four. But I digress. I’ve been listening for over a year at this point, but in a recent moment of vulnerability, I introduced my non-pilot wife to the shenanigans of the two hosts, RH and AG. This may well be the worst decision I’ve ever made. She claims she loves the podcast for their kid-like banter and humor, and because it helps non-aviation nerds like her understand what on Earth pilots like me are talking about. It has helped her to understand the nuances of the NAS, but to my detriment, it has also let her add new phraseology to our marriage, like “use caution”, “say intentions”, and “unable”. For pilots who might be on the fence about taking up an aviation podcast, wait no more. I was once told that the AIM was a middle ground document for pilots that helped bridge the gap between the FARs and the 7110.65. The truth is that his podcast has filled in more gaps in my knowledge of what ATC expects from pilots and what pilots can expect from ATC than any FAA publication probably could. The wealth of aviation experience these two hosts bring to the weekly show is worth every dollar of a Patreon membership and I look forward to it each and every week. Please keep up the great work, gentlemen. -Patron CL

I learned about this podcast in the summer of 2018 and have binge-listened to the entire thing. As a pilot, this is a fascinating take on aviation. RH & AG are excellent hosts and the topics are always interesting.

I started with newer episodes, but have gone back to the beginning to get the full show history. I am a relatively new Pvt Pilot, and learn something new on each episode. AG and RH have a chemistry, and the personal interactions make the show entertaining as well. I plan to be a long-time...Read full review »
