It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a Penguin?

“Patron JAC from the untowered colorful pole airport just outside (but under the TRSA) of the soaring capital of America delta. I came across this podcast in December of 2022 as a low time student and have been listening ever since. The docile tones of AG and RH will quickly draw you in for more; somehow they hypnotized me into removing most of my other podcast subscriptions. Based on the early episodes I listened to, starting around 257, I was led to believe Penguins played an integral role in this Podcast from the beginning, I was bamboozled. I ignored their advice and decided to start back at episode 1 in the hunt for the genesis of the Penguins. In the hunt I crammed so many penguins on the iceberg that the “genesis of ice water chickens” penguin had slipped off the berg and was flailing in the icy water for its life (he had been on the berg so long he must have forgotten how to swim - or fly - they are technically birds, right?). I was suddenly alert when I heard AG mention penguins falling of his iceberg in episode 92. But that was it - no elaboration, no comment by RH, nothing. I was sure the next episode would have a question or feedback about the penguins… but alas, nothing. It was not until episode 198 that the Penguins reappeared on the show and we got a full explanation from AG.
A few notes:
-I don’t understand how anyone can listen in 1.5 speed. I also don’t want to rush running out of episodes to listen to -I don’t think I can go back to listening to the radio during my commute.
-The early patron horn was, well… let's just say that was the awkward teenage years. My wife overheard the horn go off several times in quick succession and immediately asked me “what the PENGUIN are you listening to?” (Highlight in BLUE? too late AG read this anyhow… Substitute penguin for any colorful word of your choosing).
-When watching a live you will be too distracted by the chat room and BINGO to actually comprehend anything they are talking about.
-I recommend watching a video of AG and RH before forming a picture of them in your head based only on their voices…. They will be significantly younger and thinner than what you picture.
In all seriousness this show has been great. It has taught me a lot, helped me improve my radio communications and not be afraid of the radio, and kept me thinking about aviation during several months long flying lapses. Keep up the great work and I hope to meet you both someday.”Read full review »

“As an instrument rated private pilot, I’m always trying to improve my ATC communications. I look forward to future content. I think it would be interesting to hear about your pet peeve’s and things that make your job easier as it relates to ATC communication with us private pilots.”
