Prepare to get hooked…
I waited way too long before I started listening to this podcast and like many others, wish I had found out about it sooner. I know it certainly would have been a huge asset during my Instrument training in 2022, but can guarantee I will take full advantage of it while working on future certificates & ratings. Many CFI and CFII listeners have noted they will be integrating this show as required listening, and I can certainly see why. The only benefit which getting a late start has provided is having a large catalog of unplayed episodes to binge during the week while also keeping current with the weekly releases. The interactive nature of the show is one of several aspects that make it so great, and have gotten to hear many questions answered that I didn't even know I had. You will subconsciously start to pick up vocabulary not usually taught in a standard flight training curriculum, but will undoubtedly be helpful in understanding the other side of the mic. One of my favorite episodes to date has been "OB 275: Ice Cold Vectors" where the mechanics of how Vectors to Final for an ILS approach are discussed, limitations on the controller side, as well as terminology such as "Approach Gates" introduced that were not taught during flight training (nevertheless great to know for a more thorough understanding of the NAS). I'll step back and get my Round Up though before I get too into the weeds…Still working backwards from OB 246. Thanks both for all you do, and keep up the great work. Huge fan of the show.

I now understand what’s going on behind the scope during my instrument flights. The guys are entertaining and super informative plus the great questions from pilots more experienced than l bring a unique perspective. Thanks!
