    Awesome

    Great podcast
    What a great and informative program. Amazing how quickly low time pilots (like myself) start developing bad radio habits because we hear everyone else doing it and we think it is correct. This podcast is a great way to polish up on things forgotten, and learn something new each month. I highly reccomend it.
