Ham Radio Crash Course Podcast

Let’s face it. We could get Josh’s input on a better platform. The real gift of the HRCC podcast is the addition of his wife, Leah. Her perspectives as an outsider to ham radio enlivens the show and provides valuable perspective on how the rest of the world views us radio nerds. Thank you, Leah, for your time and input. Of course, the interaction of the couple is frequently entertaining, so I guess Josh isn’t totally useless! ; ) -The Travelin’ Ham

This podcast is educational and fun. Each episode contains a specific topic as well as ham adjacent ones with a lot of banter between the husband and wife duo. I like the mixture and it’s very entertaining for my non ham husband. I really enjoy hearing how ham radio fits in their daily lives especially in scouting. Keep up the good work.

I came across this podcast while studying for my tech ham exam, and looking for fellow hams in CA with online content that was relevant to where I live. Through the podcast I found Josh’s other content and all of the pieces of the ham world connected to him. I have not only learned a plethora of ham knowledge, but I have also found “my people” of the ham world…busy bee parents of grade school kids trying to find the balance between personal hobbies and real life, where kids and all of their activities come first and our hobbies come at night into the wee hours of the morning 😅 I can relate to almost every single word connected to their family life antics and I’m constantly smiling and laughing along with them. Thank you Josh and Leah! Love it!

I’ve submitted a review before, so feel free to skip this dup. But I listened a couple times to the last episode, and I’m pretty sure Josh said he’s going to take a cell phone to jamboree (?) to make some contacts (in a remote area). It is this out-of-the-box/insane type of thinking (plus Leah’s infectious laugh) that keep me coming back. I got my extra upgrade since my last review but still enjoy practicing test questions with Leah on your show.
