Customer Reviews
I got RF burn from my EarPods.
No I didn’t.
3 hours. Check
Funny banter. Check
Learned something new. Check
Seriously the best podcast for Ham Radio and laughter. Josh and his Rear Admiral (chuckle) work wonderfully together.
KN4ZUN, 73s!!
Podcast to support a great community
A wibbly wobbly timey wimey ham radio minute, cat cups, helicopter houses, endless movie references, and RFI troubleshooting
Although focused on radio amateur topics podcast has many many adjacent topics that are interesting, a flavoring of adjacent pop culture topics like Star Trek, and not really adjacent MCU
As an avid podcast listener I found Leah and her engineer have a great format, fun to listen too, definitely in my top 10 every week.
Even though a vegetarian for years... podcast makes me crave chili every once and awhile
Josh has it !
I’m minutes into the cast with his wife .. but it’s late.. it needs my full rested attention. Again this gentleman has reignited my interest in Ham radio. Get some of this NOW!
