My favorite ham radio podcast

I enjoy listening for the HRCC podcast since May 2022 when I got my Technician license. I like the format and way the hosts Josh and Leah lead the conversation about ham radio and other related and non related topics. Recommend the podcast to everyone who is interested in amateur radio. Also check out their HRCC Youtube channel, you will not regret it. 73 Igor KN6ZEO

Was on the fence… fall on the good side and give Josh and Leah a listen

I found the HRCC podcast by accident while I started studying for my tech license last spring. (2023) My favorite segment was the licensing quiz questions. I was missing most of them since they were for the general exam. At the time “extra by April” was often talked about. Since my car was in the process of being totaled by the insurance company due to hitting a deer, I decided to go for it. I kept listening to the podcasts and was happy while studying for the general exam when I began getting them all correct. Two weeks later I received my extra license. The podcast was a light way to hear about some ham radio topics and I eventually decided to go all in with the fun musings of Josh and Leah. I credit HRCC and NotARubicon for teaching me a lot about radio after I was reintroduced to it by a fellow railfan friend that had a Baofeng UV-5r to listen to train communications. I’ve since built up quite a collection of radios and antennas. My wife even encourages me to buy equipment. I had previously spent time in the US Army Signal Corp, so I have had a life long love of radio and other types of communications. I love the extended length of the show and listen with headphones while doing tasks around the house. I now types of communications. look forward to the podcast each week and save it for a weekly task. Short podcasts are good for short tasks like brushing your teeth, Josh and Leah’s show is for real work day tasks or long drives. I was initially on the fence. Happily, I fell off on the side of embracing the HRCC podcast.

Got my tech in October and been binging YouTube and podcasts, from HRCC. Good way to pass time on long flights. Listening to Leah study has inspired me, I am planning to test before my anniversary. Would setting a date to test help Leah too?
