    Excellent, Fascinating Podcast
    Herrie’s a journalist by profession and a glider pilot by avocation. He’s interested in all things related to gliders and glider pilots. From training to contest flying to record flying to vintage gliders to WWII glider pilots and more. Something for everyone.

    Great Podcasting for Soaring Pilots
    This is a great forum to hear about the sport of soaring. Insights from fellow pilots and soaring localities as well as what it’s like to experience soaring around the world. Thanks to Harry for this effort and community spirit.

    The best aviation podcast
    Such an informative and interesting format. The ever changing subjects and laid back atmosphere make this podcast perfect for easy listening while getting some cardio in.

    Great info from the interviews!
    Good stuff and keep it up! Might think about an interview of Scott Manley, guru of simulator based training. Especially with so many of us glued to the ground right now.

    Great idea! Great work!
    I really enjoyed episode 2. I think we could use many of these shows, one for more advanced pilots and several focused on pilots of various levels of experience and goals, and one for those just thinking of the sport for themselves as newbies. Congrats!

    Hope this podcast makes it to cloud base!
    Great to find a podcast about soaring with a host that is both a glider pilot and a journalist. I hope this podcast makes it to cloud base! Great first episode. James Cooper www.evergreensoaring.info
