Max Trescott teams up with Tom Turner—executive director of the American Bonanza Society's Air Safety Foundation—to help listener Marc Brodecki weigh options for earning his private pilot certificate. Marc, a 39-year-old aerospace engineer in Los Angeles with glider experience, is evaluating three flight training options: a nearby tailwheel-focused school (that includes a Stearman), a larger flight school at Torrance using Sling aircraft, or buying and learning in the Beechcraft Bonanza he eventually wants to own. Tom provides extensive guidance on Bonanza ownership. He discusses which Bonanza models (S-35 or early V-35) fit Marc's $100–$150k budget and breaks down the real-world operating costs—including fuel, maintenance, insurance, tie-downs, and the potential for large, deferred maintenance costs. He stresses that insurance for student pilots in complex aircraft like Bonanzas can be a barrier and suggests checking with brokers early. Max adds that avionics upgrades are costly and advises finding an aircraft that already has the equipment you need. Tom and Max both support training in a Bonanza—if done right. Benefits include gaining type-specific proficiency, leading to greater safety and a stronger insurance profile. However, they caution that older Bonanzas may lack dual controls and copilot brakes, which are required for instruction and checkrides. Installing these features can be expensive and difficult, making them a potential dealbreaker. Max recommends looking for experienced Bonanza instructors, such as those certified through ABS's Flight Instructor Academy. Marc also asks about learning in tailwheel aircraft and transitioning later to a Bonanza. Tom says that's a viable and fun route—especially if the nearby school makes frequent training easy. Both guests emphasize that the convenience of the training location often matters more than the training aircraft. Flying regularly helps students retain skills and progress faster. The discussion also touches on partnerships to reduce ownership costs, the hidden expenses of ownership (like California's use tax), and how to vet good instructors. Max compares the CFI relationship to psychotherapy—it must be built on trust. A red flag is any instructor who pretends to know everything rather than admitting when they need to look something up. As for timing, both Tom and Max encourage Marc to begin instrument training soon after earning his private certificate. In cloud-prone California, that rating increases safety and utility, and the sooner it's earned, the easier the transition. To wrap up, Max reminds Marc not to get stuck in “analysis paralysis.” While his engineering mindset may drive him to seek the perfect solution, the key is choosing a path that's good enough and lets him start flying soon—and enjoy the journey.

17 years of combination experience 2nd generation Firefighter. A Captain on Engine 18 with Caldwell Fire Department in Idaho, President with Treasure Valley Fools & creator of March Mayhem Fire Conference. Gino got his start as a reserve FF for Sacramento City with the dream goal of becoming a Firefighter with Cal Fire. Once he was eligible Gino began applying anywhere he could to get a full-time career position. That prayer was answered when he got hired with Sacramento. But Gino began to realize he wasn't truly being fulfilled being just a number in such a large department and started seeking other avenues. Gino adds that there are no ill feelings towards his former organization but sometimes you as the individual need to find a place where you feel like you can make a difference and leaving a positive mark within the service.IG: mr.triple_g

Welcome to the first episode in a three-part series about community wildfire resilience, sponsored by Fire Aside. This episode explores a number of big, meaty topics you've likely been hearing about in the wildfire space, from wildfire insurance to categorical exclusions to NEPA to wildfire resilience policy in the era of urban conflagrations like those in LA this winter. Our fearless leader on this journey is former CAL FIRE Chief Deputy Director Chris Anthony, who has worked with some major players in the wildfire space since retiring in 2023. His consultation clients have included entities in the nonprofit, academic, philanthropic, agency and private industry (including Fire Aside) spaces, while also serving as a board member for the Earth Fire Alliance and California Fire Safe Council.Chris has a deep understanding of wildfire resilience at both the landscape scale (think fuels management and big-picture restoration projects) as well as at the community scale (think home hardening, defensible space and how counties and cities engage with homeowners). This breadth of experience has made him instrumental in informing and advancing critical wildfire policy at the state level in California, while also getting involved in projects that leverage technology to help us better understand and mitigate risk to wildfire. After 30 years in CAL FIRE, his goals upon leaving the agency were simple: 1. Bring fire back to fire-adapted ecosystems.2. Build more understanding around what strategies and mitigative actions can meaningful reduce risk in communities.3. Develop and support policies that help us meet these two goals.4. Find innovators and technologies that can help scale up some of the critical actions we need to take to move the needle on fire resilience. We would like to extend a huge thank you to Fire Aside for sponsoring this series. Fire Aside is a home assessment platform that helps fire departments, conservation districts and other entities perform more thorough wildfire risk assessments, while also providing a platform for directly engaging homeowners in taking meaningful action to improve their resilience.

The Palisades Fire that started in the City of Los Angelas, January 2025. Photo courtesy of Cal FIRE. California is being hit with increasingly frequent, climate change-turbocharged wildfires and much of the disaster-recovery costs are being passed on to taxpayers and ratepayers in the form of higher, and increasingly unaffordable, insurance rates, housing costs, property taxes, utility bills, and health expenses. Some lawmakers, backed by environmental and citizen rights groups, aim to change that. Earth Island Journal editor-in-chief and Terra Verde cohost Maureen Nandini Mitra talks about ongoing legislative efforts to make the main drivers of climate disruption — fossil fuel companies and other corporate polluters — pay up with Maya Golden-Krasner, deputy director of the environmental group Center for Biological Diversity's Climate Law Institute, and Sierra Lindsey Kos, co-founder and co-executive director of Extreme Weather Survivors, a climate disaster survivor support group.

The recent fires in Southern California are being estimated as the most costly natural disaster ever - at $250 billion so far. One group says they were caused and worsened by Climate Change. Another says Directed Energy Weapons. Disagree with either, or ask for proof, and condemnation is often the response. Other times evidence is produced: a blue VW bus and trash cans, or a fire chart of increasing wildfires and burned acres. In both cases, however, context is not provided. For every blue trash can left standing, hundreds more were burned. For every increase in fires or acres burned there was also a previous decrease that allowed for a perceived increase - such data is also selective, cutting out anything prior to 1983. Whatever the cause there is no debating that the mass majority of “unnatural” fires in general, but specifically in California, are caused by humans, as CNN reported: “About 95% of fires in California are caused by humans, whether through an intentional act of arson, a downed power line, or a backyard barbecue party or fireworks celebration gone awry, Cal Fire officials said.” In cases of arson, California law enforcement have arrested multiple people for starting recent additional fires, including a woman who said “she enjoyed causing chaos and destruction.”-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
