You earned the ticket. Now what? Most VFR pilots get their certificate and then spend the next few years doing pattern laps and $100 hamburger runs, never quite working up the nerve for the big trip. There's no checkride for cross-country confidence, so nobody teaches it. This week, Brian, Ben, and Ted dig into everything that happens after your training ends and the open country begins.The guys get into the gap in pilot training nobody talks about: en route weather reality versus departure-and-arrival thinking, why personal minimums need a methodology for ratcheting (not just a number on a card), and how to think about your airplane as your responsibility for three days on the ground, not two hours in the air. Plus the stuff that bites you in the real world: dead iPads in one-million-degree Texas heat, self-serve fuel pumps that put a $3,000 hold on your only credit card, progressive taxi at unfamiliar fields with crossing runways, and knowing where you're going to put it down when the engine quits on departure from an airport you've never seen.Ben finally lands on the right runway at New Smyrna Beach, Brian watches his commercial rating show up in the airman registry, and a bathroom-wall sticker in New Orleans pulls another listener out of a training slump. Brian also announces The Long Way, his new four-week ground course built on everything learned VFR-ing all over the country, available now at makesmallcorrections.com.Whether you're the pilot talking yourself out of the trip or the one who goes far but knows some of it was luck, this one's for you. You don't have to be IFR-rated to Ted yourself all over the United States.Mentioned on the show:Ultimate Pilot's Guide to Becoming a Midlife Pilot, 2nd edition: https://midlifepilotpodcast.com/#guideFairchild C-123: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairchild_C-123_ProviderNew Smyrna Beach Airport: https://www.nsbairport.com/The Jerk: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_JerkThe Long Way — Cross-Country Confidence for VFR Pilots, a four-week ground course: https://www.makesmallcorrections.com/Air Facts Podcast with Gita Brown: https://airfactsjournal.com/2026/06/podcast-dads-logbooks-with-gita-brown/Gita's 2025 Dad's Logbooks article: https://airfactsjournal.com/2025/08/dads-logbooks-keeping-a-daughter-on-course/
Have you ever noticed that when humans try to talk about God, awakening, truth, or the divine we almost never explain it directly? Instead, we tell stories. We say life is a battlefield. God is a shepherd. The soul is a river returning to the sea. The self is two birds sitting in the same tree. Across cultures, centuries, and spiritual traditions, mystics don't simply define the divine, they paint it. In this episode, I take you on a kind of devotional poetry slam through sacred metaphor. We'll explore passages from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Psalms, and yogic philosophy to see how spiritual traditions use image, story, and symbol to help us feel our relationship with the divine. Because metaphor doesn't just help the mind understand. It gives the nervous system somewhere to rest. We'll explore:
COCADA, LÁGRIMAS E FILHÓS De: Paulo Paulo Piratta/Tarzan LeãoParticipação Especial: Rubão Lima Meu pai é o mestre da cocada, minha amada mãe é verdadeira artista dos filhós.Na cozinha, a batata amassada, amor frito, unia todos nós.Entre curvas e ladeiras, sigo o sol que o chão beira que me leva ao SeridóA brisa do Seridó, se desata em Caicó, sopra lá em Ipueira, se mistura com a saudade para secar os filhós.Tradição que não é brincadeira, óleo no fogo borbulha, lagrima cai no fogãoBainha, faca e cocada, a memória que retrata me aperta o coração."Mãe, a dor da perda é forte, o luto virou nossa sorte, quando Gita nos deixou.A saudade faz ciranda e a falta de Gitana rimando amor com dor"Enxugue o rosto, menino, vamos fritar com amorA receita da nossa história, que desata qualquer nóGitana passou sorrindo a capela dobra o sino, de Ipueira a Caicó.Gitana passou sorrindo a capela dobra o sino, *Cocada Lagrimas e Filhós*

Mired, as I am, in Western linear modes of thinking, I have a difficult time grasping the circular time concepts comprising the Vedic texts and the Bhagavad Gita, especially the lifetime conjecture scope in the opening quote. I was indoctrinated with the belief the human scope consists of a single lifetime, where the Gita outlines multiple lives dictated by reincarnation cycles bent by Karma Yoga, driving the rebirth cycle. In Western ethics, the goal is moral order and autonomy for our one and only life. In the Gita, the goal is moksha, liberation from Samsara, the cycle of rebirth. It emphasizes...

Tien jaar geleden trok Gita Van den Boer voor het eerst naar haar geboorteland India. Niet om te zien waar haar wiegje stond, maar om de kleuren en geuren op te snuiven. De ondernemer in haar kwam terug met het merk Chalo, een chai latte die sindsdien op vele plekken te drinken is. Hoe combineert ze het ondernemerschap met het moederschap? Hoe blikt zij terug op haar adoptie? En welke moeder wil ze zijn voor haar tweeling?

Indonesia's former trade minister Gita Wirjawan - Stanford visiting scholar and host of the Endgame podcast - joins Ray Powell and Jim Carouso to unpack what the closure of the Strait of Hormuz means for Southeast Asia and why it is more than just an oil shock.With a significant share of the region's energy flowing through this narrow chokepoint, the disruption is exposing how vulnerable Southeast Asia really is. Most countries hold only weeks to a couple of months of fuel reserves, and governments like Indonesia - already facing higher-than-expected oil prices - are being forced into difficult tradeoffs between subsidies, social programs, and fiscal stability.Gita explains why countries like the Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia are particularly exposed, and why switching energy suppliers is far more complicated than it sounds. He also walks through how rising fuel costs ripple quickly into everyday life, especially in archipelagic economies where higher transport costs can drive up food prices and strain household budgets.The conversation goes beyond the immediate crisis to explore deeper structural challenges, including limited fiscal space, reliance on foreign investment, weak regulatory environments, and gaps in technical capacity. Gita argues that these factors make it harder for Southeast Asia to attract the capital needed to strengthen its energy security and long-term resilience.Looking ahead, the discussion turns to whether this crisis could become a turning point. While renewable energy is becoming cheaper and more viable, scaling it across the region will require massive investment and stronger governance. The episode closes by asking whether Southeast Asia can use this moment to assert greater agency, or whether it will remain dependent on forces beyond its control.
On this week's episode, Nathan, Chris, and Gita bid farewell to the Aftermath Twitch channel—at least, in terms of using it to record the podcast—and turn their sights toward a pre-recorded, more-thoroughly-edited future (coming soon!). We also discuss Valve's decision to massively increase the Steam Deck's price thanks to “global logistical challenges” (read: AI and an incredibly stupid war) and how what seems to be the end of affordable consumer hardware might impact the games industry five or ten years down the line. Then we talk about the latest Boots Riley movie, I Love Boosters, and how intensely good it is by virtue of embracing a singular vision—the kind film industry outsiders rarely get the opportunity to put on screen these days. After that, we dive into the weeds of what it means to play and enjoy a game—in this case, Zero Parades: For Dead Spies—despite thorny origins. Lastly, Gita and Nathan debate the merits of two popular bands, Paramore and Sleep Token, even though both of their opinions are wrong.Credits- Hosts: Chris Person, Gita Jackson, and Luke Plunkett- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

On this week's pod, Luke, Gita and Chris got together to talk about the game that people inexplicably cannot stop talking about: Mixtape. We talk about the way that it's portrayal of teen nostalgia hits, and more frequently, doesn't hit, as well as the bizarre series of conversations that are occurring about this game on social media. Then, Chris and Gita chat about the orb-tastic Saros, a game for total sickos that these two sickos are truly enjoying.Credits- Hosts: Chris Person, Gita Jackson, and Luke Plunkett- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

Season 5 of A Curious Yogi is here.I'm so happy to begin this season with a solo episode exploring an essential teaching from my teacher, Swamiji, who encouraged everyone to learn and memorize these seven verses from the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 2, verses 19–25). He described them as containing the essence of the entire scripture.In this episode, I share some of Swamiji's reflections and commentary, attempt to sing the Sanskrit verses myself (eek), and explore ways we can read, contemplate, and meditate on this timeless text as modern seekers.Some key themes from the conversation:The Gita is not simply a literal story about war or battle, but an exploration of the inner conflict between the individual self and the wisdom of the Higher Self.Gita means “song” — these teachings were meant to be sung, recited, and absorbed deeply.The teachings point us toward deathlessness: the reminder that we are not merely the body or identity we take ourselves to be.Perspective matters deeply — reading the Gita through Krishna's consciousness offers something very different from reading solely through Arjuna's confusion.If this episode gives you even a small glimpse into the depth and beauty of the Gita, I'd love for you to join me this June for an 18-week reading, study, and meditation group: 18 chapters in 18 weeks.All sessions will be recorded, so there's no pressure to attend live every time. And Patreon members receive 50% off the full offering.More than anything, I'm excited to explore this mystical and practical scripture intentionally with the curious yogi sangha.In oneness, Bobbi Thanks for listening!

A reading for meditation of selected verses from the 'Essence of Ribhu Gita'. Translated by Professor N.R. Krishnamoorthi Aiyer.The Ribhu Gita is a revered Advaita Vedānta text that teaches the direct realization of the Self as pure, indivisible awareness. It is presented as a dialogue between the sage Ribhu and his devoted disciple Nidagha. The teaching is uncompromisingly non-dual, declaring that the Self alone exists and that all apparent multiplicity is merely a superimposition upon that reality.The text is famous for its radical simplicity and repetition, repeatedly affirming the truth that Brahman alone is real and identical with the Self.The Ribhu Gita has been especially cherished in the tradition of Ramana Maharshi, who often recommended its study. Portions of the text were translated into Tamil by Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi, and it became an important scripture for many non-dual practitioners.Music: Meditative Mind
a conversation with James Beshara, founder of Magic Mind on remembering what you already are.this one moves through the Gita, but not as something distant or philosophical—something lived. something felt. we talk about what it really means to choose righteousness… not as morality, but as choosing yourself. your truth. your authenticity. over the pull of validation, approval, and performance.and somewhere in the middle of it all, something deeper reveals itself:you are not separate from what you're seeking.you are already it.divine. whole. enough.a meditation on returning to that knowing—and why nothing is more satisfying than living from it.**there's a gentle lag in parts of this conversation (the reality of meeting over screens)—thank you for staying with us through it.**checkout more from James below:James on InstagramMagic MindOPENSTATEThe Daily VedanticAPT AI (use code APTPRO100 at TRYAPT.AI)
