Podcasts about microlighting

In the first episode of a new podcast series, which explores which interesting hobbies pharmacists get up to in their spare time, Birmingham pharmacist Jennifer Smith talks about her high-flying passion for microlighting.

In the last episode of 2019 we go back to the stars of The Two Thousand Feet Podcast's most popular episodes and ask them about their plans for 2020. We also look back at the main UK general aviation news of 2019 - and at some of the fun this podcast has had at airfields across the country. Support the show (http://patreon.com/2kft)

2019 has been the year when even the sceptics accepted the need to do something about climate change.Among environmental activists, aviation has become a dirty word. Their figurehead, Greta Thunberg, famously chose to sail across the Atlantic, rather than fly.But how bad is aviation's contribution to the global climate crisis? And what is the solution? Should we all be going electric?Support the show (http://patreon.com/2kft)

We go behind the scenes at Southend's Air Traffic Control to understand how controllers work and to ask them about LARS, infringements and instructions to remain outside controlled airspace. And a visit to Weather School shows that few pilots remember their PPL meteorology - which is, perhaps, only natural. But how much of a problem is it?Support the show (http://patreon.com/2kft)
