Featured Podcast Sponsor:  Precision Holsters holiday specials!  Episode #422: Gavin Glasenapp: From Special Operations Aviation to Defender Development On today's American Warrior Show, we will be joined by former 160th Pilot and the current Training Operations Manager at Delta Defense, Gavin Glasenapp.   Gavin Glasenapp is the Training Operations Manager at Delta Defense, supporting the U.S. Concealed Carry Association's nationwide instructor network. He brings a deep operational background built over two decades in the U.S. Army, where he retired as a Chief Warrant Officer Four.   Gavin spent the first half of his career in the AH-64A and AH-64D Apache community, serving as both an Instructor Pilot and Standardization Instructor Pilot. He later assessed into the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), flying the MH-47G on heavy-assault missions in direct support of special mission units. Across twelve combat deployments flying both the Apache and Chinook, he gained extensive experience in complex, high-risk environments.   After the Army, Gavin served as a police officer in Southeastern Wisconsin, completing advanced LE training, including ALERRT and SWAT school. He now leverages his combined military, law-enforcement, and instructional expertise to strengthen USCCA training programs and enhance the readiness and capability of responsibly armed Americans. Gavin enjoys multiple hobbies and spending time, especially traveling, with his soon to be wife, Jessica. This episode gives listeners a rare look at the training, standards, and mission profiles of the legendary 160th SOAR. Gavin Glasenapp explains what sets these pilots apart and how their approach to risk, planning, and contingencies offers powerful lessons for everyday carry practitioners. Rich and Gavin connect SOF aviation principles to personal defense, instructor development, and decision-making under pressure. A fascinating mix of story and strategy.

Another archive interview, Bryan Young unearthed this archive interview of John Madden--most well-known for directing the Academy Award Winning film Shakespeare in Love---but was also the director behind the NPR Star Wars audio dramas. Enjoy this interview between the two as they talk about that project at length.

1DullGeek casually announces he's signed a contract for a Czech-built TL Sparker and will spend a month in Prague building it – because apparently "24 cubic feet of cargo space" (more than his compact SUV!) justifies international aircraft construction. The only minor detail? He has absolutely nowhere to hangar this composite beauty that "costs more than his house." Cue the deep dive into "Hangar Hell" – where waiting lists stretch to 2038, car detailing businesses occupy hangars, and Mark realizes he's been "a wholesale menace in every capacity to an airport." Meanwhile, Brian's gone full on into written tests, knocking out instrument ground instructor and fundamentals of instruction in two weeks because "the sponginess of my brain is kind of working at the moment." Plus: heated seats, cup holders, and the eternal question of whether N633K (a.k.a. "N-GEEK") will ever see the inside of an actual hangar.Upcoming Event:The Thaden Invasion Fly-In - March 13-15, 2026, Bentonville, Arkansas (VBT)RSVP at midlifepilotpodcast.com - "If half the RSVPs show up, we're gonna have a real good time.

Dark Winds makes its return to U&Alibi (43:45)and includes what is arguably the best meta joke of the year, Percy Jackson is back, causing trouble for the gods once again in Percy Jackson And The Olympians season 2 (59:00), and Alicia Silverstone takes a jaunt to the Emerald Isle in Irish Blood on Sky Witness (50:47).(Episode 366)Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

Marine combat pilot and filmmaker M.D. Selig joins us for an extraordinary deep dive into alien manipulation, Deep-State deception, and the psychology of mind control. Drawing from his experience as a decorated Marine A-6E Intruder pilot, Squadron Intelligence Officer, and creator of films featured on Netflix, Showtime, and Amazon Prime, Selig pulls back the curtain on how “impossible” events hide in plain sight.In this episode, we explore how covert narratives are constructed, why certain UFO encounters remain obscured for decades, and whether alien influence and psychological operations overlap more than we realize.

In this episode of Pilot's Say What?, we sit down with Tyler Brown, a Thrust Flight CFI whose path into flying wasn't traditional — but it proves something every new pilot needs to hear: your mindset matters far more than having everything perfectly figured out.

Today on Pilot's Say What? we sit down with Don to hear a pilot story with a totally different perspective — one that shows just how meaningful flying can be, even outside the traditional career path. Don shares how he got into aviation, what drew him to flying in the first place, and how owning and flying an aircraft opened doors in his life, helped him overcome huge travel challenges, and gave him a sense of independence that most people never experience.

Tomer Cohen is the longtime chief product officer at LinkedIn, where he's pioneering the Full Stack Builder program, a radical new approach to product development that fully embraces what AI makes possible. Under his leadership, LinkedIn has scrapped its traditional Associate Product Manager program and replaced it with an Associate Product Builder program that teaches coding, design, and PM skills together. He's also introduced a formal “Full Stack Builder” title and career ladder, enabling anyone from any function to take products from idea to launch. In this conversation, Tomer explains why product development has become too complex at most companies and how LinkedIn is building an AI-powered product team that can move faster, adapt more quickly, and do more with less.We discuss:1. How 70% of the skills needed for jobs will change by 20302. The broken traditional model: organizational bloat slows features to a six-month cycle3. The Full Stack Builder model4. Three pillars of making FSB work: platform, agents, and culture (culture matters most)5. Building specialized agents that critique ideas and find vulnerabilities6.

New research from ATRI indicates that ⁠pre-crash negligence, such as substance abuse allegations, is driving a massive increase in jury awards⁠ against trucking companies. This analysis suggests that organizational failures now carry financial multipliers that far exceed those associated with crash severity alone. In payment news, ⁠Relay Payments has secured a deal with Travel Centers of America⁠, completing its coverage of the "big three" travel center providers alongside Love's and Pilot. This expansion allows the digital payment platform to service fleets of all sizes with a network that now encompasses roughly 90% of the high-flow diesel market. Finally, ⁠SpeedX has opened a new e-commerce superhub in Chicago⁠ capable of processing 500,000 shipments daily as part of its rapid U.S. expansion. This strategic move highlights how independent parcel carriers are building nationwide networks to compete directly with FedEx and UPS for last-mile dominance. Later today on FreightWaves TV, tune in to ⁠The Long Haul⁠ for a conversation with Danielle Spanelli regarding rail theft and compliance.

In this episode, Dr. Stillwagon shares the story of how his life in the cockpit collided with his concerns about vaccine safety and public health mandates. What starts as a pilot's perspective on aviation protocols quickly shifts into a broader discussion about autonomy, transparency, and the pressure professionals faced during the mandate era. His journey from quiet observer to outspoken advocate paints a picture of someone who felt a responsibility to speak up, even when doing so came with consequences. It's a look at conviction, controversy, and the complicated space where medicine and personal freedom meet.GET SOCIAL WITH US!

Europe's chip future is being built in real time, and the view from Munich is electric. We sit down with IMEC's leadership and ESMC's founding CEO to unpack how pilot lines, a major Dresden fab, and the EU Chips Act are reshaping the continent's strategy—from research to high-volume manufacturing. Along the way, we track the evolution of Semicon Europa over 50 years, from a supplier-centric expo to a convening force that brings equipment makers, materials leaders, device companies, and end users into one space.Our guests open the hood on what resilience actually looks like: a 28 nm to 12 nm FinFET roadmap with integrated RRAM for microcontrollers, a half‑million‑wafers‑per‑year target, and a hiring plan that scales with purpose-built training in Dresden and Taiwan. On the R&D front, IMEC's expanded pilot line infrastructure—fueled by multi‑billion‑euro investment—helps Europe retain technology leadership while translating breakthroughs into products. We also examine advanced packaging, where 3D integration and chiplet architectures blur the line between front end and back end and create fresh opportunities for automotive and industrial electronics.The conversation gets candid on sovereignty versus interdependence. Full autarky is a myth; durable relevance comes from global collaboration, reverse dependencies, and focus on areas where Europe is indispensable—lithography, metrology, materials, and increasingly packaging and system design. We talk talent, too: why workforce visibility, skills pipelines, and on-the-job training will determine whether ambitious ramps hit their marks. If you care about semiconductors, policy, and the future of manufacturing in Europe, this is your inside track.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review—your support helps more builders and thinkers find us.Support the show

On the day he graduated from college, he didn't get a job offer or a celebration trip.He got a draft notice.Within 30 days, he would trade his cap and gown for a flight suit, and step into a war he thought would be over long before he ever saw combat.By 1972, he was flying A-6 jets out of Thailand into Vietnam every single day—bombing by day to protect troops on the ground, and hunting supply trucks by night.Seven of his closest squadron buddies never came home.Fifty-five thousand Americans died, and when it all ended, it felt like the country simply walked away.He came back from Vietnam bitter, silent, and carrying memories he rarely shared with anyone.And then, years later, his mother got cancer.On a visit home to Iowa, he asked her a simple question:‘Mom… did you ever save any of those letters I sent you from the war?'What she told him next—and what he found in a dusty box in the attic—changed the way he remembered everything.This is Letters to Mom.visit: www.lifelessonsbook.netvisit: www.TheRawVibe.com

This week on the show, Sara J. is joined by Alex Moore of Satellite Pilot, a psychedelic indie-pop band based out of Loveland, CO. We dive into the Denver & Fort Collins music scene—what makes it special, why authenticity matters, and how even in a crowded landscape, there's truly room for everyone.Naturally, we get into the heart of music community and the way sound connects people no matter the miles between them. We talk path markers in life, creative energy, tapping into self, and the frequency shift that happens when you're playing to a live crowd. Alex also shares the wild story of the massive snowstorm that hit on the night of their 10-year anniversary show… and how it transformed into an intimate evening with the “real ones.”Alex opens up about the roots of his musical passion—from being inspired by a musician father to watching his great grandma play piano and organ in church, to the moment he got his first guitar. He also tells a serendipitous story involving a piano and the day he was born - you know we love that around stuff around here!We dig into his eclectic musical influences, including his love for 60s rockers and the raw authenticity of hip-hop.Then it's all things Satellite Pilot—the ever-expanding energy machine.

On the day he graduated from college, he didn't get a job offer or a celebration trip.He got a draft notice.Within 30 days, he would trade his cap and gown for a flight suit, and step into a war he thought would be over long before he ever saw combat.By 1972, he was flying A-6 jets out of Thailand into Vietnam every single day—bombing by day to protect troops on the ground, and hunting supply trucks by night.Seven of his closest squadron buddies never came home.Fifty-five thousand Americans died, and when it all ended, it felt like the country simply walked away.He came back from Vietnam bitter, silent, and carrying memories he rarely shared with anyone.And then, years later, his mother got cancer.On a visit home to Iowa, he asked her a simple question:‘Mom… did you ever save any of those letters I sent you from the war?'What she told him next—and what he found in a dusty box in the attic—changed the way he remembered everything.This is Letters to Mom.Watch & listen to the full Episode #335 now on your favorite platform, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and share it with someone who needs to hear this story.visit: www.lifelessonsbooks.netvisit: www.TheRawVibe.com

Aaron is an independent political candidate running for the US House seat in the WA-05 congressional district. Aaron has dedicated nearly 22 years of service to the United States, including combat leadership, foreign affairs, and diplomatic work at a U.S. Embassy. His military career taught him the value of service, teamwork, and accountability — principles he now brings home to Eastern Washington. ​ Aaron has deep local ties. He served at Fairchild Air Force Base and chose Spokane as the place to retire with his family. His wife grew up in Elk, WA, and both of their children pursued undergraduate degrees here in Eastern Washington. Their family's roots run deep in the Inland Northwest. ​ From the battlefield to the embassy table, Aaron's experience translates directly to civilian service: putting people first, making tough decisions, and building bridges between people and communities.

The wait is over! Well, sort of, because Stranger Things returns to Netflix this week for the first part of its final season to whet our collective appetites for the final assault on the Upside Down at the end of the year (44:50).

And finally, we're up to our ears in blood, balls and boobs as we return to ancient Rome for a sequel/reboot/retcon of Starz swords-and-sandals franchise in Spartacus: House Of Ashur on MGM+ (1:20:45).

There's a new streaming service out called The Network, and it just dropped a new series, The Artist. Set in 1906 Rhode Island, the show follows Norman and Marian Henry (Mandy Patinkin and Janet McTeer), a powerful but couple in a rocky marriage whose estate becomes ground zero for a murder mystery. Part upstairs/downstairs drama and part absurd comedy, it brings a modern, loosely improvised energy to period TV in a way that sits somewhere between The Great and Dickinson. The ensemble includes Danny Huston as Edgar Degas and Hank Azaria as Thomas Edison, and in the premiere their storylines. Tune in to hear our pros, cons, comparisons, and rating.

Segment 2 — The Contenders: Hawker, Raynham, and Kerr Race for the Transatlantic Prize — David Rooney — Rooney further details the competing teams vying for Northcliffe's £10,000 prize. Key contenders include Australianpilot Harry Hawker (partnered with Grieve), representing Sopwith, and Admiral Mark Kerr commanding a large Handley Page bomber.

In September 1920, Captain Percy Snell thrilled Brisbane by performing aviation stunts in a biplane right over the centre of the city. Forgotten today, this fearless flier was a man of many adventures, including heroics and possible crimes in the Great War. Back home, when not entertaining the future King of England, Percy was piloting a state premier on an aerial election campaign tour that ended in what may have been Australia's first political assassination attempt.It's easy to get a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes.

In this episode of Behind the Prop, hosts Bobby Doss and Wally Mulhern welcome Mark Patey — entrepreneur, aviator, and co-founder of Best Tugs and Best Aviation Products — for a powerful conversation on aviation innovation, safety, and personal growth. With over 12,000 flight hours and nearly three decades of flying experience, Mark shares how his passion for engineering and aviation led to building products that offer twice the value for only 10–20% more cost, creating a winning formula for pilots who prioritize both performance and safety. His companies now have 47 new aviation products under development, each designed to make flying more efficient, safer, and more enjoyable.Beyond business, Mark opens up about his transformation from the thrill-seeking days of the “Flying Cowboys” to becoming a safety advocate focused on humility and honesty. He reflects on how earlier flying videos showcasing aggressive backcountry flying unintentionally encouraged risk-taking, and how experience — along with age and perspective — taught him the true meaning of responsible flying. Mark emphasizes that proficiency and preparation make the difference between danger and mastery, comparing backcountry flying to instrument flying: both can be safe or deadly, depending on skill and mindset.The discussion also explores the growing issue of negativity in online aviation communities, where misinformation and quick judgments often drown out real learning opportunities. Mark and the hosts discuss the need for empathy, understanding, and constructive dialogue among pilots. In response to the fear and stigma surrounding mistakes, Mark introduces his vision for a “Pilot Confessional” podcast, where aviators can anonymously share near-miss experiences and lessons learned — helping others avoid similar situations without fear of backlash or violation.In a heartfelt conclusion, Mark reveals how a near-death medical experience reshaped his outlook on life and aviation. No longer chasing records or recognition, he now prioritizes peace, longevity, and family. His message to the aviation community is clear: be honest about your skills, stay humble, and fly for the love of life — not the thrill of risk.

There are chocolates in the studio this week — albeit ones that were initially destined for our editor Darren, but let's gloss over that, shall we? In addition to raising our blood sugar levels while doing this week's show, we take a look at the harrowing true story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's imprisonment in Iran with Prisoner 951 on BBC1 (43:45), see if Sherlock's assistant can make it without the man himself in Watson on Sky Witness (54:35), and catch up with newly minted national treasure Alan Carr in the third series of Changing Ends on ITV (1:03:59).(Episode 364)Note: time stamps are approximate as the ads throw them out, so are only meant as a guide.

If You're a Pilot or ATC Struggling Right NowYou're not alone. This episode is for you. There are people fighting to make it safe to get help without sacrificing your identity and your career.“It's going to be faster and easier for us to change federal law than it is for a pilot to get certified with minor to moderate mental health issues.”In this powerful conversation, Ramos Law Director of Aviation Joseph LoRusso sits down with Chris Finlayson, United Airlines A320 pilot and Executive Director of the Pilot Mental Health Campaign (PMHC), to talk about one of aviation's biggest open secrets: pilots and air traffic controllers are afraid to seek mental health care.They break down:- Why so many pilots wait until they're in crisis before getting help- How FAA medical rules and the 8500 form create a “catch-22” that can turn honesty into a felony- The Mental Health and Aviation Act and Aviation Medication Transparency Act. What they actually do and why they matter- The shocking reality that it was faster to move a bill through the U.S. House than for one pilot to get FAA-certified on treatment- The human cost: long COVID, anxiety, depression, divorce, burnout, and crashes in an industry built on professionalism and safety- Why untreated mental health is a bigger safety risk than allowing pilots to proactively seek care- How pilots, ATC, and the FAA can move from fear and silence to partnership and transparency

On this episode of the “Prison Pulpit” on the China Compass podcast I dive into what missionary pilot Kevin Rideout might be experiencing in Niger (or Timbuktu) after being kidnapped by Islamic extremists (but I repeat myself) last month, in the hopes that we will take time to "remember his chains" and intercede for him as Hebrews 13:3 teaches us to do....

Niamey is 500 miles north of the Atlantic Ocean (leap-frogging Benin) Niamey is in the south Sahara, 1500 miles from the Mediterranean and 2100 miles from Cairo Niger is about twice the size of Texas, 3x the size of California, and virtually the same as Peru Niamey has about a million people, and Niger as a whole 25 million Niger has both the highest birthrate in the world at 6.5, but also the highest infant mortality rate The child mortality rate (child deaths before age 5) is between 80 and 250 per 1,000 (1 in 4) Niger is such a basketcase that even China has trouble getting them to cooperate, despite throwing hundreds of millions (billions, really) of dollars their way!
