Learning to Fly...Together – Details, episodes & analysis

Come on into the Eaglerock Portable Studio as Captain Rob and Tina record there first podcast together in over two years.  Our lives continue to be busy and in an effort to start producing podcasts again, we recorded this at the kitchen table with a portable podcasting setup.  A little degradation in the recording quality is in order so that we can record more often.  Also our regular studio hasn't been put back together so we hope you don't mind the recording.  We learned a few things that we can do to improve the next portable recording of our next epidsode in the next couple of weeks.

 

We are joined by our 16 year old son who we think previous listeners will remember as Trim Tab.  We talk  a little about what has been going on and then get right into listener feedback.  This episode also serves as an opportunity for Captain Rob and Tina to get there feet wet again at podcasting.  We appreciate your patience with us.

 

For those folks interested in the ground lesson Captin Rob gives Tina and their son, be sure to listen to the Lessons Feed.  That episode is the same as this one but we continue recording into a lesson after the 41 minute mark.   It is good to be back and we hope you enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Episode 2 of our Podcast.  This episode is focused more on an actual lesson that I presented to Tina and Aileron in preparation for solo.

For now we plan to have our odd number episodes cover the more social, family and relational topics and should be more entertaining as it relates to Learning to Fly, Love, Live and Parent together.   The even episodes such as this one,  will cover more of the technical aspects of learning to fly and will be segments of our acutal flight and ground lessons here at the Eaglerock Hangar.

This is a short episode recorded to explain and test a seperate feed.   If it works there should be a seperate feed for "The Lessons".   As explained in the first episode and show notes,  when Rob is actually teaching Tina a ground lesson,  that lesson will be posted as a seperate feed.   This way those not interested in "lesson content" don't have to listen on the main feed.  For those who just want the lesson content, they can download and subscibe to The Lessons.

We will see how this works.  We are unfamiliar with how our podcasting host works split feeds.  So if it doesn't work right away then you at least know what we are trying to accomplish.  Please be patient.

Now that we have our feet wet, will get on with reporting the story and get some flying done.

Well Here it Goes!

This is our first episode and serves as a introduction of the Learning to Fly Together Podcast.  In this episode we introduce ourselves and try to describe the vision and purpose of launching the podcast.  Like all new endeavours it may be a little rough around the edges but we had fun doing it and hope you have fun listening.

We don't know of any couples who have taken on teaching a spouse to fly and lived to tell about it so we are going to tell the story as it happens (incase we don't live to tell about it).  We will let you know about all and will have fun doing it. 

When the podcast gets technical, as Rob teaches the actual meat of learning to fly, will will split the feed and run a concurrent "lesson" type of podcast.   We will do the same for episodes when we talk about the technical aspects of ham radio and computers.   This way the listeners who want the "human story" and more entertaining part of our experience, don't have to listen to the overly technical sessions.  For those who will be interested in the technical episodes we will give you the feed details for those specific episodes as they occur.

Let us know what you think and we look forward to getting to know you.  Contact us by leaving comments here or e-mailing us at learningtoflytogether@gmail.com.   You may also leave a voicemail message at 206-984-2359 (2FLY).
