Many thanks for that, Jim! We're really grateful for the feedback, that's the only way we know if the experiment is working.

Thanks for making my morning!

A pilot thinks a green dot is something you land on at Oshkosh. I ve got no idea what esoteric computer thing this is?

It's a Netflix remake of the science fiction movie, "The Green Slime", tidied up to appeal to audiences in Wisconsin.

You're not the only pilot here, Bill. This is a podcast - think radio show that you can listen to when you want, without a radio. Click the link and push the play button, really not that esoteric after all. And yes, because we're oh-so-clever, we named after something you land on at Oshkosh.

All that said, I like Ron's definition a lot better.

What will they think of next? Do you think out of 300,000 EAA types that I am the least computer savy? Us old guys are a oppressed minority these days, we need a union. Whats next, a drone to deliver packages?Man, I hope at the Pearly Gates there is a phone that you pick up that says "Admisson" and not a sign saying "Please log in"! I have flown a Wright Flyer, at least the replica even if Im not up on pods and computers. I thought a pod was somthing in an old horror movie that grew and took over your body when you fell asleep or maybe the driver enclosure on an Indy car. Seriously, where did one first find out about this podcast?

PS As for as "being nice", that is what I always try to do. Sometimes trying to be helpful is not always seen that way.

It's been in our weekly email newsletter several times since it launched, it's featured on the home page of EAA.org, and on our blog. Give it a listen, I'd love to know what you think!

Hal, just a quick note to say how much I'm enjoying the podcasts. They are really entertaining, both funny and informative. I think my two favorites so far are #2 with Mikey McBrian and #5 with Charlie Precourt, but they are all good.

I hope you keep it up!

Cheers

I just ran into an intersting podcast about Patti Wagstaff flying in some imc weather in Alaska when she was a new pilot. It was interesting, but I must confess it was on another site, and I will try to find the EAA ones.

Hal, telling me about a computer thing is a grey area, but one of the EAA people was nice enough to tell me exactly what to click and I got it to work.
I listened to the conversation with John Monnett, which at first was a little sad, but then I thought it was good to have that time with him on tape. I am much more of a pilot than a designer , though I co built and flew one homebuilt. He sounds like he was more of a designer, a bit of an artist.
Thanks

Hal - et all......
I want to thank you for another set of Green Dots. I listened to the last 3 sequentially this morning while stripping old finish off some of the kitchen cabinets. The podcast helped immensely to get through a really drone job and before I knew it I was done with the current section. Thanks for the great work........... looking forward to the next segments.
