This has easily become one of my favorite podcast. I only started listening a couple months back, and had into jumped to a more recent SAR episode.

You should get @mattfrom103 on YT in your interview list. Equally excellent content.
Pretty good but episode 38 just hurt my ears, it was painful full to listen to I had to turn it off after 10 mins. The guy sounded so dull and boring! No expression in his voice , no humour nothing just a vacant sounding chap like he was robotically reading off some notes , by far the worst episode yet.
Very informative, definitely worth a listen to anyone interested in piloting for the RCAF!
Great podcast! Thanks for providing this insight into the people behind the RCAF!
