I'm Bryan Roseveare. Fourteen years an airline pilot, now a simulator instructor. I train the pilots flying you around. This feed carries two shows, one point of view: the flight deck. The Bryan Air Podcast is the weekly show with co-host Ryan Parrock. The week's aviation news, told the way pilots actually talk about it: the stories that hit your ticket price, your travel plans and your rights. New travel rules, airline takeovers, airport failures, and the decisions made above your head. Two pilots, no script, and no shortage of disagreement. A Pilot Explains is the short solo show. One topic per episode, answering the questions passengers actually ask. Is it safe? Why did we turn around? What happens inside a flight simulator? Answered from the front seat, in plain language. South African honesty. No corporate spin. 280+ episodes and counting, and the number one management podcast in South Africa. New episodes every week.
