A thirty-minute glider flight in Britain costs around fifteen pounds. A gyroplane licence runs roughly eight to ten thousand. A full airline career can run past two hundred thousand. Second in our pilot licensing series, this episode covers every pathway into British aviation: gliding, microlights, gyroplanes, and the powered ladder from NPPL through to a full commercial licence. Costs, hours, medicals, what recently changed, and how it compares to Australia's system.

Look! Squirrel! Your attention span is selective, not short.

You can be soaring silently with no engine at all for around five thousand dollars, or working two years toward an airline captain's seat for two hundred thousand. First in a new series comparing pilot licensing around the world, this episode covers the full Australian picture: gliding, gyrocopters, and the powered aeroplane ladder from RAAus through to a commercial licence. Hours, real costs, medical requirements, and how each pathway connects to the next.

An unscheduled episode. Dolly Parton died this week at 80, and I sat down to talk through her journey from a one-room Tennessee cabin to global icon, the songs, the Imagination Library, and why her death has hit so many people so hard. Curiosity, unfiltered, unapologetic, this time with a lump in the throat.
