Experimental Aircraft Channel's Podcast

Bryan Walstrom, from the Experimental Aircraft Channel, hosts this engaging Experimental Aircraft Channel's Podcast. It’s a space where the focus shifts from mainstream aviation to the hands-on, innovative world of homebuilt planes, Light Sport Aircraft, nimble ultralights, and the specialized realm of STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) machines. Each episode is built around genuine conversations, whether it’s a deep-dive interview with a builder putting the final rivets in their dream project, a pilot pushing the boundaries of backcountry flying, or a designer rethinking what a small aircraft can be. You’ll hear the specifics of construction challenges, the nuances of different engine choices, and firsthand accounts of what it’s like to fly these unique aircraft. The discussions naturally cover news from this niche community, insights from related film and television projects about aviation, and the sheer leisure and passion that drives this part of the flying world. Tune in for a podcast that feels like hanging out at the hangar, listening to stories told by the people who are actively shaping the future of personal flight, one experimental design at a time.
