"Bagels"

Author: Jack Hodgson & Jeb Burnside January 7, 2026 Duration: 28:06
Jeb and Jack meetup with Amy Laboda for coffee, bagels, and conversation about flying. All this and more on Uncontrolled Airspace Podcast. Recorded Dec 11, 2025. (28:07) [#770] {3} [UCAP1116]

There’s a particular sound that defines Uncontrolled Airspace: General Aviation Podcast, and it’s not just the hum of a Lycoming engine. It’s the sound of relaxed, informed conversation between friends who happen to know a tremendous amount about flying. Hosts Jack Hodgson and Jeb Burnside gather the UCAP crew three times each month, turning microphones into a virtual pilots’ lounge where everything related to GA is fair game for discussion. What you’ll hear in this podcast isn’t a stiff, procedural briefing but the kind of direct, opinionated, and often humorous hangar-flying that happens after the aircraft is put away. The topics naturally wander wherever the winds of aviation news, safety, regulations, and personal experience take them, all delivered with a plain-spoken clarity that both new students and seasoned pilots can appreciate. Tuning in feels less like attending a seminar and more like pulling up a chair to listen in on some of general aviation’s most knowledgeable characters swapping stories and insights. It’s that regular, grounded conversation, free from pretense, that has made this podcast a longstanding favorite for anyone who finds their peace-and their passion-somewhere between the runway and the sky.
