RIP Warbird Radio

[Dave Homewood]

I am very saddened to have just learned that one of the oldest aviation podcast networks, Warbird Radio, is no more. It closed down overnight I believe. I was a host on the network for a number of years with the Wings Over New Zealand LIVE Show, and it was the vehicle for a number of other great warbird, aviation history and veteran themed shows. Warbird Radio was one of the oldest aviation podcasts and one of my favourites. So many terrific interviews with the stars of the warbird world and with many, many Air Force, Army and Naval aviation veterans from around the USA and the world. My thanks to the network's owner, host, producer and mastermind Matt Jolley for all the years of dedicated broadcasting, and the support you gave me and my show. RIP Warbird Radio.

All but two of the podcasts on Apple Podcasts are from Show Center (which I enjoy) - I was hoping the archive might have survived there. It’s very sad news which I kinda saw coming as I’d not seen much activity of late.

For a while there Warbird Radio was a major part of my podcast listening. I’d check for new episodes all the time and enjoyed so much of the content. I loved that there were regular scheduled show slots, hosted by great characters who made it feel like you were all together sharing “an adult beverage” and having a chat.

Sad news indeed. Thanks for the memories Matt and co.

Zac, you should try listening to,”The Fighter Pilot” pod cast. I have listened to about 10 over the last few days at the gym, walking, chores etc...very good!

Big fan, although I haven’t caught up on the last couple of episodes. By a sad twist of fate the most recent is about the RCAF Snowbirds.
