| 10/7/26 |  OB455: A Tale of Two Missed Approaches | OB455: A Tale of Two Missed Approaches Released early to show supporters on 9/14/2026 Public release: 10/7/2026 ✈️ This week, one flight, two missed approaches, and two very different perspectives from opposite sides of the frequency. 🐧 Supporters heard OB455 on September 14—23 days before it reached the public feed. That early access is a major part of the Supporter Frequency: supporters get new episodes weeks ahead of everyone else, along with the full Opposing Bases archive, episode Deep Dives, bonus audio, private live recordings, and supporter-only access that puts their questions, stories, and feedback much closer to the microphones. 🎧 If you're listening to OB455 on the public feed on October 7, supporters have already been listening for more than three weeks.

| 9/30/26 |  OB454: Anything But Dandy | OB454: Anything But Dandy – ILS Pilot Deviation Released early to show supporters on 9/7/2026 Public release: 9/30/2026 ✈️ This week, a routine ILS vector doesn't go quite as planned, leading RH and AG into a discussion about mistakes, communication, and knowing when it's time to stop trying to quietly fix the problem yourself. 🐧 Supporters heard OB454 more than three weeks before the public feed.

They also get the full archive, Deep Dives, bonus audio, private live recordings, and a much closer seat to the listener stories and conversations that shape the show. 👀 Want to see what's happening beyond the public feed?

| 9/16/26 |  OB452: Both Sides of the Frequency | OB452: Both Sides of the Frequency Released early to show supporters on 8/26/2026 Public release: 9/16/2026 🎧 If you're new to Opposing Bases, this may be one of the best places to start. RH and AG dig into one of the ideas at the heart of the show: pilots understanding controllers, controllers understanding pilots, and recognizing how much work is happening on the other side of the frequency that you may never see. ✈️ Cockpit workload, controller workload, patience, frequency discipline, hidden ATC constraints — and why your direct may be someone else's delay. After 452 episodes, this conversation gets remarkably close to explaining why Opposing Bases exists in the first place. 🐧 Supporters heard this episode 21 days before the public feed. They also get the full Opposing Bases archive, bonus audio, private live recordings, and the supporter email channel that supplies many of the questions and stories you hear on the show. 👀 Want to see what's happening beyond the public feed?

| 9/9/26 |  OB451: Malfunction Master Class | OB451: Malfunction Master Class Released early to show supporters on 8/26/2026 Public release: 9/9/2026 ⚡️ A developing electrical problem, two pilots working the problem together, and some exceptionally thoughtful help from ATC. RH and AG break down what went right, why communicating early mattered, and how a relatively ordinary malfunction became a master class in teamwork and shared situational awareness. 🐧 Supporters heard this episode 14 days before the public feed. They also get the full Opposing Bases archive, bonus audio, private live recordings, and the supporter email channel that supplies many of the questions and stories you hear on the show. 👀 Want to see what's happening beyond the public feed?
