Here are 9 Great Ham Radio Podcasts

Over the last decade, I’ve listened to many ham radio podcasts and found them to be a great way to pass the time while driving or working in my home office.

Some of the best podcasts have come and gone, and some wax and wane on a regular basis as the host’s time permits (Jerry, we miss PARP!).

I put a list together of the eight podcasts that I listen to on a regular basis. Hopefully you’ll see one or two that you haven’t added to your list. Do you also enjoy listening to any of these great podcasts?

(And if I’ve missed a good one, please let me know in the comments!)

    Thanks for including QSO Today in your list of 8. It is my favorite past time in addition to amateur radio. 73, Eric 4Z1UG http://www.qsotoday.com

  • Matt W1MST:

    Keep up the great work, Eric! I really enjoyed your interview with Ward Silver.

  • Ron, K8HSY:

    This is an excellent list of podcasts. If you were ranking them according to the ones you thought were the very best, I, personally, would rank QSO Today at the very top, and in second place, I would include one you don’t seem to have on your list; I am referring to “Ham Nation.” There have been other really excellent ham-orientated podcasts, but they have either gone totally QRT, or unfortunately, they are not published on any kind of regular schedule.

  • Len KG5BJH:
