What we do
Consistently good, occasionally great.
Headline Interviews
Amazing skydivers from around Europe and the world
Interviews with the biggest names in the sport on a variety of topics. We range from probing awkward questions to sycophantic gushing when we meet our heroes.
School of Hard Knocks ("SoHK")
No shit there I was...
Our most popular segment. We spend a couple of minutes with an experienced skydiver with more than a thousand jumps. They tell us about a funny/sad/painful/scary moment in their logbook. And most importantly they tell us what they learnt so that you don't make the same mistake.
Front Cover Photo
Every podcast has an image embedded.
Our sport is so deliciously visual. We couldn't possibly just talk about our sport and not share some of our favourite images.
The front cover is embedded in our MP3 files and is our facebook cover photo for the duration that each show is the most recent.
Check out our cover photos on facebook.
Back Cover Photo
Because not everything we do is in the sky.
The "Front Cover" is for photos taken in the sky. We're a 'skydiving' podcast, not a 'standing' podcast. The "Back Cover" allows us the opportunity to publish and show worthy photos that don't necessarily involve in the sky activities.

Thought for the Podcast ("TftP")
Have you ever thought about approaching it like this...
Much of skydiving instruction is physical. Do this. Flare at this height. Fly with your arms in this position. TftP is designed for the mental aspect of the sport. Think like this. Have you considered that. These are harder to come by than a SoHK story but when you hear one, you'll love it.
Ask The Expert ("AtE")
Your questions answered
We speak to various experts in their field and get them to explain topics in depth so that you can learn from them.
15 Seconds of Fame
Andy Warhol says...
If you want to be on the next show, we'd love to hear from you. The best way is to record an audio message and email it to us studio@radioskydive.uk
15SoF encourages lots of short messages. You get your 15 seconds of fame. But no more. Run over? We'll cut your message leading to some hilarious results.
Listen to Ep 18 and hear Brian cut himself short when demonstrating the concept!
