During program we present hosts’ opinions and commentary about current General Aviation issues and news events with some dose of humor. We also explore all aspects of flying, aviation training, proficiency and safety. We have remote guests from different fields of aviation including expert flight instructors. You can call us live with any aviation related question, suggestion, problem or opinion. We'll try to answer your questions about flying on the air live, and have some fun while doing it! This is a call-in show but watch out, you can call us but we can and will also call you!</description><language>en</language><copyright>Copyright IMC Club International, Inc.</copyright><image><url>http://images.spreaker.net/large/c2dc7ca1149024d939b98f52ef63f5f1.jpg</url><title>The IMC Radio</title><link>http://www.spreaker.com/show/the_imc_club_international_inc_show</link></image><itunes:author>IMC Club International, Inc.</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>IMC Club International, Inc.</itunes:name><itunes:email>feeds@spreaker.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="http://images.spreaker.net/large/c2dc7ca1149024d939b98f52ef63f5f1.jpg"/><item><title>"Plane Talk" - May 16, 2012</title><link>http://www.spreaker.com/user/imcradio/plane_talk_may_16_2012</link><guid isPermalink="false">1028961</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 May 2012 21:59:59 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="http://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/1028961.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></enclosure><itunes:author>IMC Club International, Inc.</itunes:author><itunes:duration>3623</itunes:duration></item><item><title>May 9th, 2012 "Plane Talk"</title><link>http://www.spreaker.com/user/imcradio/may_9th_2012_plane_talk</link><guid isPermalink="false">1001233</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 May 2012 18:05:34 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="http://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/1001233.mp3" type="audio/mpeg"></enclosure><itunes:author>IMC Club International, Inc.</itunes:author><itunes:duration>3602</itunes:duration></item><item><title>"Plane Talk" - May 2, 2012</title><link>http://www.spreaker.com/user/imcradio/plane_talk_may_2_2012</link><description>Most non-pilots are completely ignorant when it comes to general aviation knowledge.
