From Ham Radio to Hot Air Balloons | Shane from Ham Radio Clubhouse
In this episode of Live Free and Ham, we’re joined by Shane from Ham Radio Clubhouse for a wide-ranging conversation about building a ham radio show, embracing livestream chaos, and learning by doing.
Shane talks about:
How Ham Radio Clubhouse got started
Why the show stays unedited and unscripted
What it’s really like running a long-term livestream podcast
His involvement in hot air ballooning and aviation projects
Why community matters more than polish in ham radio
We also dig into ham radio clubs, meetings, and how the hobby can stay fun, welcoming, and hands-on — instead of getting stuck in procedure and paperwork.
If you like honest conversations, real experiences, and ham radio content that feels more like hanging out than a lecture, this one’s for you.
