Former meteorologist and current flight instructor Scott Dennstaedt has launched AvWxWorshops.com, a web site dedicated to teaching weather for pilots. The site offers free e-mail tips and a newsletter, as well as over 20 workshops on specific weather topics. The workshops are viewed online and are 8 to 15 minutes long. They have titles like "Using NEXRAD to Identify the Location of a Front" and "Who Cares About PIREPs?" Dennstaedt also offers extended online classes and one-on-one weather training for pilots via the internet. In this podcast interview, Dennstaedt tells us more about the site and why he started it.
