By: Steve Heaser
Oct 28 2009
This week, a bit of a twist: Red Belly Radio Theater proudly presents radio as it used to be. Old time radio is the theme with this docudrama that features the talents of John, Trent, Caleb and me--your host Steve Heaser--with a special appearance by Southwest CEO Gary Kelly whose part was recorded while addressing a group of reporters and online media folks at the unveiling of a four-year-old... read more

Southwest Airlines Has Its Own Time Zone
By: Steve Heaser
Apr 22 2009
Did you know that Southwest Airlines has its own time zone? Well, we share it with everyone else who lives and works in Central Time, but we have our own name for it. We call it “Herb Time,” and it is what our Flight Crews use on every flight, every day, and in every flight log book. And, apparently, we are unique in the industry!
It seems other airlines schedule in the local time zones, so a... read more

This episode of Red Belly Radio was recorded at the 36th and last cook-off. I interview long-time chili cook and reigning Tennessee men’s state chili champion Richard Knight, and Jim Powell, who has attended almost every one of the Southwest chili... read more

Blended Winglets. They Don’t Just Look Cool!
By: Steve Heaser
Jan 28 2009
One of the dedicated Red Belly Radio listeners actually took me up on my suggestion and sent a show idea. And just to prove I actually read those emails I thought I’d try to get an answer. John Arvin wanted to know more about the winglets on our aircraft and I think I found an answer.
No one would know better than the folks in our Maintenance Operation Center so I sat down with Shawn to try to... read more
Deicing Da Plane
By: Steve Heaser
Jan 21 2009
Propylene glycol. Sounds fascinating, no? Is it a food additive? Is it used to regulate humidity in cigar humidors? Perhaps it is used to make artificial smoke such as you would find at your local night club? Maybe it is used in cat food? Well, no, it is not used in cat food for some reason, but propylene glycol is used to deice our aircraft and in all of the above uses (except the cat food--that... read more
