Up and Away

Have you every wondered what it’s like to fly a seaplane? Or what it takes to fly around the remote Australian outback? Aeromedical flying? How on earth do pilots in Australia make it to jobs that are in? The best general aviation podcast that I’ve been listening to recently. I’m up to episode 5 and it’s made my commute the best part of my work day (And I love my job). Great to see a well produced AUSTRALIAN aviation podcast! If you are looking up at the sky every time a plane flies overhead, whether you are a pilot or not, you should have a listen and find out why it has got me hooked!

Well done on the launch of a second season! Australia needed a good aviation podcast and Chris Frangou delivers. He’s very humble about it, but Chris is also a world-class musician, and that’s where his unique gifts tie together. Exercising an insatiable curiosity for aviation and a strong background in sound and audio, he’s gone straight to the source and recorded it, believe me - there are some MASSIVE names in the first season alone. Chris is a terrific host. He asks the questions you badly want the answers to. He is relaxed and makes his guests and listeners feel at ease. And — he does his homework. Even when his speakers are not able to meet in person, the quality of the recordings are impeccable. Quite frankly, this podcast is a pleasure to listen to, whether you’re into aviation or not. Follow Up and Away podcast for some sensational storytelling and a fascinating insight into aviation of all shapes and sizes in Australia.

My son always chews my ears off about different aircrafts and their attributes and although I love his excitement and his keen ability to be explain what he’s learning. Thanks to Chris and his guests now I’m finding out more about what my son is interested in and have the ability to guide my teen to follow his interests. Now that I’m learning about some of the journeys I can be a better career guide for my kids. Maybe my daughter will end up in flight school! Also great interview skills and wonderful guests.

Good if you’re interested in aviation but it’s not a nerd fest - you can hear about the guests journey through aviation and in 10 episodes you can see there’s many roads to take - excellent lockdown listening! Chris has that rare skill to get out of the way and let the guest tell their story.
