Apple makes this too hard ,

The Standard against which Military Aviation Podcasts are measured.

Like the title says, this is the OG. The superlative. Covers a bit of everything and a lot of some things. Great guests, great banter. From the heart and completely earnest. Not a propaganda project, but it makes me wish I was 20 years younger and American. My only complaint is we need to let it be a little more salty. Life isn’t always safe for work, and that’s ok.

An intellectually lazy podcast

Intellectually challenged, and lazy. Not worth your time. No longer the quality content it once was.

Love the show

I’m 14 years old and I love to listen to the show on the way to and from school. I am a aviation enthusiast and I love how much detail the show goes in to. Thanks
