Customer Reviews
Brilliant listen.
Really got sucked in with this podcast. Very well put together and the knowledge of aviation from Gus is great. Really impressed.
Very well informed
Excellent and interesting podcast. Such a shame it has come to an end. I wish the hosts luck in their future ventures, they were both fantastic.
Aviation explanations
As educational as it is gripping
Tells you the causes of the incident/accident, and everything that changed to make air travel safer following them
If you know Gus and Chris from elsewhere you get exactly what you would expect. If you don’t, enjoy getting to know two extremely likeable guys, and I implore you to explore more of their content.
To think, you may not even know that Gus is the Cheesemaster…
