How to Fly a Jet

A sweet and moving reading of portions of a jet pilot's autobiography by his son. Good stuff!

Fun new podcast

I am in no way a Star Trek fan, but I loved the episode about Gayle working in an amusement park and dealing with all the characters you encounter in those lovely carefree summer jobs. I can't wait to hear more!
