Graybrain ,

Highly expert but sometimes myopic

Despite my score, I strongly recommend this podcast to anyone who is interested in aviation. The journalist have good access and deep expertise. However, the outlook episodes with a forecast from Accenture are full of current business school buzzwords with little substance. A few years ago they said block-chain software would transform aerospace. This year AI will transform aerospace. How exactly will that happen? Did the block-chain revolution ever do anything? I never hear any follow up on previous predictions.

Favorite Podcast

I’ve subscribed to Aviation Week for the last 40 years. The podcast is incredible - the contributors are both entertaining and highly knowledgeable. This podcast is for those who want the in-depth angle for any story, rather than the breathless pablum from the know-nothing general media (rapid descents become “plunges”).
