The Traffic Pattern

Thoroughly enjoyed your podcast, heard you first as a guest on 21.five podcast so I subscribed. Your passion and professionalism is infectious! Thank you!

On the right track for subject matter as there are almost no good and consistent aviation podcasts but this one has the same shortcomings most others do which is simply a massive lack of content. Interviewing someone about the Aeroshell Aerobatic team for 40 minutes is gonna get you the same level of understanding as watching a 15 minute YouTube video. People want a long form discussion. If you talk to a person you’ve never met for 40 minutes you aren’t getting to know them. You are learning their name and maybe a little about their background but to try to cover such an in depth topic in an interesting way is going to require an actual conversation. You need to be a skilled interviewer because sometimes when people have done something all their life they don’t necessarily know what is interesting to new people to someone who hasn’t done it or sometimes they’re just not very good at talking because they’ve spent their life learning a skill so you as an interviewer have to learn to pull good material out of them.

So moved by the vulnerability and transparency in the most recent episode. Thank you Rob and Derek for stepping into challenging space to have these hard conversations. Prayerful that your dialogue will lead to further heart change in myself and other subscribers.

When you turn on TTPP, you know you’re getting real, authentic conversations about the aviation industry. I always learn a thing or two when listening 🙌🙌
