General feedback

I’m enjoying this podcast even though I can’t travel right now. I am concerned that the “background music “ over powers Peter’s voice; especially in the introduction. Just FYI. Thank you & best wishes!

WHAT WOULD YOU ACTUALLY PROPOSE?

I consider myself a regular listener to the “Eye on Travel” podcast. As a somewhat frequent traveler, this podcast has occasionally provided ideas for new places to visit and a few tips to employ while traveling. However, Peter’s preoccupation with poor airline service and hinting at some type of regulatory solution are starting to wear thin. First of all, government regulation was what had many airlines before deregulation in or close to financial ruin. While there have been mergers and consolidations, there is a tried and true business concept called “economies of scale” that have brought about route efficiencies and plane technology. I suggest Peter stop whining incessantly about the problems and bring forward solutions if he is so consumed by this topic. Any insights from what he has seen that works around the world would be most better to listen to the constant “hand wringing” about how awful airline service is. In short, “grow some”!

Episode #438

It is unfortunate that you tarnished this otherwise informative episode with Victoria Mather’s interview. Harry is described as a “dimwit” and not being smart enough to continue advancing in the British Army. Is this the same person whose income base is now $100 million! Also the (clearly racist) implication that if the marriage fails, it will be Meghan’s fault.
Her whole tone, which you encouraged, was to blame everyone else but Buckingham Palace. And does she really believe that there is little or no racism in Britain?
I will hope that you were on deadline and did not anything other than that to use.
