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.

Love this!

I used to subscribe to AWST magazine as a kid. This podcast is a great answer for me in that I can just select which I want to listen to. Thanks so much and keep them coming.

Engaging and relevant

Podcasts are about current topics and cover a wide variety- technology, commercial, safety, military; and the length of each podcast is great. Very enjoyable to listen and learn.
