Customer Reviews
Awesome Podcast, Almost “Interactive”
This podcast covers a wide range of aviation stories, and the casual feel makes it feel like I’m sitting with them having a fun conversation. It could almost be advertised as “interactive” ;)
Twitter comments are disappointing
I’ve listened for years and will likely continue to do so. Recent comments about Twitter are disappointing. The show has always been very neutral politically - as it should be. Their disappointment about Twitter and questioning if it will be around reflect a nauseatingly arrogant viewpoint that seems to indicate that they have lost touch with the audience. Common guys, lets be grown up and show some tolerance for other viewpoints.
Enough already
Sorry to see that you are still mailing it in. The interviews are a big yawn.
I suggest getting back to work.
