The podcast for AVGeeks!

Joanna and Tom host a wonderfully informative and entertaining aviation podcast. As a fellow A380 lover I always love Tom’s updates. This is a really great overview of the latest news from all over the world. I simply love it!

Hosts voices sound like drowning in saliva

Sorry if this is blunt and it’s not related to the content at all.

I want to listen to this show for the subject, but I CANNOT stand the voices of both the main male and female hosts. Not familiar with what local British accents they have but somehow they’re so grating aurally beyond a typical London BBC voice. The lad sounds so nasally and like he’s holding his breath, but then every other sentence he has to deliberately breath and swallow! Swallowing his saliva that he’s drowning in?? The poor cohost isn’t any better and her shrill voice makes me need to turn the volume down so as not to bleed my eardrums.

I like the podcast content, so could the producers help these hosts with their vocals? Get a coach? Just some filters?

Totally not trying to be mean, just real. Thanks!

Great podcast!

Really informative! And I am glad some airlines are bringing back the a380. Keep up the great work!
