Customer Reviews
I love this show!
I love this show and look forward to seeing a new episode. I listen to this well I work. I gave a 4 star review due to I get sad when an episode ends. The episodes are kinda short I hope they can make the episodes longer. Apart from that great job and keep it up!
Great content!
great content! I enjoy listening to these two talk aviation and its hurdles. This podcast is well thought out. Looking forward to every single new episode.
Good content, one criticism
Good discussion of the major news stories in this industry, but I have one nitpick: cohosts are absolutely insufferable when it comes to grunting / moaning / “mhm”-ing in acknowledgement of agreement when someone else is speaking. It is distracting and frustrating to listen to and the production would benefit from muting whatever host is not actively speaking when they record.
