Cool podcast format!

I’ve never heard a podcast quite like this one - the tone, info, and story-telling style are unique. Loved learning about the history of aerospace in my hometown!

Narrative and audio genius!

Hidden Los Angeles history from the people who lived it. The sound design of the podcast takes you there like looking at good art, Valley of Smoke makes you forget what is happening around you and takes you to an LA you want to know more about.
