    Stay off the politics. We get you don’t like Trump. Talk about anything aviation related that doesn’t include politics. Jeez

  • Unlistenable

    The hosts are not engaging. Very sleepy.

    I’ve listened to two shows and won’t listen to anymore. The hosts apparently can’t help themselves from letting their political opinions not so subtly slip into reading the news.
