  • I love this podcast and I’m not in the industry!

    So, I am not in the airline industry but I love planes and learning new things. I downloaded Flight Radar 24 years ago and subsequently learned about this podcast a couple years ago and have not looked back. I have learned so much more about the industry and am entertained to boot. I have started listening to other industry podcasts as a result but this one is my favorite by far. Keep up the great content!
