- Great Storytelling and FUN!
While driving my preteen sons around, we have listened to every episode. Not surprisingly, my sons love all the bathroom humor as well as all the aviation knowledge that Kevin and Mindy impart. Wonderful podcast hosts, great storytelling, keep up the great work. This is a fun podcast that is just a delight to listen to.

The relatively short episode format is also appreciated, it never feels like a slog.

For every pilot this is a must listen to show. Mindy and Kevin are wonderful in general, but in this show they have curated the best anonymous stories that you can both learn from and laugh about. Just be aware people will think it’s odd that you are laughing to yourself on your drive, walk or where you listen to your podcasts.

Great content, great delivery. The podcast consistently brings a high level of insight, energy, and authenticity that keeps you locked in from start to finish.
Also hoping I can make it out to Vegas for a sightseeing flight with Kevin before he gets called up to the big leagues.
