- 5 Stars and a future Vegas Date
If you're even remotely into aviation — or just enjoy stories that make you laugh, cringe, and question humanity's ability to operate heavy machinery in the sky — the Captain John Doe Podcast is pure gold. Kevin and Mindy have created the aviation equivalent of sitting at the airport bar with your funniest, most knowledgeable pilot friends who somehow make every tale better with their banter.

Kevin told me I had to leave 5 stars on the podcast. No in all seriousness, these two are great to listen to and I love the different perspectives on the aviation community! Great job both of you!
Apple Podcasts5RVATechGuyUnited Statesa month ago - Informative and lighthearted
If you’re looking for good information, current events, and amazing anonymous stories from the world of aviation look no farther. Captain John Doe is a standout among aviation podcasts. Arguably the best part is the rapport between the hosts. Kevin and Mindy reflect well on aviation, and maybe even more importantly on marriage. Truly a fun lesson. Binging it right now.
