United Statesa month ago - 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.
Apple Podcasts5WildgardenerUnited States2 months ago - Laid back, funny, educational
I really like listening to this podcast because a lot of times aviation podcasts can be very serious. It's great to see a side of piloting that is more casual and funny, but still providing opportunities to learn. The things you learn may be things like: make sure you bring barf bags or wag bags on the plane 😂, rather than disecting a grim accident report. The relatively short episode format is also appreciated, it never feels like a slog.
