As a newer resident of Knoxville this has become one of my favorite ways to learn about my new home! I look forward to new episodes. Thank you for doing this!
Apple Podcasts5Alesnie13United States7 years ago - The best airport podcast!
As someone who loves ALL of the aviation industry and is constantly monitoring TYS airport, this podcast is amazing! This podcast informs me on what’s going at TYS and what’s going on with the community outside of TYS airport! Great podcast!
Apple Podcasts5Tomstanley__United States7 years ago - Such a smart idea!
I love learning about all the behind-the-scenes, cool stuff Caitlin and Becky talk about each episode. The conversations are fun and natural, and the guests always bring an interesting perspective. I feel like I know everything going on at TYS (and the communities around it) and can’t wait to visit the airport again sometime soon. I wish my local airport had a podcast — but it still wouldn’t be as entertaining as this one!
