I really liked the show until they brought in their political opinions so they will be part of the “cancel culture” too bad you three blew it you could have been the best.
This podcast is overall great I love it. I have listened to almost all of the episodes in 4 months and I love aviation. One piece of info I have for new listeners is whenever there’s a Maranda rage warning the crash will be because someone did something stupid which led the plane to crash.
I changed my rating due to a political message in a semi-recent episode. I listen to this podcast not for political statements, I have a news podcast for that.
I have always listened to true crime podcast. I have found a few airliner podcasts and now I’m hooked. It is all I listen to now and HL is such a great one.

And good grief, we're going to now complain about who flies in, or retains aircraft, and have to Critique... more
