The interviews and the people are filled with everything I miss about aviation when I’m not flying. Halsey is a top notch host and makes the guests feel welcome to share their stories. I love how he’s serving the industry!
This podcast gets better and better with every episode! Must listen if you’re a helicopter aviator or just interested in helicopters! Keep up the good work!
There is no better podcast in the industry! Halsey is an incredible host that takes listeners on an incredible journey with him and his guests. Cannot recommend this podcast more!
I only started listening to The Helicopter Podcast a few months ago and needless to
say, I’m hooked. It’s such a great way to learn more about this very niche industry and get insights into all the cool things pilots get up to. Halsey’s not only an awesome host but is also very responsive and helpful to any one who reaches out to him for advice (basing it on my personal experience). Thank you so much for all your help Halsey and please keep up the good work!
Halsey and his podcast have been extremely helpful and informative as I dip my toe into the world of heli pilots and the jobs they do. It’s been a great resource and it’s an easy listen! Great variety of guests as well.
