Doug and Drew do a fantastic job of touching on the latest news, AvGeek interests, and insights from their unique perspectives within the commercial airline industry.
I first came across Doug and Drew about 4 or so months ago. I love their insight from different angles of the aviation industry.
Despite a current news overlay on each episode, it’s incredibly entertaining to go back and listen to all the episodes in the archive. And the weekly drop is like a weekly gift.
