A good podcast with good info, and not too much needless chatter. I Just have to be that person who points out that even though cutting a tracheostomy is overly used in tv , there are cases where the heimlich and other manoeuvres don’t work.

My eyes almost rolled out my head when the very first thing you mention about Jury Duty is how it is problematic. Good lord if you cant enjoy that light-hearted show I’m not sure what might actually like. The concerns didnt even make sense given that that they go out of their way to make Ronald look like a great guy the entire time.
I am thoroughly enjoying listening on my 30 min commute to work and home. Trying to gain as much knowledge as possible.From 6/20/16 beyond your private pilot certificate and later it states there is not a secure connection so it won't play on audible. Please fix so I may continue.

I am preparing for my Private Pilot for recreational flying and find this podcast an absolute must for building on what the book says and solidifying the knowledge making me a better future pilot. These and other fantastic series are also available on Youtube.

Concise, humorous reviews of television pilots help viewers decide what to watch next. Regular hosts BJ and Mitu compare each pilot's premise, performances, pacing, tone, and storytelling, then give a clear watch-again verdict.

Their discussions balance specific criticism with personal reactions, playful banter, and attention to what a pilot does or does not set up for a full series. The format suits viewers who want an entertaining, time-saving guide before committing to a new show, as well as TV fans interested in how pilots introduce characters, worlds, and ongoing storylines.
