Full disclosure, I’ve listened to the show for a couple of years and I haven’t financially contributed. So, maybe my opinion does not have much value… However, I just wanted to say that I was thrown off by Max’s snarkiness in episode #353. Max has always seemed to me like an even keeled,...Read full review »

I'm really torn in regards to this podcast: on one end the content and the production level is pretty good. On the other end, I find the pan handling, the gilt tripping and the use of misleading statements insufferable. I listen to a lot of podcast and this got to be the one where the host...Read full review »

Max, I'm humbled that you took time to respond to my review. Your response was thoughtful, professional, and illuminating--as is everything that you do on your podcast. I understand your perspective now on the use of "customer" and my preferred term "student pilot." I think...Read full review »

Fantastic podcast, I learn something new every episode. And he’s not pretentious like so many other aviation “content creators”. Max also has a great radio voice, sounds like he could be on NPR.

It is easy to understand why Max has been recognized as flight instructor of the year. His insights are an education. Max is serving the aviation community and listeners vote with they donations.

He’s real angry. It’s like he left a review on the wrong podcast. Max your stuff is great. Maybe he was looking for a union buster podcast?

Thoroughly enjoying this podcast! Thanks so much for sharing great content!

You are not someone I’d want to fly 40 years with, or even around the patch. You made me say a bad word, out loud, several times at the inaneness of this interview. You deserved to be booted from the flight with your “1K?” Status. Should have kept your mouth shut, and relocated yourselves upon...Read full review »

I am an aspiring pilot, and have lots of friends who are pilots. My friends are amazed by my knowledge about aviation without being a pilot myself. I review a lot of content from you tube and podcast but feel that your podcast is mainly responsible for all my knowledge. Keep up the good work and...Read full review »

As a student/low-time pilot, I have been listening to Max’s podcast since the beginning of my training journey and have learned SO much. He is clearly a great CFI with a wealth of knowledge to share, and the same can be said for all of his guests. The topics are wide ranging and usually apply to...Read full review »

The interview with Alan Brown (ep 235) was marvelous! I will definitely keep this show in my subscriptions.
Mike Tierney - BreakRight! via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/13/22
Aside from always being informative, you gotta love the voice. I can honestly say that Max has peaked my interest in becoming a CFI.

I’m not normally a podcast fan, but this one is direct, with intelligent discussions that avoid fluff. The insights and topics are excellent lessons for inexperienced pilots, or great reminders for more experienced flyers.
Marksman42 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/15/22
I have been reading Max’s books since training in a Diamond DA 40 decades ago. I have been impressed by his down to earth demeanor and ease of following along. I still have a CD of the G-1000 software somewhere in my box if things. Listening to him on the geeks podcast was always a treat, since...Read full review »

Absolutely the best aviation podcast! Max puts aviation in simple terms that anyone can understand while covering a multitude of subjects. You can hear his smile in every podcast. A must listen!

Safety, general Aviation information tips
Philenain via Apple Podcasts · France · 02/10/21
A non-political podcast that updates you with news, discusses aviation issues, and has special segments that cover other information areas related to flying. Highly recommended for pilots and students too.

I may be only 13 years old but I hope to be a pilot when I grow up so I listen and get as much information as I can. Thanks
piper cub 🛩 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/30/20
Very informative tips and interviews - something there for everyone from a student pilot to experienced IFR or CFI. The host (Max) produces a professional quality show. If you are a pilot you owe it to yourself to at least check out this this podcast.

I am an owner operator of a CJ. I found this podcast forwarded by a fellow jet driver. Max does a fantastic job reminding me of tips and rules of the road. In my annual training in the sims, we never go back over the basics. I listen daily on the elliptical and it makes the time fly. I have...Read full review »

Listened for the first time on my way home from work today. Love the format and content. You have earned a regular listener.

Max, your podcast is very well done. Good info, delivered efficiently (not tons of idle talking). You make it very interesting. Great job!
Mike M in Scottsdale via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/18/19
This is a great podcast for anyone interested in GA flying or just the aviation world in general. The news is summed up well and Max provides very informative safety articles that go into depth on important topics. Quite a professional feel to the whole podcast- less like a talk-show and more...Read full review »

As a general aviation pilot, I truly value the insights I gain from listening to this podcast. The content is relevant, well put together, and very educational. I look forward to episodes each week and truly believe the information I receive will make me a better pilot.

As someone with a lifelong goal of flying who obtained his certificate about a year ago and is now at about 250 hours, I can tell you Aviation NewsTalk has been a terrific learning tool. Aviation NewsTalk has allowed me to listen and learn while doing other things around the house and/or during...Read full review »
#Aviator# via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/16/19
I subscribe to just about every aviation (as well as other subject matter) podcast out there and Aviation News Talk is by far the best! Max is a seasoned pilot and is excellent at explaining very complicated aviation subjects in simple terms. He has a very heavy foucus on safety concerns with no...Read full review »

I have listened since the beginning and have found it educational and Max so easy to listen to. I am a sport pilot and own an LSA so the IFR information I will never be able to use but I find it interesting all the same. The information on CO poisoning was an eye opener. Thank you for your great...Read full review »
