Endlessly fascinating
Aviatrix Book Review by Elizabeth Booker shares the fascinating stories of women in aviation and the behind-the-scenes process and viewpoints of the authors who tell these stories. The interview terrain is wide ranging. Covering the gamut from the stories of pioneers like Bessie Coleman (who in 1921 became the first African American woman to earn a pilot’s license) and many other “firsts”, to Hitler’s aviatrixes in WWII, to the obstacles faced by women pilots inside and outside the cockpit. Exploring the inside story of the challenges of telling these stories and the authors’ triumphs and unique viewpoints reveal a hidden world within an already niche topic. Booker does a superb job of interviewing. With an extensive background as a pilot herself, she asks informed, thoughtful, curious questions. Showing an uncanny understanding of the questions readers might have, she sometimes challenges why an author included or excluded certain material, which opens intriguing avenues of exploration for the listener. The interviews are as spellbinding as the books being discussed.

These podcasts offer something for everyone - the aviation enthusiast, the history nerd (me), the book lover, and the writer. I really like how the content is broken down into conversations with the author about the book itself, and also the “Writers’ Room” interviews, that focus on the craft.
