“I’m deathly afraid of flying and yet this is one of my favorite podcasts. It helps my anxiety to learn the many steps that the aviation industry takes to improve safety after a crash. Gus’s enthusiasm for aviation is genuinely infectious, and I love Chris’s questions and commentary. Also side...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast. Gus is able to break down the technical information in ways we can all understand. Gus and Chris have a great chemistry and work well together in telling the story.
Please don’t stop now! I know there is more to share on our airplane safety.”

I am leaving also, have a nice flight ✈️🛩️”

“Thanks for this podcast guys - it is fascinating stuff. Really appreciate your time and effort! Also I’d be really interested to see if you think the loss of the BSAA Avro Lancastrian Star Dust in 1947 is worthy of a show… it’s a real mystery… surrounded with conspiracy theories…”

“Hey guys, I enjoy this podcast so much! I’ve always been interested in plane crash investigations (a bit bizarre as I am flight crew) and you guys do such a great job of explaining incidents. You guys have gotten me through some dreaded long winter dog walks - you made them bearable! Thanks so much!”

“Black box down is such a compelling podcast with great expert analysis of a wide range of aviation incidents. Gus and Chris have a great rapport and effortless style. I feel strangely reassured about flying when you hear just how many things have to go wrong for a crash to happen.”

“Love the podcast. Just started recently and so glad I did. I love the combo of a lay person and someone who’s basically becoming an expert. People don’t understand why Chris is on the show but they need to understand he is basically on the show to be one of us. It’s a great combo to have.”

“You do realise that you miss half of your potential audience by promoting man scaping products? It really really makes me want to shut the pod off.

“Like the main man of this show, Gus, I’ve a keen interest in civil aviation. I think Gus is really knowledgeable; by contrast, Chris asks the most unbelievably dumb questions. Some reviewers have suggested it’s an act, but I’m not so sure. Either way, Chris adds nothing to the show and should be...”Read full review »

“The co-host adds absolutely nothing here. Just inserts stupid questions with an off putting tone that distracts from the story. Example: (there’s a low oil pressure light) co-host: “so there’s like a tank of oil that distributes oil on the gears orrrrr….???”
Lots of examples of dumb...”Read full review »

“Ordinarily people with zero expertise or knowledge in a technical area would resist offering opinion, insight, understanding, and conclusion. No problem here though! And let’s throw in some bad acting too.
The only data offered by the hosts is confirmation of their idiocy.”

“Love the podcast, listen to an episode everyday on the way to work….and back home (45 minutes each way). But it does drive me crazy on some of the ridiculous tangents usually the cohosts go off on. I’m hooked though. Gus should do this podcast alone. Chris continues to add zer0 to this podcast.”

I now realise that being involved in a plane...”Read full review »

I'm...”Read full review »
