I’ve been listening for two years, and for me the MLPP is officially in the top tier of aviation podcasts. I am a voracious consumer of high quality aviation...”Read full review »

“I have enjoyed your show for the past 6 months or so. I've been catching up on all the episodes while driving, especially since it beats what is on the radio. So I want you all to know that it has been your encouragement and moral support that I am going to go back and start trying again. I...”Read full review »

“Even though I’m based over the pond, I heartedly recommend this ruddy marvellous podcast. Sensible real world advice that makes you realise we’re members of a club of middle aged pilots who fly for fun and share the same anxieties, highs and lows - wherever we are on the planet. Refreshingly...”Read full review »

Having no background in aviation and no friends with PPLs, this podcast is a much needed friend that gives me guidance and encouragement in this journey. I...”Read full review »

“This take on aviation, from the standpoint of a midlife pilot, has always been one of my favorite perspectives, because so many of us can relate because we are right smack dab in the middle of that audience! I've always enjoyed the show, but the new format compelled me to write a review for...”Read full review »

“I started taking flying lessons in the Fall of ‘22 at the age of 57. I stumbled across Chris Moran’s YouTube channel while looking for aviation content. That in turn led me to this podcast. It’s a 5 star pod to be sure. Chris and Brian bring excellent conversation to a group of mid (and later)...”Read full review »

“Whether you are an aviation nerd or not, this is a great show. You can watch live or as your typical podcast. I love that it’s not scripted and they start with a topic and let it ride from there. Feels like you’re in the room hanging out with them. Or maybe I just wish I was ;-)”

“Just found the podcast and loving it! I’m 37 and recently got my PPL (118hrs total as of now) with no further aspirations than recreation but may pursue the CFI as wrenching on cars breaks me down more. I can relate to so many experiences you’ve both discussed. Keep up the awesome work guys!”

“Honest content from two low hour private pilots. Useful, applicable information provided in a fun relaxed presentation.
You’ll always walk away from an episode with something helpful or encouraging.”
