Good effort, but...
I have to say that I wasn't terribly impressed. I'm an active-duty Naval Officer, and I found the aircraft carrier podcast almost unlistenable and rife with errors. Carrier squadrons aren't commanded by majors -- in fairness to the author, a major may serve as the XO of a USMC squadron embarked with a carrier air wing, but generally USN squadron COs and XOs hold the rank of commander; we don't have majors in the Navy. No mention was made of the Battle of Taranto, one of the earliest battles of naval aviation and a major influence on Japanese attack plans before Pearl Harbor. The USN has 11 carriers, not 15. (I would have accepted 12 as well, given the recent decommissioning of the JFK.) And so on and so forth. This gentleman has clearly put some good effort into this podcast, but I can't recommend it based on what I've heard.

What should be exciting and...Read full review »

I subscribed eagerly to this podcast but found the host's reading style terribly dull and boring. I haven't been able to get past the first few minutes - it is excruciatingly lifeless and dull. The 'cast would be much better presented by someone with expertise in broadcasting, or at the very...Read full review »
