“I listened to one of their earliest episodes and was put off by the giggling, which after reading reviews it seems others are as well. I thought that things would get better, but even recent episodes include the same and worse. What is worse is that they liken these events to “true crime” stories and in doing so seem to perceive these events as entertainment. People died or were seriously injured - physically, psychologically, or both. These are not true crime stories for entertainment. The repeated laughing and giggling further disrespects the incidents and the people impacted by them. I understand that this is a layperson’s podcast about air disasters, so I am not expecting long, technical explanations or a treatise into aviation and human factors psychology/engineering. The podcasts Inside the Black Box and to some extent, Causality do this wonderfully. Michael Bauer’s Plane Crash Podcast is a far superior layperson’s podcast and does so with the utmost respect for the dignity of those who passed away and their family members. The creators of Take to the Sky should do some soul searching and have more respect for those who were impacted by these incidents.”
