“I’m biased because I’m the father of historian and host Tom Betti, but I must say…I’m very very proud of his work! What Tom is able to do is explore 20th century world history through the prism of an American international airline. This podcast is an incredible educational program, but it’s also...”Read full review »

“I loved your summation Tom about why study history… as a history major who now works for an airline. I think to me something that makes the 20th century different is the worldwide connections that were now easy because of the travel that was now so readily available. The people that could...”Read full review »

“This podcast does an excellent job of telling the stories of Pan Am but it also contextualizes them in that period in time. I enjoy the format - factual reporting about an aspect of the airline followed by an interview that adds detail.”

“I have listened to all of the Pan Am podcast, with great appreciation and amazement. However, Episode Six raises the bar to an even higher and extraordinary level. Captain Paul Lachapelle’s account of Flight 93 is both riveting and inspiring, while adding a lite dose of unique (yet typical) pilot...”Read full review »

“Absolutely fascinating podcast which I discovered from an Instagram post. I did fly Pan Am once in 1986 and it was such a shame that such an inconic airline failed so this podcast- and the museum (which I will visit one day) keeps the name and rich heritage alive.”
