How Does an Airplane (really) fly?

You may think you know the answer to this question, but you might be surprised to hear what I learned while producing this episode. I worked together with Markus Voelter (omega tau podcast) to explore the question more accurately.

If you don't already know the answer to this question, or aren't too technically inclined, don't worry. We try to simplify it enough to give you a good idea of what's...

A Special Insight Into the TSA Watch List

This is not a full episode, but rather a quick update with a special announcement, as well as an interview with a pilot who tells a rather surprising story about the watch list. 

The special announcement is this:  I'm planning to do a live video broadcast via Ustream some time in the near future.  I'll post updates about it on Twitter:  http://twitter.com/Joe_dEon

When I Grow Up

Becoming a pilot is not an easy path, and it takes motivation. Here are three true stories (and one totally made up one) about what motivated some of us to become pilots:

Ira went to England as a child ... never suspecting how the adventure would change his life's path ...

Kenya found herself on the wrong path, and needed someone to give her an ext...

Delta Airlines' latest safety video has been getting a lot of hits on Youtube, and "Deltalina" is the reason.  I talk with Chris Babb, the creator of the video, and with Katherine "Kat" Lee, the flight attendant who is featured in the video.  Kat has gotten the nickname "Deltalina" because she looks like Angelina Jolie.

I have parts of the interview that I didn't use in this short piece -- send me an email at joepodcaster ...

Ever seen somebody get so out of control on a flight they were arrested after landing? How about two arrests in the same flight? These are some amazing stories -- even a pilot gets arrested and tells about it.

Singing Skysisters and Season Two

If you heard my NPR piece about mergers today, you heard the Singing Skysisters.  Well, there's more from them in this short episode as well as an announcement by me about my upcoming podcasts -- basically what I say is I'm creating a "podcast season" for myself to avoid podfading.  So new episodes are coming March 1!

I also recorded solo performances (impromptu, on-the-road perfo...

For the 60th anniversary of the first supersonic flight, I had a slightly different take on the story than some other people had.

Here's the story on NPR - my part comes after the Chuck Yeager piece.

Almost Famous ... I score some interviews with some celebrities in an effort to shamelessly boost my own popularity.  I'm not any more famous for the effort, but I did learn a few things along the way.
