writes fantastic articles about aviation accidents. Please go check out thier content. Today's Episode is a narration of their article "" I sincerely hope there isn’t another one of these events out there, lying silently in wait, and ready to bring down an airplane that’s full of a lot more than Amazon boxes… My apologies for the terrible voice acting in the middle...

I may not make a Podcast every week, or even every month... BUT when I do, I’d like to think that it’s chock-full of actionable content, or at least really entertaining stuff. But today it’s definitely the former. And it might actually change the way medicine works for you in Aviation FINALLY. Plus a new vocab word: VOLOSAN.

David Moser from Cirrus is here to tell us all about their recent deal with United Aviate Academy. I think you’re really going to like what David has to say and I know you’re going learn a few things about the Cirrus, I know I certainly did. And the best part is the rest of the show is all about you all, and the plethora of wonderful feedback that I’ve had since the show came back on the air. Music by: Damma Beatz

Well, it’s probably time to address the elephant in the room… It’s been since August 2021 that I’ve released a podcast Episode and yes, there’s a very good reason. And that’s what today’s show is. A bit of a comeback really, but mostly just an explanation of what happened and how I’ve dealt with it. And that’s not to be somber or negative. I’m genuinely happy to be back, and I want to thank everyone who has emailed and messaged me over the last six months or so, asking what’s up, and offering genuine words of encouragement to come back. And we’ll cover most of those in...

These last few months have really been something for me. I think the best way to describe it is as a total reset. All of the hard lessons learned over the last year and a half, plus all of the great stuff too, all put back together in a new package, and with that, the show’s finally back. And with a bang because Chad’s here, and I’ve got a great reading from one of my favorite magazines that sums up “Enthusiasm” better than I ever could. So, while I was “away” I actually got a lot of feedback and emails and even a few new patrons too. And we’re going to get right to that. But...

I’ve been in a bit of a funk. Not really flying, not really participating in the industry, not really inspired to put it bluntly. And I know I’m not the only one. And it’s kinda funny, since by all counts, we’re actually coming out of this disaster time and getting the industry on the long road to recovery. Will it ever be the same. Well, probably not exactly, but who knows, maybe it’ll be better? But I finally started flying again on the regular. Every Saturday around noon you might find me in a Diamond Star somewhere over Southern California and it feels pretty good. But there were...

I think it was Bob Dylan who sang about the times, they are a changin’. And while I guess that’s always a little true, it seems like it’s especially appropriate now. And I hope it’s all good, because there are a few things that really do need a changin’ so that we can resume functionality in the industry. And particularly this is true anywhere there’s bureaucracy. Like how many times have you said something like. “Don’t we have a technology to just automate this?” And since the beginning of the pandemic, maybe you’ve said something similar like “can’t we just do this...
info_outlineWhat’s Narrative?
No, honestly what is it. And why the heck are we talking about it on an aviation podcast?! Well, because I’m repurposing content from another thing I do. No, I’m kidding… Sort of. Narrative affects everything we hear. It’s that thing news outlets have that affects how they’re going to spin a story. And if you ask me, it’s a bummer that has to be a thing at all.
Today’s a really cool episode, because we’re stepping a little outside the usual mold (as if there was one here), and pulling back the curtain a little bit. And for those in the business of making content, it’s something we struggle with sometimes.
Now, this is an aviation podcast, one in which I often promise the back story in all that we do in air world, and since aviation journalism is how we spread the word about pretty much all that happens in it, I figured an Episode like this is fair game. If you’re new here, this one’s a little different. Regular listeners will know that I’m an administrator at the 21st century aerospace communicators group, along with many notable aviation writers you’ve actually heard of, and if you’re curious, make sure to get on Facebook and request to be in the group too. Oh, and don’t forget to go back and listen to Episode 52 for more about us.
The group is led by Rob Mark, and no matter where you fall in the spectrum of civil aviation, you’ll probably be familiar with his work. He’s the Senior Editor at FLYING Magazine and the publisher of JetWhine.com, long time Airplane Geek over at the Airplane Geeks Podcast, Graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern, but most importantly of all, frequent guest on this show….
Ok maybe that’s not the most important part, but he’s back today because we really wanted to tackle a topic that’s an underlying part of just about everything we read, hear, and watch in the news, aviation or not: Narrative
It’s a simple word, and it’s defined by (Dictionary.com): a representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to an overarching set of aims or values.
But the implications of it are huge. It’s part of the entire brand of a news outlet. And, if you ask me, or anybody really, it often gets taken too far. To the point that things are straight up twisted to make a story pan out a certain way. And then twisted a little further to get more re-tweets…
