Great podcast until….
Love your show, I don’t love hearing your commentary on politics. Stick to aviation and leave politics to other podcasts.

AvTalk Rules!
Hello Mr. Jason & Mr. Ian, I am an Avgeek and when me & my friend had have free time, we go on flightradar24 for like almost an hour and I would do it before my classes start & my teacher gets mad but everybody else likes it. Once I told the whole grade to get on flightradar24 and track a plane. Matter of fact, 😂 we got a plane to the #3 Most tracked plane on flightradar24. I can’t remember if it was flightradar24 or ADS-B exchange that I found the VC-25 AF1 when trump flew in to the Middle East. Love your pod, if I could I would make it like 1,000,000,000,000 stars out of 5. (btw, I really like sky cards as well)

Best pod ever
Keep up the great work guys! Thank you for putting in the effort and time to make the show.
Avtalk is great
Jason makes the Podcast!
I have to say, the knowledge that you guys have and how you bring it to the pod is such a pleasure! Jason is an incredible podcast host I look forward to listening to every episode

Been listening to AvTalk since the first episode and can’t wait for Friday mornings for each new episode. They’re great at presenting relevant information, they constantly choose great topics, and they’re just fun to listen to. You can tell the effort they put into their stories and their show. 10/10 would recommend.

Jason is great
And so is Ian. The podcast is about planes, not rose colored glasses and little angry snowflakes.
They cover topics I’m interested in every week!

Jason is so annoying
Great podcast but I’m really getting tired of Jason. Half of the podcast now is just Jason complaining and whining about stuff mainly about Boeing. Of course, he’s not supposed to talk about politics but he’s always complaining about political stuff and he does something really annoying where he doesn’t straight up say his opinions but makes it very clear. Then he whines on and on about the smallest issues with Boeing. Ian is very good though and this would be 5 stars if he could teach Jason how to act more mature

Like the 747, All Good Things Must Come to an End
Well, despite my previous review (below) I continued to listen in the hopes that things would improve. They have not, and I hate it.
The content is great, but Jason’s eternal negative attitude has finally pushed me to the point that at the end of each episode I just wonder to myself if life is even worth living anymore.
wish you guys the best of luck and I will still be a faithful user of FR24, but I just can’t listen to the podcast anymore.
Previous Review
I have previously given AvTalk good reviews because the content was good and informative, but here of late the show has turned into more of a whining complain fest from Ian and Jason.
I’ve tried very hard to continue listening, but when the majority of the content is Jason complaining about this thing or that, I’m starting to lose interest.
Perhaps it’s time to change the title of the show to something a little more accurate; AvComplain perhaps. So sad to see a good podcast go down.

I try to like them, but the hate of Boeing and the U.S. government is overwhelming
I try to like the guys but the hate of Boeing and the U.S. government has become overwhelming

Come on y’all
LEAVE YOUR POLITICAL VEIWS OUT OF THIS PODCAST!!!! The pilot of the black hawk helicopter was a DEI hire and was unqualified for the job. The president Donald Trump had every right to speculate if the pilot was where he/she/it (can we even tell at this point?) was supposed to be! Stop slandering trump! I love this podcast but when y’all yap about “I’m which he opines” stop using fancy words and admit that you dislike trump and what he stands for. Talk about planes, not the president!

Hear me out…
I’m a weird case of an aviation fan but I’m absolutely terrified of flying(don’t ask), anyway, your show is awesome and very informative and I subscribed instantly. There’s another podcast called “Last Days” where the two hosts tastefully cover the life and death of a celebrity each week and you guys sound like the two hosts of that particular podcast, except for aviation. The cadence and voices are similar to me and just overall easy to listen to. That’s a compliment for sure. Keep it up!

Great for anyone interested in commercial aviation
Fantastic hosts that go into enough detail to be interesting but not too much to be dry from an outside perspective of the industry. Been a very happy listener for many years — thank you Ian and Jason!

Love it
Honestly the best and easy to understand for people who don’t know their airplanes, yet also useful for aviation enthusiasts who just want to be kept up to date.

Licensed?
As a 35 year military and airline pilot I appreciate your efforts and content. Question: are either of the hosts licensed pilots?
Thank You.

Episode 276 Delta
They talked about food poisoning on episode 276 on the delta flight. Literally a day before that happened, I was on a cross Atlantic flight in delta and me and a few others got severe food poisoning after eating the in flight meal. I still love delta but after hearing this and what happened to me, I’m going to be a little more cautious with inflight food.

Episode Idea
Can u guys make an episode on the collapse of a hanger in progress at Boise airport? And the Air Canada Emergency landing at Boise too.

Best Aviation Podcast out there
Truly is the best. Always fills me in on the news of the week

Aviation News for Aviation Nerds
Great show for aviation nerds who are not necessarily pilots. Covers aviation news from around the world. Their humor is a little “too clean”, but I’ll deal with it. 😃

Greatest podcast out there.
I am a data-provider for FR24, and stumbled upon this podcast/newsletter early in my early days of using FR24. I’ve listened to every episode since. Content is great and shows both sides, and gives me all I need to know. Very appealing. Thanks Avtalk!

My favourite part of the week
I fly for work every week and this podcast usually releases in time for me to listen while I fly. Best aerospace related podcast.
Chānel
Fantastic
If you fly on planes, if you fly planes, if you just like looking at planes this is the podcast for you. The hosts are well spoken and very educated on the topics they cover. Highly recommend.
CHRISTOPHERMISTOPHER
Very informative
This is one podcast that is very enjoyable to listen to. The content is quite informative especially for avgeeks but also helpful for your regular Joe Schmoe.

Favorite Friday Podcast
Thoroughly enjoy the show. Highly recommend for those interested in the aviation industry at any level.
Thanks Tim Bloke

Never miss an episode
Ian and Jason plan well and deliver information that debunks a lot of the MISinformation from the mainstream media.

The best
Very informative engaging in fun to listen to! Its the highlight of my week! 😀

Fun and fascinating
The guys blend knowledge, humor, information, and snark in equal measure to make a podcast perfect for everyone interested in aviation, even slightly or tangentially. I’ve learned so much ‘binge-listening’ over the last few months. Also check out their website and YouTube Handel, equally great.

Great! Great!
Great podcast! Both great hosts. Nothing more to say than this is a perfect pod-cast along with the Simple flying Podcast!

A very fun and informative podcast
I’m not a pilot, I don’t work in aviation. All I know, I’ve learned from this podcast. I started listening when the Max 8 MCAS-related crashes peaked my interest in what was going on. I’ve listened to every single episode since. These guys have very different but unique personalities that makes the show fun, entertaining and highly informative. I highly recommend!!! As a result of listening, I also was inspired to start feeding 1090Mhz ADSB data as well. I’ve had a lot of fun with that too :)

Always a great listen
There are lots of Avgeek podcasts and most are a bit dry. This is a bit like “Car Talk” of the airline world, where the rapport and passion combine to make the show really stand out.

Best AvGeek podcast
These two guys and Flightradar24 produce the most informative and engaging podcast. I have been a listener for over three years. Look forward to each new episode to drop

Loved the last episode!
Ian,
Just listened to your episode, and wow. Heartfelt doesn't even cut it. Your stories about your dad were...well, just magical. It's clear you two had something special. Thanks for sharing it with the world. ❤️
Keeping you in my thoughts.

Excellent/plus my two cents.
Top tier aviation podcast. I have read some reviews about people not understanding inside jokes and how much sarcasm there is. Let me give my two cents if it matters. This is an aviation podcast meant for avid aviation geeks. They expect you to know and follow aviation. If you don’t, there are great beginner airplane nerd podcasts out there. The hosts don’t need to dumb it down to the 1% or less of listeners who don’t get it. You two are doing an amazing and informative job. I absolutely LOVE the episodes when Steve Giordano is on. He’s one of the best out there. An absolute wealth of knowledge. More of him please! Keep up the excellent work!

Remain apolitical
I used to be a regular listener. But when one of the hosts ignorantly lectured us listeners about getting an experimental health procedure done (who knows, he might be a health professional on the side), I stopped listening. After a couple of years I thought I’d give them another try. The very first episode I chose to listen to and, again, I had to listen to his anti-gun rant. Keep your political views to yourself. Not everybody shares your naive, idealistic views

I’m so over your rants.
Great podcast
Of all the aviation podcasts out there, this one is the best. Well done!

Best podcast!
Hands down the best podcast! Great content every single week!. I look forward to a new episode weekly. Jason and Ian are full of knowledge.

I would lower the sarcasm / inside joke factor
I enjoy this podcast, but have enjoyed it less recently. As an interested, but novice, aviation observer, I feel like an outsider at times when listening to this podcast. There are several sarcastic or inside jokes that never get explained. (I don’t know why Norse is not Norwegian) Instead of learning something, I’m simply uncertain what point the hosts were trying to share. The recaps on aviation incidents are my favorite, and are least susceptible to the inside jokes. When the hosts discuss aircraft types and airlines, they venture into sarcastic moans and groans that never get explained.

Great Aviation News Podcast
FlightRadar24 is easily my favorite app, and this is one of my favorite aviation news podcasts. And you can listen at 2x speed without losing audio quality!
Maryland_Planespotter
Awesome Podcast!
This podcast catches you up on everything in the aviation world in an entertaining way. They go into depth with everything and are very thorough unlike other aviation podcasts. They also add their personal opinions on subjects as well. I would recommend this podcast to people just breaking into the aviation space and people who are experienced in the aviation space. Love this podcast!!

I love hearing these guys discuss recent aviation news. They pull back the veil on press releases and give interesting perspective.

Great for the casual flyer to those who can identify an aircraft ‘by ear’
I have been listening to this podcast since the early days. I have a friend who is an A380 captain. He told me one time “You know more about this industry than most of my First Officers!” AvTalk is my source for quality, trusted aircraft industry news (sometimes mixed with a little fit of fun/rumor).
Keep it up Ian and Jason!
