Rare Bear Scare

This is what happened to the Rare Bear this year at the Reno Air Races.  I could explain what happened here in these notes, but it's better to hear the story as it unfolds ...

The sickest episode yet!

... hear about a disgusting flight attendant trick ... take a trip inside the unofficial Vomit Comet ... plus hear another visit from Fly Guy.

The "Cadet Barf" story features music from Kevin Ross (Found at garageband.com)

Never Say Die

This episode is a continuation of the theme from Episode 19 -- what happens when people have medical emergencies in flight.  I speak with a doctor, a nurse, a flight attendant, and ... Jeanne. 

Medical Emergencies in Flight -- Eye watering tales from 30,000 feet.

Music by Bernhard Drax  His other site: Drax

Also, a message from SCAN Foundation:  check out the fun walk/run on May 24th in Atlanta.

In the Public Eye ...

Stories of flight crew members who find themselves in the public eye , like one flight attendant who worked for National Airlines during their "Fly Me" ad campaign, and another who is a working actress.

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 -at- gmail.com  if you want to hear more.

---> OK, OK, here it is --  more from Kat on Youtube.  (This is different from what's in the podcast.)

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.

I get back to my podcasting roots in this episode, and it feels like I'm starting from scratch ... almost.   You'll hear people telling about various first experiences -- good, bad, and funny --  and how they were affected by them. Enjoy!

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 performances) by Sue from the Singing Skysisters, and you can download them here:

You can email the Singing Skysisters at Skysisters@gmail.com
