"Any time in this type?"

Not sure if this is the right place, but in what little spare time I’ve got on the shore tour I started a podcast! The idea is to capture unique military aviation flying stories and share them with a wider audience that appreciates aviation. Since this audience (AW) is uniquely suited to poke holes, I really do appreciate any and all feedback to continue to improve:

Nice work! Initial feedback is on the background noise... just loud enough to be noticeable/distracting... also mouth noises. I presume there are voice techniques and mic placement that will minimize those. Consider a brief musical intro. Tons of royalty-free stock stuff available. That'll give your intro a memorable connection with listeners. Great content... interested to see where you take it. Liked and subscribed!
 
Thanks Brett, I truly appreciate it! You are absolutely correct that the audio quality is key and I’m working to improve the recordings each time I do them. Definitely need something other than a MH-53E APP startup noise to begin an episode, but that’s another project as well!

Additionally if there’s anyone in the Pensacola area that is interested in telling their story I’d love to make it happen. Truthfully the theme of these interviews (which I absolutely did not expect going in) is that literally everyone has to overcome something large or small to make it as a military aviator. Instinctively I knew that, but hearing specific stories makes all the difference.. It’s a real honor just to sit down and listen.

There's probably some post-processing that can be done too, on the published podcasts, to filter out some of the audible detritus.

Enjoyable podcasts!

It always entertains me how the Fallon crowd insists on the uncool name for an F-16 purely to annoy the Air Force.

Fighting Falcon? That IS the proper name for the F-16, is it not? If the normal operators of that aircraft insist on calling it something else, while also refusing to use words like "head" and "box", that's on them, not anyone in the USN...

;)
 
The original name was "Falcon" until General Dynamics was served with cease and desist by Dassault because they has a business jet with the same name.

They must have a really hard time describing the top of their ejection seats, you know.
