Episode 141: Interviews From Oshkosh; Air Venture

Welcome to Episode 141 of The Journey Is The Reward ! On this episode, Micah and Brian are bringing you on-the-ground, high-flying coverage straight from the flight line at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh ! With a mountain of field recordings to get through—and the guys determined not to turn Oshkosh into another six-episode Singapore Airshow mega-series—Listener Lu’s question is held in a temporary holding pattern until next time. However, the guys make room on the runway to respond to listener feedback from Listener Jim and Chef Kathy . Before rolling the tapes, Brian shares his first-hand observations from the grounds: Oshkosh is massive, the aviation crowd is exceptionally friendly, and—perhaps most importantly for event logistics—the port-a-potties are shockingly clean. From there, Brian brings us right into the action with an impressive lineup of field interviews and recordings, featuring: Jack Pelton , President of the EAA. Lydon from eVTOL pioneer Joby Aviation . Mike from Factory Direct Models . Capt. Dan from the iconic Goodyear Blimp . Plus, an exclusive interview with the proud owner of a classic Cessna 195 ! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the stories. Because around here, the journey is the reward . As always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir ! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingstone Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic. You can always find the audio recording at www.thejourneyisthereward.org .
