Overview
For a lot of little ones, airplanes look exciting from a distance -- but awfully scary close-up! By following a nervous pair of young siblings on their way to visit their grandmother for the first time, this kid-sensitive program shows children what to expect when they fly the friendly skies, with a guided tour from a real United Airlines pilot. Get up close-and-personal views of the cockpit, the runway, the baggage claim and more.

Your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting crew continue to try their hands at a little TV Pilot Analysis with a little TransAtlantic production between an Englishwoman and a Canadian so we've got one of our own Englishwomen and our resident Canadian profiling BBC/BBC America's Killing Eve. Ellie is in the captain's chair and Ian's riding the jumpseat as he's never seen the show. It's a Whole New World as we discuss:
- Sandra Oh's previous career before joining the cast
- Ian and Ellie discuss a mutual love of all things Phoebe Waller-Bridge
- Which character of the main twosome does each member of the panel connect with more?
- What piece of dialogue required more thought than any other part? Why was this?
- What was the name of the source material? Why switch it for television?
- Ian & Ellie both share their relative strengths in speaking with accents
- Ian gives his first impressions of the series, having never seen it before
- Would we ground the Killing Eve pilot or is it Cleared for Takeoff?
