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 the Apple TV Emmy Award Winner, Ted Lasso. Ethan is at the wheel whilst Ian is trying to learn the route.  We're trying to grab some sleep on the flight (not while piloting the plane, mind you) but we're still gonna discuss:

  • Our feelings towards F.A. Premiership Football and how we chose our respective teams
  • Some UK/US confusions
  • We go back over the soda stream experience 
  • We wonder if Ted Lasso is just a likeable Michael Scott
  • We try to explain to the international audience what Lucozade is
  • Ian gushes a little over Mumford & Sons
  • Would we ground the Ted Lasso pilot or is it Cleared for Takeoff?
