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 to conclude WrestleMania week with NBC's Young Rock. Ian is at the wheel whilst Georgia is trying to learn the route as we go through a trilogy of Dwayne Johnson mini-stories.  We're having a more organic discussion than Dwayne & Randall Park as we discuss:

  • Which of the young actors playing Dwayne was our favourite and which wasn't
  • How Ian would fix the writing of one of the storylines
  • Whether this whole thing is a Dwayne Johnson vanity project
  • Ian teaches some wrestling vernacular
  • We share some thoughts about celebrities in politics
  • Would we ground the Young Rock pilot or is it Cleared for Takeoff?
