Tune in to hear real stories from flight attendants and pilots as they tell what goes on behind the galley curtain (and behind the cockpit door).
This is the audio portion of the last live show I did on April 29. You can watch the video of it here.  The next live show is on May 13 at 5:00 PM Pacific time. Watch here.
My guest will be pilot/author Alex Stone. We will discuss his darkly comic "Hauling Checks" - a novel that takes the reader inside the world of the nighttime, shady operators of "Checkflight", a fictitious, but not entirely unrealistic, company of bad actors in the aviation world. It's part "Catch-22", part "Fear and Loathing..." and nothing like any of the "Fly With Me" stories I produce. This should be a fun one! Oh - the first two callers to the show via Skype will receive a free copy of Alex's book!
(or you can buy one yourself at www.hauligchecks.com)
I've scheduled two more live shows:
Join us at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/fly-with-me-live :
March 20 at 1:00 PM Pacific time with Patrick Smith, author of Salon.com's Ask The Pilot
April 10 at 1:00 PM Pacific time with Chris Christensen of the Amateur Traveler Podcast
Chris and I will discuss travel photography - and you can submit photos for us to talk about in this flickr group.
Plus, I included an interview in this podcast that I recorded on my last trip - it's the usual stuff -- there's brain injury, Cowboy poetry, and ladies underwear etc ... all in the same story.

Fly With Me Live will stream live on Feb 21 at 1:00 PM Pacific Standard Time! You can see the show at the Fly With Me Live show page at Ustream. Please drop by ahead of time (now?) and click "RSVP".
My guest will be Flight Attendant Betty from the Betty in the Sky With a Suitcast podcast. She'll join us via Skype video chat. You'll also be able to participate in the discussion via chat and Skype call-in, if everything works as planned.
IÂ also hope to include a segment where I encourage pilots to call in and talk about checkride stories ("Checkride Check-in"), so if you have stories you want to share, email me -- or just call in during the show!
See you there!

How Does an Airplane (really) fly? You may think you know the answer to this question, but you might be surprised to hear what I learned while producing this episode. I worked together with Markus Voelter (omega tau podcast) to explore the question more accurately. If you don't already know the answer to this question, or aren't too technically inclined, don't worry. We try to simplify it enough to give you a good idea of what's going on. If nothing else, you'll spur an interesting conversation at your next cocktail party.Also, don't forget I'm planning a live video broadcast sometime soon. Follow me on Twitter for updates: @Joe_dEon
