Welcome to episode 116 of The Journey Is the Reward!

We're cleared for takeoff on a great episode today. First, we're hitting the skies with some feedback from Listener Barbara. She’s asking about Clear Air Turbulence.  She is also curious if Brian is ever concerned about it while he's busy socializing with the flight crew in the back of the plane.

As always, our listeners are the real experts on this show, so keep those questions coming to: [email protected].

Then, Listener Lu wants to know about the person in Italy who threw a temper tantrum at the gate because of their luggage being a few pounds overweight and she refused to gate check her bag.  This passenger refused to comply with the gate agent’s request, so she and her bag got to take a different flight entirely. 

For our main segment, we've got a change of flight crew. Captain Dana is back in the cockpit, but this time, Brian's taking over the controls for the interview. It's a role reversal, so get ready for a whole new kind of conversation.

And 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 Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.
