Fly With Me

Delta Airlines' latest safety video has been getting a lot of hits on Youtube, and "Deltalina" is the reason.  I talk with Chris Babb, the creator of the video, and with Katherine "Kat" Lee, the flight attendant who is featured in the video.  Kat has gotten the nickname "Deltalina" because she looks like Angelina Jolie.I have parts of the interview that I didn't use in this short piece -- send me an email at joepodcaster -at- gmail.com  if you want to hear more.---> OK, OK, here it is --  more from Kat on Youtube.  (This is different from what's in the podcast.)Del.icio.us Tags: Deltalina, Delta, Safety Video, Katherine Lee Technorati Tags: Deltalina, Delta, Safety Video, Katherine Lee Add to: | Technorati | Digg | del.icio.us | Yahoo | BlinkList | Spurl | reddit | Furl |

Ever seen somebody get so out of control on a flight they were arrested after landing? How about two arrests in the same flight?

For the 60th anniversary of the first supersonic flight, I had a slightly different take on the story than some other people had.Here's the story on NPR - my part comes after the Chuck Yeager piece.See Bob Hoover perform his "Energy Management" maneuver on Youtube.

Almost Famous ... I score some interviews with some celebrities in an effort to shamelessly boost my own popularity.  I'm not any more famous for the effort, but I did learn a few things along the way.  Pictures at my flickr page.

Download the most recent one here:  08-18-06... Explosives in flight ... MSM vs DIGG ... would Katie get away with it today? ... my euphemism at Slate ...Download other one here:  beebThis one was accidentally picked up in the libsyn feed because I had checked "Smart Feed", which sounded like the  ... um ... smart thing to do ... but it wasn't.  So you may have heard it already -- it's my BBC interview with Dotun Adebayo.  You can hear what the BBC actually aired here. Click on "Listen to the Show" in the right hand sidebar.  It helps to then click on "play in stand-alone real player"  -- it's somewhere around six minutes in.

What's up with the two feeds and why the heck am I posting at Podshow ? Get that first Podshow-only post here.Or get it in iTunes: hereHere are the two feeds if you need them:Fly With MeFly With Me X

Should you panic about the UK terror plot uncovered yesterday?  This episode was originally going to be posted only at Podshow like my last mini-episode, but I changed my mind.  I figured too many people would miss it.  You might get double-downloads of this one if you followed my advice and subscribed to both feeds.  Sorry.  I won't do it again.

I just posted a new episode over at the Podshow+ network.  Check it out at the Podshow siteIt's a Podshow exclusive!  I've decided to make certain episodes available only on Podshow, mainly because I think the new Podshow+ site lends itself well to a certain type of episode -- I talk about stuff I wouldn't include in these episodes here, like current events in aviation, issues that affect us in the industry etc....  I also plan to include random interviews, and to read some of your emails there.  I hope to post much more frequently at the Podshow+ site, so check it out ... but stay tuned here for future full-length episodes.- Joe
