Our curated selection of reviews
I’ve found plenty of podcast that I can honestly say that I love. None of them have I ever given stars to, much less write a review. This podcast is so great. You have somehow found the perfect fit of informative, entertainment, and inspiration all in the same podcast. I love the fact that you guys get interviews with actual test pilots and engineers for their own account of events. It’s not just another podcast a regular person telling a story, but THE people telling THEIR story. Coming from someone who grew up with pictures of the Blackbird, and Nighthawk on their wall as a kid and still to this day in my office. I’ve been a huge nerd of aeronautical history, success and failure stories. The audio quality is impeccable. I love that that with the background jet noises and music it brings everything together. Please don’t stop this series ever.

For people already knowledgeable about Skunk Works there isn’t much new information here. There are some good first hand stories in the early episodes from the SR-71 and F-117 programs, but after that the podcast transitions into biased corporate cheerleading. Based on its episode you’d be forgiven for thinking the F-35 is the most successful and trouble-free program in LM’s history. It very much isn’t. At times the podcast comes across as a new hire orientation: sanitized corporate history, glowing corporate culture testimonials from current star employees, always bright and cheerful, etc.
Overall the podcast was just meaty enough to hold my interest - the episode about the current development of the Compact Fusion Reactor being my favorite - but keep in mind that there are large, very important gaps in this story and that you’re being advertised to for the entire runtime.
