Hey team. Love the show. There was an episode a couple months ago regarding base defense. It was great from a strategic denial view. I haven’t seen much scholarship or press devoted to tactical and operational air base defense on the ground. (The USAF Security Forces mission sets). Do we think there’s no threat of small units of PRC or contracted militia origin who could impose casualties and loss on the hypothetically disbursed small bases across the pacific ? Are multi capable airmen ready for a small arms engagement ?

Dialogue being scripted really takes away from the podcast and makes it seem like there is no real discussion happing. Disappointing because the topics and content is very interesting

Thanks for working through this. I’m a retired Cyber warfare officer who has been monitoring the evolution of quantum computing and encryption. Recent developments have raised my concern. I’m glad to see a warfighter’s take on the subject.

Loved the grand overview on all aspects of airpower

As a military retiree, I listen to find out how the Air Force is doing. I’ve been particularly interested in the Ukraine war, potential conflict with China, Air Force readiness, and potential game changers.

Good content for the most part, but the scripted dialogues are pretty painful to listen to

Great podcast for anyone interested in aviation. The moderator asks great questions and the guests clearly know their stuff. It’s nice to hear their unfiltered points of view on aerospace acquisition and strategy. The only feedback I have is that I wish they had more diversity among their guests. There are so many knowledgeable women and POC in aerospace, and it would be nice to hear someone like me on the podcast.

I have learned so much thank you for this podcast what a great mission you guys are doing please keep up the good work!

Great discussion on space deterrence and what the US needs to do to deter China and Russia in space. I worked at USSTRATCOM when he was the commander and worked to stand up USCYBERCOM. I used a lot of info / ideas from this episode for my campaign for congress. I hope we see more of Gen Chilton in the future in either a presidential appointment or elected office. He’d be a great SECDEF or Senator.

This is one of those very few podcasts where you know it could be a lot longer because the guests really know their stuff, like 110%. Also, unlike a lot of podcasts, the host, “Slick”, asks great questions and then, unbelievably, listens to what the guests have to say. Just an awesome podcast. Just be warned that you won’t always walk-away from this podcast as a happy camper with warm and fuzzy feelings. But I guess that’s the thing about the truth. It isn’t always pretty.

Tremendous content. Wonderful Guests and Hosts. Imparting knowledge we absolutely need to know.

Great content and hosts. Thoughtful insights that help inform and educate those of us in and around aerospace and defense

As someone who has never had the privilege of wearing the uniform myself, I downloaded this podcast wondering if I could relate and fully comprehend the content. After listening to the first two episodes, I am hooked. The host does an incredible job of presenting important and intriguing information in a fun, conversational tone. The format of live commentary and interviews combined with historical recordings works perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed listening and learned a lot. I will be recommending this podcast to all my friends ... ranging from those that have served in uniform for decades to those, like me, who yearn to understand our Air and Space Forces better so we can better support them. Thank you.
