Plane Talking UK Podcast

Hosted by Plane Talking UK

A weekly live roundtable where a panel of UK aviation enthusiasts and professionals dissect the latest commercial and military aviation news.

The brief

This is a weekly, long-form (often 1.5-2+ hours) live show that feels like a pub chat between knowledgeable friends who are obsessed with airplanes. A core group of hosts, including at least one active airline captain, break down the week's aviation news with a distinctly British sense of humour. The live format means there's plenty of informal banter and interaction with a live YouTube chat room, all wrapped around structured news segments.

The show's live, multi-host roundtable format sets it apart from more scripted aviation news podcasts. The blend of a current airline captain ('Captain Andy'), a military veteran pilot (Armando), and passionate enthusiasts gives the news analysis a unique depth and a relaxed, conversational feel.

What you'll be asked on this show

How Plane Talking UK interviews

This is a co-hosted news and commentary show, not a traditional interview podcast. While they occasionally feature pre-recorded interviews conducted by one of the hosts as a special segment, the primary format is a roundtable discussion among the regular panel. The hosts' questions observed in the evidence are directed at each other during conversational banter, not at an external guest in a formal interview structure.

The show is a multi-host roundtable discussion, typically recorded remotely from various locations, including hotel rooms and home studios. It's broadcast live on YouTube, with hosts interacting with a chat room. Segments like 'Commercial News' and 'Military News' are clearly demarcated by distinct graphics and musical jingles.
