Good show. You guys are starting to see Trump for who he is. Trump is doing exactly what Xi wants. When he invades Taiwan, trade is going to crumble anyways. Now Xi doesn’t have to be the bad guy in the eyes of his people

In an industry as multinational, integrated, and complex as A&D, keeping up with events in the ecosystem is nearly impossible on your own. This podcast provides a one-stop shop for the most important topics facing our industry. It provides invaluable perspective into the A&D industry from a who’s who of contributors from government, military, journalism, industry analysts, and industry executives. At a minimum, if you participate in the A&D industry, you would stand to benefit from listening to the following two weekly editions: Friday edition (Washington Roundtable) which is a roundtable of notable Republican and Democratic leaders commenting on current affairs related to the industry as seen from Capitol Hill. Weekend edition (Business Roundtable) which features leading industry and capital market analysts from the US and Europe.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for about 3 years. You said multiple times before this administration took office that you wanted to root for their success. But for the last 3 months you’ve focused more on politics than defense and aerospace, and you refuse to look at the news from anything but a negative, one sided perspective. I really enjoyed the AirPower episodes but I just can’t stand the negativity.

Financial analyst commentary is terrific. They look at it from a dollars and cents perspective. I do have an issue with Chris Servello giving commentary on ethics and the military. Just look up “bad Santa navy”. He has zero credibility to weigh in on anything which requires ethical judgment. Hence the three star rating vs a five.

Been listening for 4 years of normal informative coverage on A&D. If we can’t we get the politics out of the podcast which I understand can be difficult in an industry controlled by Washington. Can we at least get more balanced discussions?

Please stick to reporting facts on A&D and hosting expert guests. Though love hearing them correct your spin

Vago, I've been listening to this daily since 2018. Please can we change the discussion at least back to A&D? I get that you're freaking out about Trump. You, yourself, worried about Biden's reduction of the defense budget if you account for inflation and let's not talk about the Afghanistan withdrawal. Can we balance the coverage just slightly? You're obviously in a bubble and how about we give the new admin a chance and let's see what happens. It's only been 20+ days and NATO hasn't been overrun, yet. Happy to come on the show and discuss or provide an alternative view to all former Biden admin officials / MSNBC believers

The shows host and producers need to look at how they handled issues from the Biden years and how they handle issues now. Since election time I’ve heard trumps name more than I’ve heard individual A&D company names. Under Biden it was administration and not specifics. Since 2023 everything has been trump focused etc. please do better. I don’t need your politics or your baseless theories, I want to know what A&D is currently doing, where it’s going and how we can improve against our current/future fighting environments

Great guests. A must listen on Thur, Fri, Sun and Monday. I find when I’m on holiday I still have to tune in!

Love the focus on aviation, but the Trump Derangement Syndrome has become real over the last year — almost becoming intolerable to listen to the shows deep dive their hatred for Trump. Have started listening to Aviation Week more, but admittedly, it’s not the same as the quality Vago’s team used to deliver.
