[Perhaps our first Airplane Geekette listener mail:]
Hi Guys,
I was just getting caught up on listening to Airplane Geek episode, so I just listened to episode 68 and wanted to let you know there is an airplane geekette listening weekly to your podcast (although I’m married, so I can’t be Dan’s geekette!) It seems like you have a lot of female guests, but not many female listeners writing in, so I thought I would try to write in and start a trend with the lady geeks out there.
I enjoy the podcast and can’t wait to get the latest episode each week. I especially like hearing from Court again with the whiskey tango foxtrots.
I also saw this article today and thought you might be interested in it. Click http://www.thestar.com/business/article/728876–air-canada-to-offer-in-flight-access-to-the-internet.
Keep up the good work!
