I initially bought this because I wanted a fluffy romance and I always love Amanda Ronconi as a reader. The story turned out to have more depth than I expected, with respect to complex relationship issues and grief, which I enjoyed. Yes, it hit some of the predictable romance beats, but in other places it varied from the typical tropes. At first, the switching back and forth between the two narrator voices during character conversations was jarring and their styles didn't seem to mesh well (despite both being good), but I stopped noticing as I got into the story. Soon enough it seemed natural.

I can understand why some people might give this podcast a one-star review, especially if they're used to more "professional" and polished podcasts. However, the lack of slick production values and the very human reactions to the stories (even if that's laughter, which many people naturally use to diffuse fear, horror, or distress) make them very relatable. Sometimes there are errors in details or pronunciations, but who hasn't done that? Listening to Ash And Alaina is like getting together with old friends. Now when I go back to some other podcasts, I miss the homegrown feel. They cover a diverse array of cases, and the inclusion of listener stories is a nice way to build the community. Even if I've heard a case before, they add a different perspective. Another positive is the fact that they often warn listeners of particularly distressing details so that someone can skip that part. I came to the podcast only recently, so I binged many episodes in a row. Thanks to that, I've easily seen how the hosts have grown since Episode 1. Bravo ladies.

The two hosts of this podcast play well off one another, with one serving primarily as the storyteller and the other acting as a proxy for the listeners. He comes in naive to the details, posits theories about causes, and asks questions that many of us no doubt have. The pacing is good, flight jardon and procedures are well-explained, and I like hearing about the industry changes made as a result of the accidents/disasters. There is some humor, but it never seems disrespectful or inappropriate. Both hosts have engaging ways of speaking. Well done!

I love Black Box Down and am interested in ship disasters, so I decided to give this a try. I usually like multiple hosts and don't mind some humor to lighten what might otherwise be pretty grim stories, but this too often dissolved into distracting and (at times) disrespectful frat-bro comments. I'm sure it appeals to some people's taste, just not mine.

Both I and my sixteen-year-old son loved this book. We listened together in the car and laughed out loud in many places. The narrator's character voices and inflections are great. I love Oberon the wolfhound! There are many recent/current pop culture references in this book, which I think some readers may miss.

We were listening to it on a road trip and had to download the second book immediately when we were done because we wanted more.
