Unanswered 2: Fear of Flying
Manage episode 157971158 series 1239042
Nick recalls his first experience flying on a small aeroplane, noting it can be quite different from long-haul journeys on much larger jets. This kicks off a conversation about the fear of flying or, more to the point, the myriad fears and issues captured within.
In addition we discuss dreams, other tales of disaster, and we entirely resist the issue of airline food.
