    Inspiring, informative, and fun.
    Liz never disappoints in her interaction with guests and as host who allows aviation and writing to propel conversations on a wide variety topics. This community inspires my writing, expands my aviation horizons, and cultivates a networking community for women and young people to literally be seen and heard. Thanks Liz!

    New listener
    SO thankful you spoke at our Zonta meeting last night! You are such an inspiration with your story & your current path. I am enjoying listening to your podcast, as your enthusiasm for your guests is contagious. The ones I’ve listened to seem to share your enthusiasm & honesty. There is only one thing that bothers me…that there’s no “Thank you for listening” or any real ending to let us who aren’t looking at the phone or laptop know that the episode is over. Otherwise, keep up the amazing work! I’m looking forward to listening to more episodes & hopefully being able to read some of the books you recommend. Thank You!

    Endlessly fascinating
    Aviatrix Book Review by Elizabeth Booker shares the fascinating stories of women in aviation and the behind-the-scenes process and viewpoints of the authors who tell these stories. The interview terrain is wide ranging. Covering the gamut from the stories of pioneers like Bessie Coleman (who in 1921 became the first African American woman to earn a pilot’s license) and many other “firsts”, to Hitler’s aviatrixes in WWII, to the obstacles faced by women pilots inside and outside the cockpit. Exploring the inside story of the challenges of telling these stories and the authors’ triumphs and unique viewpoints reveal a hidden world within an already niche topic. Booker does a superb job of interviewing. With an extensive background as a pilot herself, she asks informed, thoughtful, curious questions. Showing an uncanny understanding of the questions readers might have, she sometimes challenges why an author included or excluded certain material, which opens intriguing avenues of exploration for the listener. The interviews are as spellbinding as the books being discussed.

    Something for everyone!
    These podcasts offer something for everyone - the aviation enthusiast, the history nerd (me), the book lover, and the writer. I really like how the content is broken down into conversations with the author about the book itself, and also the “Writers’ Room” interviews, that focus on the craft.

    Excellent podcast!
    Really great short episodes. Just two women talking about aviation and books. A remarkable cross-section of history and modernity. Worth the listen!
