Listener sentiment
21.FIVE continues to command exceptional listener loyalty, with recent reviews almost universally enthusiastic about the show's blend of insider aviation knowledge, sharp humor, and relatability. Hosts Dylan and Max are consistently praised for their chemistry and authenticity, with listeners frequently comparing the show to hanging out at an FBO or sitting on a flight deck — a vibe that resonates across the full spectrum of the profession, from student pilots and military transitioners to seasoned airline and corporate aviators. Many reviewers credit specific episodes and guests with directly informing career moves, and recurring guests like Ted and Timothy Pope remain fan favorites. The only notable criticism to surface more than once in recent months targets another recurring guest, James O'Neal, whom a handful of otherwise glowing reviewers find grating or credibility-damaging; a single isolated one-star review also alleges political bias, though this does not reflect broader sentiment. Listener requests remain minor and familiar: more storytelling segments, more appearances by Ted, and continued coverage of fitness and lifestyle topics for pilots on the road.
