One thought on “Beautiful… Just ƒµ¢√¡π§ Beautiful Episode 126”
On this episode & 125 when Baron talked about standing up MAWTS-1 I kept expecting you guys to use the term “Plankowner”
I looked and its in the glossary but that might’ve been a neat piece of informative naval tradition to weave in as part of Baron’s story. I mention this because I always appreciate that in addition to the entertaining stories that you line up – you often weave in a little education.
Even when I know the acronym or the nuanced terminology that comes up I appreciate that you often pause the story to define it. I am positive that there are listeners that would be powerfully confused at times if you didn’t.
