| 5/19/26 | The Mother of All Mayhem | Cabin Crew who become parents often take an extended leave to spend time with their babies before they leave them for the skies once more. And if you have children soon after each other you can sometimes end up with years on the ground. When you finally get back in the skies it can be a little overwhelming! But you're often grateful for the rest in a hotel, a hot bath with no disruptions and a full night sleep. Feeling like yourself again! That is, until you end up on the mother of all flight... | 26m 21s | ||||||
| 5/12/26 | Stranger Danger | Alone in a new city, is it inviting danger? Visiting a new destination is exciting for cabin crew, we can often grow tired of flying to the same cities over and over again. And whilst those cities can provide a familiarity that is comforting, it feels like an adventure when you get to experience somewhere new. But sometimes we take the air of familiarity with us into situation where we should probably be a little more guarded. In today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we hear the true story ... | 28m 48s | ||||||

| 4/28/26 | Untrained for the Unexpected | Have you ever had to deal with something you're absolutely not trained for? When you're 38,000ft in the air, the cabin crew member is the one person everyone turns to to deal with an issue. Most of the time we're trained for it! Fire in the cabin? We trained for that! Violent passenger? We trained for that! Medical emergency? We trained for that! Mental health emergency? Oh boy... not really trained for that! People from all walks of life board that plane, so once in a while the crew are expe... | 25m 43s | ||||||
| 4/21/26 | The Original Ash Cloud Story | When European airspace shut down in April 2010, the aviation industry largely just accepted it because standard procedures told us that is what happens when a volcano erupts and spits ash into the air. Planes can't fly through ash. Of course! But, like most Standard Operating Procedures in the airline industry, there was an incident that occured that showed us why we need that procedure in place. Well, back in 1982, British Airways Flight 9 from Kuala Lumpur to Perth got caught out when the M... | 29m 28s | ||||||
| 4/14/26 | A Captain's Karma | There are the odd people in the aviation industry that will screw over someone else to help themselves.

When a former cabin crew member, turned pilot and Captain bumps into a ground staff member who caused him trouble years before, he takes the opportunity to teach her the meaning of Karma! If you like short stories, short audiobooks, based on true events in the avia... | 24m 13s | ||||||

| 3/31/26 | The Hotel on the Hill | Cabin crew stay in so many hotels that sometimes we forget which one we're at that day. Sometimes we even forget which destination we've flown to, waking up in a bed and having to think really hard about what you did the day before to discover which country or city you are in! But what if you're out and about on your layover and need to get back to the hotel, and you forget the name. You're lost. And at 3am in Boston, that's not a good situation to be in. Well this happened, and you can liste... | 24m 33s | ||||||
