Customer Reviews
Miles is THE Space Reporter
Miles O'Brien was the reason I watched CNN's coverage of the space program. His depth of knowledge, charismatic reporting style, and class made him the ONE to turn to for space reporting. So it was with great excitement that I saw this podcast and after the first episode, I was hooked. O'Brien mixes the facts with a witty approach that is enjoyable to watch. This weekly podcast should be required viewing for anyone interested in spaceflight. You certainly are not going to get this level of depth on the networks. In this first episode, O'Brien and his team snagged some excellent interviews including former NASA Administrator Michael Griffin and Astronaut Nicole Stott. It's good to have you back covering space Miles!
Perfect!
Very good and even a little funny. Can't wait for more! What is the theme though? I want it!
So far so good
Love all the video of stuff I mostly just read about on a daily basis. Great editing and its just the right lenth. Keep it up guys.
