This airshow is called Airventure. In recent years the fledgling aviation podcast fraternity has, if able, made their way there for an annual get together called Podapalooza. Podcasts, for those that don’t know, are downloadable “radio style” shows which focus specifically on topics of interest.  For anyone with an interest in aviation, there are a range of different podcasts and styles.
