Hello, London. I’m Matt Brown and this is an encore edition of Episode 7 of The Matt Brown Podcast. As Airshow London prepared to celebrate their 10th Anniversary, Jim Graham, the founding and immediate past chair of the board of directors for Airshow London, joined me in August of 2025 to reflect about the past 10 years and talk all things airshow.
Jim is a business owner, community leader, a commercial pilot and so much more. You'll learn some interesting history, fun facts, and how he and his team kept the show going during the pandemic.
You can listen to the conversation Jim and I had here:
And, you can check out the 2026 Airshow Line Up, happening this weekend, here.

Please Note: As a subscriber, you’re going to get pretty familiar with The Matt Brown Podcast because we’re moving it over to join The Loon as a regular feature. Most of the content for this podcast comes from Newsmakers, that’s a show that I host on Rogers Television twice monthly from September to June.
Once the episode airs on Rogers, I’ll post an abridged version of it, audio only, here on The Loon. So, watch for a new episode to drop mid September and then at least every other Saturday after that.
There are about 50 podcast episodes in the archive. I’m going to move them to The Loon in the fall and they’ll be available to download for all subscribers. Until then, feel free to visit: TheMattBrownPodcast.com or look for the show anywhere you get your podcasts.
A reminder that for this coming week’s Buckle Up, we’re returning to our regular format. Watch for it on Monday, August 24th.
Thanks for listening.
