In the opening episode, host Nastaran Tavakoli-Far and producer Pedro Mendes set the stage for what’s going to be a supersonic journey documented in six parts—and also reflect on their personal connections to Concorde. You’ll hear about the monumental 1956 meeting of the Supersonic Transport Aircraft Committee (STAC) that set in motion a complex network of teams from the U.K. and France to realize this ambitious project. Also in this episode — the team travels to the Brooklands Museum in the U.K, where host Nas sees a Concorde up close for the first time.Guests in this episode:Jonathan Glancey, author of 'Concorde: The Rise and Fall of the Supersonic Airliner'Katie John, Editor of Mach 2 magazineMichel Polacco, French aviation reporter, and author of a book on the Concorde in FrenchNigel Ferris, a former clerk in the hangers where the British Concorde fleet was builtJohn Britton, Chief Engineer of the British Concorde fleetTed Talbot (through the voice of Steve Wadhams), Chief Design Engineer at Concorde and author of the memoir ‘Concorde, A Designer's Life’Dudley Collard, member of the Aerodynamics Design team at ConcordeFor more on this episode, visit: https://www.atlassian.com/blog/podcast/teamistry/season/season-4/the-dream-of-supersonic-flight

The United States of Compromise: The great American experiment was about to fail. On the eve of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 – where the U.S. Constitution began – the French minister to America wrote home to his superiors in Paris, "What part of the United States would you like to take when it falls apart?" Disunity between states, a faltering economy, active rebellions, the threat of European interference – all were contributing factors. The Articles of Confederation — the original post-independence document – weren't working. The fledgling country needed an overhaul of its core principles. In this episode of Teamistry, host Gabriela Cowperthwaite revisits that summer of 1787 when a monumental collaboration ultimately delivered the U.S. Constitution. Within the muggy chambers of Independence Hall in Philadelphia, some of the country's brightest lawmakers and thought-leading eccentrics came together to hash out a new government system unlike any other in the world.
