I’ll let the podcast do most of the talking, but for anyone who’s intrigued by history, aviation, women making history, or travel, you’ll love the story of my grandmother, Jerrie Mock, first woman to fly around the world.

Join us on her 29+ day flight starting in Columbus, Ohio, making her way around the globe, having crazy adventures, meeting unique people, and being a novelty wherever she went in 1964.

And yes, she did it in a skirt and heels.

As each day of the journey unfolds, a new mini episode will be released, telling of her adventures. Today, we start with the moments leading up to her record-taking flight.

All episodes will be posted on the Jerrie Mock Podcast page on this site.
