  • Interesting takes on confidence

    The host Clay seems like a real genuine person. His guests have great advice and share the mental aspects of there careers and even away from there jobs how they cope with mental health. I think it’s a great podcast that’s relevant in these uncertain times.

  • Exceptional

    I liked this podcast from the get go, but the first season felt a lot like a book promotion preview session.

    Season 2 takes the insightful conversations and puts more meaning behind them while leaving out the part that made it feel like a capitalist money grab.

    This most recent episode with Barry Michaels is absolutely wow. I appreciate Clay’s transparency immensely. He not only knows the questions to ask but is adaptable and clearly a very engaged listener. There is hardly any backtracking a... more

  • Great concept!

    I would recommend Airplane Mode to listeners that want a podcast focused on mental health and well-being in an informal, less “preachy” manner. Clay Skipper acts as a serviceable host, but I feel he has an opportunity to establish himself as the voice of the podcast. I highly recommend the BJ Miller episode to anyone looking for perspective on life & the inevitability of death.

  • Modern Young Adult Content - Refreshing Content from GQ

    I’m a 23 year old man, and this isn’t necessarily what I expected from GQ, but oddly in a good way. Nothing really relating closely to fashion or entertainment. All the content so far is very relevant, thought provoking and feels like I’m having some deep or interesting talks with a few of my closer guy friends. I really enjoy the podcast and the candid guests that come on!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From One More Question: Ashley Padilla
Q: What was it like working for Diane Keaton?
Padilla calls Keaton an inspiring presence who taught her more than college could have. Keaton encouraged her curiosity and creative work, including the book they made together.
From One More Question: Ashley Padilla
Q: Was there a moment when you realized you could stop trying to be perfect?
Padilla says she had been hard on herself growing up and eventually became tired of trying to appear composed. Comedy let her be silly, take a break from the pressure, and accept imperfection.
From One More Question: Ethan Hawke
Q: What makes you say yes to something at this point?
Hawke says many recent projects came from friendships and shared enthusiasm, with collaborators and the opportunity to contribute often shaping his choices.
From One More Question: Ethan Hawke
Q: What accounts for that pace?
Hawke says he is energized by work he genuinely wants to do, while also acknowledging that restlessness and discomfort push him toward activity.
From One More Question: Prince Harry
Q: You've talked about basically suppressing your feelings for 20 years or so. What has life been like for you since you stopped doing that?
Harry says life is better and harder. Therapy helped him acknowledge his loss and grief, cry, and connect more emotionally with people close to him, while also making him more sensitive to painful events.
