New York NY, USA—Megaphone, the leader in podcast hosting and advertising technology, announced that GQ magazine has officially launched its signature podcast series, titled Airplane Mode, on Megaphone.

Airplane Mode was started by GQ to provide smarter advice and solutions in an increasingly chaotic world.

Guests on the podcast include American rapper, A$AP Ferg, author Mark Manson, and director Bing Liu among others.

GQ’s Airplane Mode, along with its Corporate Lunch podcast, will be utilizing all features of Megaphone including opting into Megaphone Targeted Marketplace (MTM) as an additional source of revenue in its larger monetization strategy.
