Skift Take Sessions is a weekly podcast built from the most important conversations shaping the global travel industry. Each episode features candid, journalist-led interviews with CEOs and senior leaders across airlines, hotels, travel platforms, and experiences. Recorded live at Skift events, these conversations go beyond headlines to explore how decisions are made, how companies compete, and how the industry is evolving. Hosted by Wil Slickers, Skift Take Sessions adds the context that matters — why each conversation is relevant now and what we learned. You’ll hear directly from leaders at companies like Hilton, Expedia Group, Booking Holdings, Airbnb, JetBlue, and more. If you want a clearer view into where travel is headed next, Skift Take Sessions delivers insight from the people shaping it. New episodes every week.
