Pivot

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway host Pivot, a twice-weekly conversation about the intersection of tech, business, and politics. New episodes land every Tuesday and Friday, running about an hour each. Swisher is a veteran tech journalist who has been covering Silicon Valley since before most current tech companies existed. Galloway is an NYU marketing professor, serial entrepreneur, and provocateur who enjoys making bold predictions and occasionally being spectacularly wrong about them. The show has 749 episodes and sits at 4.2 stars from over 8,500 ratings — the split reviews reflect the polarizing nature of the hosts. Swisher interrupts constantly and brings a confrontational energy that some listeners find refreshing and others find grating. Galloway makes sweeping declarations about market trends and company valuations with the confidence of someone who has been right often enough to keep doing it. Together they generate genuine heat, disagreeing with each other regularly enough that the show never feels scripted. Pivot earns its place in a work podcasts category because it covers the forces reshaping modern employment: AI disruption, Big Tech layoffs, remote work mandates, the gig economy, and how political decisions ripple through the job market. If you work in tech, media, or any industry being reshaped by technology, this show keeps you informed about the macro trends that will affect your career. The explicit content rating is warranted — both hosts swear freely and do not hold back their opinions on corporate executives or politicians they disagree with.
