Pivot

Kara Swisher has been covering tech since before most tech companies existed. Scott Galloway is an NYU professor who says exactly what he's thinking, consequences be damned. Put them together twice a week and you get Pivot — equal parts business analysis, political commentary, and two people who genuinely enjoy arguing with each other. The format is straightforward: they pick the week's biggest stories in tech, business, and politics, then give their takes. Kara brings the insider knowledge. She's interviewed every major CEO at some point and isn't shy about calling them out when they mess up. Galloway brings the data and the hot takes — his predictions are hit or miss, but he's always entertaining. They disagree often enough that it doesn't feel like an echo chamber. Twice a week, about an hour per episode. Tuesdays and Fridays. That cadence means they're reacting to news while it's still fresh, which makes this better than a weekly recap. The production through Vox Media is clean. Occasionally they bring on a guest, but the core two-person dynamic is what makes it work. Fair warning: they both have strong political opinions that come through regularly. If you want pure business analysis, this might annoy you sometimes. If you like your business news with personality and conviction, this is one of the most consistently interesting shows around. Over 700 episodes in and the energy hasn't dropped.
