Pivot

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway bicker their way through the biggest stories in tech, media, and business twice a week, and the chemistry is the show. Swisher has been covering Silicon Valley since before most founders were born and is on texting terms with half the people they cover. Galloway is an NYU marketing professor with a weakness for alliteration and a knack for delivering uncomfortable numbers about Apple margins or Meta ad pricing without blinking. They disagree often, interrupt constantly, and clearly enjoy each other's company, which saves Pivot from the forced-banter trap that sinks a lot of co-hosted shows. Each episode runs about an hour and follows a loose format: a few big stories, a guest when the calendar allows, predictions, and a wins-and-fails segment that is usually the funniest part. Guests have included Hillary Clinton, Mark Cuban, Bob Iger, and a parade of tech founders and policymakers. The politics lean liberal and neither host pretends otherwise, which will annoy some listeners and delight others. What makes Pivot stick is that Swisher actually calls executives on their nonsense in real time, and Galloway is willing to be wrong on record. It is gossipy, informed, and unusually current.
