I frequently used to listen to Swisher’s older shows, but her latest ones are often way too gabby and digressive for my taste. That chit-chat between her and Galloway often goes into vainglorious and casual mentions of prominent persons, associates, the places they go, things they do, invested interests, and other pretenses… all done to seemingly impress, garner favor, or… maybe they’re not really aware of how annoying all of this can be? Why should I care about such nonsense, and how’s it relevant to someone who actually lives in Silicon Valley and the Bay Area? That’s aside from Galloway’s tacky and often off-putting jokes or references, to which Swisher often just chuckles. Then, even though Swisher prides herself on decades of Silicon Valley coverage, it seems like this team or duo is mostly just “phoning it in” from remote places as of late, as they jet set here and there and intersperse their so-called “tech” stories with all kinds of idle chatter and other socio-political musings, which doesn’t always have consistent relevance or reason… it’s just whatever this or that they want to call on. In all these tangents, Swisher has lost focus. The reporting and analysis has become watered down, and distracted. It’s lacking the depth and real grit on the breadth of Silicon Valley life that only comes from really being present here, and seeing all aspects of life in the region, its civic politics, ecology, business and local economy (not just national implications), urban planning and development, social diversity, etc. That includes insights to the actual cities and counties, the people who live and work here, and our representatives, universities, etc.

Scott should stop promoting Israeli propaganda. He is promoting hate and is an utter disgrace.

He’s an obnoxious supporter of genocide in the Middle East. Disgusting.

About Democrats following the law with Musk

Pivot is always informative and entertaining. Scott and Kara deliver a fresh real-world take on current issues with top guests and a sibling like playful banter. I value their viewpoint even when we differ.

Stop trying to shoehorn in the gross sex bro talk. So cringey

Preemptive war is illegal. Eminent war is the standard. While enrichment had increased, the estimate is two years to actually make a bomb. Military leaders and scientists will be replaced. There is no guarantee our buster bunkers will work. I don’t trust Bibi. We’re not working with our allies. Trump bolted.

This language in the recent podcast talking foul about Obama is disgusting. Save yourself! Use your platform. Shame on you.

I love the show. But I just wanted to tell Kara that Obama did his job! And he also warned us about a Trump 2nd term. I want that black man to rest. He deserves it. He is not our savior. This is what America wanted…MAGA

What took me so long? Great chemistry here. In these times of despair, you both educate me and make me chuckle, sometimes out loud. I’m hooked!

Depressed fangry glibs.

Facts, analysis, friendship, humor, predictions, smart Please buy The Washington Post asap, Kara.

Kara, did I hear you say Trump’s henchmen are going to go to prison for what they are doing to this country. That is literally the most naive and stupid thing I’ve heard anyone say to date. Btw: as to your ridiculous Hitler analogy…..The U.S. 3rd Army stopped Hitler…..What army is going to save us……. I suggest you stick to interviewing techies and leave History to Scott. Jesus H. Christ… my head is going to explode

This show could be a solid 5 stars but Scott Galloway clearly has an addiction that is not funny and is offensive. Just when the conversation is interesting he has to divert it to him wanting to go on a bender with Elon in Vegas and have threesomes. It is so tiresome and I don’t understand why Swisher doesn’t get rid of him. Also NYU for that matter. Yes he is smart but he is also a perv predator. Getting harder and harder to listen.

What are the chances Trump diddles with tariffs so informed politicians can buy/sell stocks for great profit to harden their loyalty to Trump?

I wanted to listen about the Trump Elon fight and was so grossed out by this disgusting description of the dude being more aroused than when two friends asked if he wanted to watch them to hook up. I feel like I was just sexually harassed when I wanted to listen to analysis. This feels like it’s from the 80s Trump and Elon would probably find it hilarious. ew

Love the hosts’ experiences and knowledge about the industry, the economy etc… But, the overall delivery and constant self centered comments around who knows whom, parties they went to or even the crude humor that Scott has (it was fun 5 years ago, it’s getting old and borderline pervy) - enough. Lastly - the constant and unabashed pro-Zionist slant is too much. Both peoples have the right to coexist and the fact that the geneocide in Gaza is barely mentioned by Scott is quite something.

Great content - this podcast has it all.

I so appreciate your sane discussions. The solid economic opinions backed up by facts and knowledge have given me comfort during these unstable times. Thank you for your insightful conversations.

The way I ran to the 6/5 episode to hear Kara’s take on the Musk/DJT breakup!!! It did not disappoint!!! Love the podcast series, the knowledge and wit of Galloway and Swisher is a match made in pop/tech/business culture heaven

Great show, but Kara you’ve picked up this dreadful habit of saying ’right’ at the end of your sentence when voicing an opinion. You’re good, you don’t need to check in like that. If you want to know if Scott agrees, ask him. He’ll give you his input, or voice one of his jokes.

The hosts are SO into themselves that it’s often cringey to listen to. Neither seems cool or personally interesting but they sure brag like they are. If you can get past their personalities there is sometimes some good info.

Srsly, save us your on-air ballwashing. Do that at home. It’s nasty.

Grow up. It’s not funny - it’s pervy. And it’s getting worse. Get some help. I feel sorry for your wife and kids. What a role model.

I love this podcast for many reasons. I have a suggestion as a loyal listener…can the producers revise the format of the intro? It’s great for Kara and Scott to catch up but I’m done with “how can Scott disgust Kara with playful misogyny?”Scott’s story of how his MIL found his porn on his laptop just isn’t funny and if we’re going to chastise social media for the exploitation of young girls - which is deserved - please also discuss how porn is equally harmful for young girls and boys. Like Scott points out - online gambling is out of control for young men but so is porn. And YES we should be able to laugh and joke about sex, life etc. but normalizing the use of pornography , lesbian jokes and how hot women are is just so played out and dumb. Scott and Kara are incredible but you are way too talented to be relying on the creepy uncle schtick.

Love the clear information you give us . Thank You

Used to love the show but Scott’s description of himself as a “raging Zionist” and denial of the genocide in Gaza has me unsubscribing. You will be on the wrong side of history.

I listen to some of Scott’s other pods, and he also brags a bit too much on those for my taste. Kara and Scott together seem like they mostly want to show each other and the world how glamorous they are. It feels a bit embarrassing unless you buy into the idea that they really are as amazing as they seem to think they are, which I guess I don’t.

I look forward to new episodes and get so excited when a new one drops! Thanks for the great content and the humor you add! 🩵

Love their calm in the face of continuous outrages as well as their well informed & well reasoned analyses. This + The Intelligence keeps me sane & out of trouble.

He wanted a “shark tank” like primary for the democrats to replace Biden? This dude needs to stop podcasting and get into the world. He’s filled with ideas for young men families getting young people to drink none of which will be implemented. Endless useless self indulgent yapping.

I have loved this show for years, but every time Tom Cruise has a movie come out, they lick him up and down. Tom Cruise is a the tent pole of an organization that traffics and extorts human beings. I’m tired of Scott and Kara supporting Tom Cruise. Oh he seems nice and is a hard worker? That’s because he has slaves waiting on him constantly and Scientology trains people to have false charm in order to inculcate people. It’s so gross. Stop it. Talk to Lea Remini. Where’s Shelly?!

It’s a compliment. Keep killin it you two 🔥

A show that could be packed with relevant information but is instead 2 people clearly so out of touch with the general public talk about the ins and out of their unrelatable personal lives. Good luck promoting your “brand”.

Tens of thousabds of innocent Palestinians dead Settler violence Bombing of refugee camps (And Netanyahu facilitated the funding of Hamas) Still Mr Galloway calls himself a "raging Zionist" No stars for you!

Over the last several months, Scott has turned to flouting his wealth, self-promotion, and out of touch jokes. He used to have some insight, clever jokes, and a unique personality. Lately, he seems to be going through some kind of identity crisis. He adds little to the conversation and his jokes have grown tired and more offensive. I used to be a regular listener to the Prof G podcast as well, but I find that he is extremely repetitive in topic and views across his different platforms. His ubiquity has become a problem because he’s recycling talking points, not doing enough research, and, again, just bragging about his life without the appropriate amount of self-reflection that we all need. He seems to be relying heavily on staff and then using his fame to coast as he focuses on this book and TV development which grow out of his being a good pod host with interesting opinions. He no longer is those things. I would hate for his voice to vanish because he’s getting to high on his own supply, but it’s what he deserves if he keeps this trend. Kara is fabulous on Pivot, On, and television. Only critique of her is I don’t care for her kids guest hosting—they sound like terrific kids, but not podcast hosts, but that’s few and far between. If it weren’t for Scott’s decline, I’d give five stars.

I am so grateful I stumbled over Kara in a documentary and then immediately followed her podcast because she is sooo smart and “UN-panicky” in the face of the horror we face, so sharply deconstructing lies and pushing back. together with Scott though, it’s really the one show I look forward to. it’s like meeting friends (and I totally appreciate the personal friendship they disclose between the lines!) and sinking in a big leather chair to breathe a bit and be intellectually stimulated. please never stop. I need you.

Kara and Scott consistently deliver entertaining content which gives me clever talking points so now my friends don’t think I’m an idiot anymore.

I love your show, Kara and Scott, but Since a few months I feel like you talk a bit too much about our Trump. I know he’s the BEST PRESIDENT THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN, but I think he doesn’t need that much air time. Keep being awesomely accurate and informative

Kara and Scott are great. They need to be in the top 25 to win a golden globe. I literally came here just to drop a comment to say that. Since I’m here I’ll also say Thank you for the great and insightful show. I listen every week! Keep doing what you’re doing. People need to hear news from honest and sensible people. Also Scott should tell more jokes!

Lisa Su gets 5 stars!

if you can stomach the self promotion

Your knowledge and banter are spectacular; please provide context for those of us who don’t know every name and company in these industries. Please articulate a bit more and finish sentences 🙏🏽. Your predictions are stupendous and fascinating. Thank you for an informative and entertaining show!!

I love this pod, but to say McCarthy and Maher were good is so false- and it appears to be motivated by both hosts love of being on the show. Kara was excellent , but Mccartht spews lies and even after getting pronated by Trump, still lies for him. Maher is a fool for his kissing the ring. Be better Scott and Kara..

Both are smart and articulate. The only knock on the hosts is sometimes Scott shows up unprepared to talk about the topics and Kara can confuse facts with her opinion. Otherwise, they have great chemistry and work well together. For years this Pod was a five star for me, but the election seems to have broken the show format. Every episode: -Trump -Elon -Some tech bro Kara finds insufferable. Rinse and repeat. I miss the days where I would learn about new tech or business ideas. Maybe in 2028?

Spend a bunch of time with real people NOT in your office or gay friends.

Yeeeesh, Scott. The banter between these two folks is golden. Greatly appreciate the views of both!

Kara is amazing, Scott needs to stop talking. He interrupts her, mansplains constantly and is overall a drain on the show. Which is bad considering he speaks over 75% of the time. Kara, get a real co-host!

Out of touch wealthy weirdos. Boomers gonna boomer: “Bill (Maher) gets smarter when he’s high.” Yes, they attend Maher parties and go on Club Random. Do you need to know more?

Kara is painfully insecure. I listened because I really want all good things for her but she needs therapy.
