Pivot with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway
Twice-weekly, journalist Kara Swisher and professor Scott Galloway bicker and banter through their unfiltered analysis of tech, business, and politics.
A rapid-fire, twice-weekly conversation where two of the sharpest minds in media dissect the week's headlines. Kara Swisher brings decades of reporting and inside access, while Scott Galloway provides academic frameworks and provocative business analysis. The show lives at the intersection of breaking news and bold, often-argued-over predictions about the future.
“The show's core distinction is the chemistry and intellectual sparring between its hosts. Swisher's deep-sourced journalism grounds Galloway's high-level, often inflammatory, predictions, creating a dynamic that is both informative and highly entertaining.”
