Pivot

Pivot is a podcast hosted by Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway. Its own feed describes it as publishing “every Tuesday and Friday” and states that the hosts “offer sharp, unfiltered insights into the biggest stories in tech, business, and politics,” coming “from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network.” The earliest episode in the feed is dated 24 September 2018 and the feed held 803 items as of 1 September 2026.

Format

Each episode covers the week’s technology, business and political news, with the two hosts making predictions and, in the feed’s own words, “pick[ing] winners and losers.” Swisher is described in the feed as a journalist and Galloway as an NYU professor. Recent episodes have covered platform litigation and settlements, artificial-intelligence policy, and campaign politics, and the show carries interview guests.

Sourcing Note

The reach line “Top business podcast on Apple Podcasts” is removed: Apple’s charts are transient and no source stating this could be fetched. Also removed are the claims that the show “helps frame national conversations about technology governance,” that it provides “a forum where technology, business, and political leaders debate the responsibilities of dominant platforms,” and that it has “become a key venue” in its field — all influence claims with no source. The description of Pivot Live tours and premium subscription content is removed for the same reason.
