Kara and Scott’s view on Elon is biased and comes across more emotional
Kara and Scott’s view on Elon is biased and comes across more emotional. The latest podcast was all about.. I feel bad for him, get over it, he is 52 year old, did not shave, wore odd clothing etc.. Might as well have a doctor and come and speak about Elon’s health.. Reality is Elon needs to given a rain check once a while… I mean how often do YOU bad mouth and use foul language on your show but I as a follower often give you guys a rain check and still continue to follow. Kara, please stop reading articles and may be summarize in one line based on what you should have already read. It’s annoying to hear you read articles or some readouts of a company’s holding

Just what the doctor ordered!
This show is so smart and funny! I have always loved Kara but I’ve got to say Scott has really grown on me. I love his heart and I’m laughing at more and more of his jokes. You two are great team! Thank you for all you do!
Computer literate NOT
Repetitive Rants!
Please stop saying the same thing about Elons buyer remorse. For 3+ shows, for 5-10+ min a show we hear the same rants. Same about trumps Iran debacle. if there are news updates, provide them, and you can give your rant for 30sec, but stop spending so much time on repetitive commentary.I want Analysis on what's going on, not long drawn out rants repeating the same thing. Put more time into other topics. Thanks

Only Scott
could take the fact that the Supreme Court is most likely going to do everything to can to make a safe abortion impossible for a girl or woman into a reason we need to show more support to men. The number one reason women get an abortion is because they won’t have support from a man? Really? This podcast is now just a vehicle for bill sales. Unsubscribe.

Love Kara, Scott must go
I have enjoyed this podcast, until Scott refused to believe that Netanyahu did anything anything at all to push us into war with Iran. He has always bashed Democrats more than republicans, but as a queer person in an interracial marriage I refuse to listen to a man who so admires Ben Shapiro and his moral clarity while Ben writes about pardoning racist cops and Ben trashes queer and trans folks. Scott is in his rights to endorse a hate monger, and I am in my right to not listen to this wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Kara Take Day Off!
Kara's voice is already hard enough to listen to, but becomes impossibly so when she has a cold. Her voice is so grating I cannot get through today's (4-27) episode.

Best podcast
I truly appreciate this podcast! It has brought so much knowledge to my life. While I don’t agree with every perspective, I deeply value the thought-provoking conversations you share. Thank you, Kara and Scott, for all that you do!

Thought Provoking, Blood Pressure Raising, and Strategic Humor Pressure Release
Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway’s give and take and rapport pull you into current topics. They do a wonderful job providing context, they ask the hard questions, and while they won’t give you the perfect answer, they will provide solid info to help you engage with the issues facing us today. And, you do get some true laugh out loud moments to break the tension and groans with the dad jokes :).

Dump the bald dude
Enjoyed this show when it started, but Scott has devolved to little more than a center-right shill who is programmed to say “male loneliness epidemic” 300x/day and somehow still can’t bring himself to criticize a specific country in the Middle East.

Can bear to listen to Scott applaud vile bigot Tucker Carlson for anything. Done with the show.

My favorite podcast. Smart, funny(sometimes), and I’m always exposed to new and different ideas. DO NOT let Scot leave!

The All In Podcast II
It used to feel sharp, informed, and genuinely worth the time. Lately, it feels like it’s drifting into the same territory as the All In podcast, where strong opinions start to crowd out thoughtful discussion. Scott seems increasingly locked into positions that just don’t land. Kara, meanwhile, can’t seem to get through an episode without circling back to Elon Musk. The first 10min are a chore to listen to. What made the show work early on was its ability to balance perspective with substance. Now it feels repetitive, predictable, and at times frustrating. There’s still potential there, but the current direction makes it harder to stick with.

Great podcast
This is the discussion I look forward to twice a week. I respect and depend on their analysis of events. I don't always agree with them but their analysis is some of the best I've come across.
Gregii!
Methinks Scott doth protest too much
Uh-oh! In the latest episode, Scott gets angry and defensive about people on the progressive end calling him out for his Ben Shapiro interview. Sounds like we’ve hit a nerve…. It certainly jangled my nerves when he got hot under the collar and raised his voice with Kara. Clicked OFF on my PowerBeats at that moment. Not a fan of voice-raising on a podcast…belongs with the bro-casters…. Just read the podcast description where it was called a “debate”..smh

Steve Jobs is NOT JESUS!
He denied his own child! Scott knows this and said it’s neither here nor there when it comes to Steve Jobs being Jesus… Push back on Scott, Kara!! Read SMALL FRY! Also - good editorial about Tim Cook by Patrick McGee, author of APPLE IN CHINA, who writes today in NYT, “Tim Cook Was Good For Investor. He Was Not Great For America”.
Walks talks and sews
Consistent
Scott lacks the self awareness that his comments about dictators and regimes absolutely apply to the communities that he inhabits Israel and is part of the the population that enjoys the oppression of anyone who doesn’t have white skin

Meh
Kara Swisher is okay, but Scott Galloway is completely insufferable. Why Kara wastes here time with that loser is one of the world’s biggest mysteries.

Lost a listener
Sorry, but after the platform if and praise heaped on Ben Shapiro, I’m done with Galloway. Sorry Kara! Love you and you need to find someone else to hang out with! Maybe team up with Nilay from the Verge?

How to watch” Kara wants to live forever” “ on demand
Oh Lordy, Scott, if you don’t know how to watch TV shows on demand on your TV do the following: On your remote control press the Guide key. Then press the demand key. Or If you are in NYC, you can go to channel 1000!

Ugh
Love Kara, can’t stand Scott. Never did like that guy. The show would be so much better without that entitled #%*@&. Pay your damn taxes and stop your privileged whining, Scottie.

Crutch
Overall the show is helpful but Kara usually throws one too many jabs at the idiots in charge. It is hard to grasp she’s a professional communicator because she relies on crutch phrases. Is a break ever not quick, Kara? Keep bringing the big guns, Scott!

Clueless Scott
You missed the entire point of what Rep Swalwell has been accused of Scott. He wasn’t involved in “office romance”….the accusations involve women being drugged and assaulted against their will. Either read about the topics before the show, or just admit that you haven’t paid attention.

Scott’s $300,000 a month budget
Learning about how the other half lives as they try and speak for us. Tax Scott at 90% please.

Stopped listening
I’ve listened to Pivot for a couple years now and do enjoy the conversation. But I’ve gotten tired of the interrupting and talking over that seems to happen constantly between Scott and Kara. This show would still be great if not for that. Perhaps set a time limit on talking points and off camera hints to indicate when someone wants to speak? I only have so much time to listen to podcasts and I’m not going to spend it listening to people talk like this.

Love love love
Favorite podcast. Kara and Scott are terrific. Really miss Scott when he’s not there. Kristen Soltis Anderson and Scaramucci were great guest hosts. They both were also able to smartly counter Kara with questionable comments she made, often comments that seem like filler with no substance. Kara please please stop saying “interesting” 1000x an episode. You are a writer and know you have a stronger facility with words. And let Scott talk vs the interruptions.

I Like Pivot
I’ve read a lot of dogging on Kara and Scott lately but I think they’re great. I wish I could have heard Scott’s ideas a few decades ago. I think he’s a pretty decent futurist. Sure, I’ve heard a few of his stories a few too many times but he seems to be pretty smart. Kara, too, with a big dose of snark. Haters gonna hate I guess but Pivot is worth a couple of hours of my time per week.
RobMajor
I just love Kara & Scott!
I'm a 41-year-old stay-at-home mom, and listening to Pivot has helped me stay connected to tech and business news. Your offer of multiple perspectives make me feel more confident around friends and family who always seem more confident in their opinions than I ever could. Thank you for creating this podcast, making complex topics accessible to people like me. It helps boost my confidence so much because, through the two of you, I know what's actually going on. You're both my favorites, and I hope some of your intelligence and humor can rub off on me!

Now featuring dumb bIondes
It’s usually an “I know important people” show, but now they invite dumb Republican bIondes. Nope!
Si ya saben como soy...
Is scott being red pilled?
I was shocked when he said the only people who vote in primaries/special elections are crazy people. Is he trying to demotivate voters? People are getting more active and more informed and he’s making it seem like a bad thing or like they’re nuts. I see many of the reviews are about his outlandish and outrageous viewpoints. But I guess rage drives money, we learned that from social media. So I imagine he will just keep going.

Don’t waste your time with this one. Pretentious, establishment arrogance attempting to connect with people who actually need real news and opinion. These two are more concerned with their appearances. F off.

Fail: More Scaramucci reputation laundering
Anthony Scaramucci has a neat trick: talking Trump down in public while working to enrich him and his family in private. While, I can only assume, enriching Kara Swisher. Otherwise it’s hard to square why she would engage in this grotesque level of reputation laundering. Again she proves herself to be a complete fraud.

Great Overview
I enjoy this podcast. It provides the overview I want. I l actually kind of like Scott’s jokes and find Kara’s forbearance amusing. That said, I would prefer that we let Scott speak interrupted when he’s being thoughtful, particularly on personal issues.
jacki_lorr
Kara-Are you that insecure….
that you have to interrupt every guest multiple times just to show that you “are the smartest person” in the conversation? Grow up, get some therapy, and quit interrupting guests to try and “prove yourself.” Very sad. Hope you get help. It’s quite irritating.
glimadoll
lovin' the mooch!
Anthony Scaramucci is proof people can change. He's still too conservative for me, but I really enjoy one. Kara has him on as a guest host. he is smart, funny and engaging and is a good substitute for Scott when Scott can't be there.
B. Birdell
Kara stop being such a prude.
Why are you cutting schumucci off when he gets going, that’s what makes the show worth listening to, don’t sound corporate.
Cheesey5678
Suggested Topic
Both Scott & Kara spend a fair amount of time discussing the declining audience for cable and broadcast programming. Next time, could you please also address what’s happening with talk radio? Talk radio at one point was a huge part of the national conversation. Thanks.
DevotedListenet
Jesus Christ, Scott. Just hold a position.
Bombing Iran was a good idea to you a month ago. Now the planners are idiots. They were dumb all along, and you weren’t worth our attention either.

Cannot stand these two

Zero Chemistry
Kara Swisher is great. Scott Galloway, when he’s on point, is great too. But when Scott veers off course, he kind of derails the podcast and comes off a cringe. That would be fine on its own, but Kara starts talking over him when this happens, and then they spiral into talking over each other. Super annoying. I’m starting to think they don’t actually have great chemistry—in those moments, it feels like they’re both trying to steal the show from each other. If they want to inject comedy into the podcast, they need to work on their chemistry.

Love these two. No matter the topic, always interesting always entertaining and love listening to incredibly smart people who know how to run a good podcast.

I absolutely love these two! They argue like I do with my siblings. They make me laugh, they make me cry, yet feel the never ending love between these two while arguing on the topics of the day. Cheers!

Scott’s decline
I can’t listen to Scott talk about Iran anymore…. Makes me lose too much respect for him that has built up over the years.

Georgia needs Scott!!
On a prior episode, Scott mentioned his desire to support critical democratic candidates. Jon Ossoff, US Senator in Georgia, is the guy! He must get re-elected and he’s in a difficult battle! Please consider supporting him! Love all your podcasts by the way! 😄
