What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Listen religiously to this podcast. Most insightful discussion on tech and business that I have found their chat.. In addition, kara Swisher Is truly excellent at articulating, both the official narrative and the subtext of the news of the day. Scott Galloway offers great insight on investing and marketing. That said, please ignore pretty much everything he says in the political arena. From foreign affairs, to elections he gets it wrong again and again and again and again. In fact, I find the most value in hearing what he says and predicts in the political realm and assuming the opposite will happen. All that said, the chemistry between the two posts are fantastic and I always enjoy

These two know SO much. Kara and Scott offer experienced and interesting perspective on current events and what’s happening in tech. I found it refreshing to hear their unpacking of the election results in the context of so many other elements I didn’t really consider. From reading the reviews it’s clear this pod has appeared on some t*rump trolls list who are coming after Kara - ignore those idiots, this is such an excellent pod.

somedaypelicans · Nov 2024

I love the back and forth between you two. You know how to disagree amicably and we need more of that. Scott thank you for being man enough to admit when you are wrong. I appreciate your thoughtful insight on the young man crisis. Kara I found you because another podcaster mentioned your name and I looked you up. Thank you for your years of accurate reporting and being true to who you are. Although I don’t agree with you on everything, I really enjoy your thoughtful conversations and letting yourselves be vulnerable at times. Thank you. An avid listener

Shaharah L · Nov 2024

In the wake of Trump’s win, the only thing I want to listen to is Kara and Scott’s take on what comes next. It’s been three long days of waiting for Friday’s episode but knowing that it’s coming gives me peace of mind in a way that nothing else can right now. Thanks for all you do.

_luxlisbon · Nov 2024

Sadly had to unsubscribe after listening regularly for a couple years. Kara has increasingly injected conversations with high school- level gossip and subjective takes (“I sat next to them”, “they hate women, they’re sad, they’re weird, etc.”). Yikes. It’s not what I was tuning in for, and judging by others’ reviews, many feel the same.

Out_of_doors · Oct 2024

I’ve been a listener for ages and I can’t continue. I often enjoy Scott’s brash style and bold opinions whether I agree or not. But his outspoken support of the murder of Palestinian civilians is completely unconscionable. And Kara’s seeming refusal to discuss it is an endorsement by omission. I will miss having these viewpoints every week, but we all have our line and I have found mine.
