New Vox Interview Podcast called "On with Kara Swisher" Starts September 26th

 Writer, author, and podcaster Kara Swisher has one of those resumes that can make yours on Indeed look, well, inferior. Swisher has worked for The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, is a published author, started the Recode website and is known for being an intense interviewer. 

She's also known for wearing aviator sunglasses indoors due to a sensitivity to bright lights. Does she wear the sunglasses while podcasting?

Now, Swisher via New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network have announced a new interview podcast. 

Eponymously Called On with Kara Swisher, the twice-weekly show will help listeners make sense of the moment through agenda-setting conversations between Swisher and some of the most powerful people in Silicon Valley, Washington and Hollywood. 

Vox announced her new podcast like this: "Swisher will deliver her signature hard-hitting interviews, which over the years have included figures such as President Barack Obama, Bill Gates, Bob Iger, Elon Musk, Kim Kardashian, Mark Zuckerberg, Stacey Abrams, and Tim Cook. She’ll push her guests beyond their talking points, and also reveal a more unfiltered Swisher – looser, more opinionated and full of advice, solicited and unsolicited."

While it's hard to believe that the show will offer a "more unfiltered Swisher," she does boast an impressive array of upcoming guests. Interviewing Bill Gates, then Kim Kardashian. That's a pivot.

The trailer is out, with new episodes of the show released on Mondays and Thursdays, beginning September 26th.

“In a sense, On with Kara Swisher is the show I’ve been working on since I first started podcasting in 2015. It marries some of the best parts of my past interview shows — the live journalism of Recode Decode and Sway with the voiciness and community aspects of Pivot,” says Swisher. “This is an exciting new chapter for me, and I think you’ll be able to hear that in the show.”

Swisher will continue co-hosting Pivot, the award-winning tech and business podcast she helms with NYU Stern Marketing professor Scott Galloway. She was formerly a contributing Opinion writer at The New York Times, and host of the podcast, Sway.

Hanna Rosin and Nayeema Raza are the executive producers of On with Kara Swisher. The show’s senior producers are Blakeney Schick and Cristian Castro Rossel. The show joins an audio slate at New York Magazine that includes Pivot, investigative series Cover Story, culture podcasts Into It, Switched on Pop, and Good One, and more. 

Listen to the trailer for On with Kara Swisher, and follow the show on Apple PodcastsSpotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
