Cannot stand the host
Book of Zach via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/13/24
No one speaks like that Roger. Much less on a Podcast. You sound so fake. Please stop ruining these series. You did the same thing in Band of Brothers podcast. Please man.

I loved Succession so was excited when I saw this podcast was available. It obviously has some very insightful interviews, particularly with Jesse and the director, with some of the cast too. I’m sorry to say it but I don’t think the host is a good fit for this. It doesn’t sound as though she...Read full review »

Talk about someone who thinks she knows everything and is gods gift to man…. She’s excruciating to listen to
bgq69 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 07/29/23
Not sure why kara swisher is hosting this. Succession is not a tech show. Pretty much every other podcast I’ve listened to on succession has been better. The host simply repeats the loglines and reviews of the show.

Podcast is a great source for insights on the show and getting to know more about the details and behind the scenes action. Taking two stars away because of the host who isn’t very good at her job. It would be a much more pleasant experience had they kept the previous one.

I thought this would be a recap and explanation of the episodes. I don’t like it.
Tlynn813 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/23
My main issue is the host, Kara, who regularly forces her own opinions and interpretations on both the listener and her guests which are oftentimes very different to ways the show could be interpreted. One of the beauty’s of succession is the things that are left out, leaving the viewer to make...Read full review »

If you scan the reviews of this podcast, you find the host is repeatedly being characterized as “insufferable”. I think that descriptor applies perfectly. I’m not sure why HBO decided to replace the original host - who was funny, intelligent, engaging and knowledgeable about the show with this...Read full review »
BiggieSmalls510 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/12/23
The previous host was so much better. Kara makes this show about topics outside of Succession. We don’t care about if this would be the same in real life. Let’s go back to talking to cast and their interpretations as it was for the first season of this podcast. Kara’s monotone obvious reading off...Read full review »
Unsatisfactorys via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/08/23
Potentially great and insightful interviews with very willing subjects are stubbed like cigarettes into wet poos by the hard cringe of the host’s bizarre sycophancy. It was a very weird stylistic choice.
nyalathotep via Apple Podcasts · New Zealand · 06/07/23
Hey Kara-I’m sick of hearing your bias about Fox News, Trump, etc. Also sick of you turning the convo back to yourself. Stick to the show. Your losing me. Fast.
Not compatable with Sierra via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/23
The guests are a delight to listen to but the host proves almost as unbearable as the Roy children themselves. Her tendency to interrupt and contradict her guests, presuming to have more insight into the show than its creators and actors, is grating. So wish we have do-overs with a different host!
CMorSha via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/06/23
Love Kara - she is well informed and prepared. Quite often her views are more interesting than the stars of the show. She also navigates Jeremy Strongs let’s say character perfectly. Hope to see her do more podcasts.
AJW* via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/02/23
Kara Swisher takes up too much space to host this podcast. I’m not familiar with her other work, but she overpowers this podcast. She doesn’t create a space that allows the interviewees to organically share the information in their heads. It’s unfortunate.
robertoqt via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/01/23
Please - I’ve read the New Yorker article and I have very limited patience for the pretension of actors but listening to Jeremy Strong - brilliant. Genuinely think he made Ken Roy and that actually it was an important role. Brilliant brilliant
fknf1 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/01/23
Enjoyed this as much as i enjoyed the show. Sad to see it go but the last episode had me laughing out loud with Logan send off. Well done 😊
Koprosc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/31/23
Kara swisher is so annoying. She responds so often with “I’ve seen that many times” it’s pathetic. Ruins the show
kielswon via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
I think Jeremy is a brilliant actor and clearly went deep in this role. I wonder why most of my friends and family refused to watch the series: bad people behaving badly, they say. They’ve missed the point: abusive power versus tortured love. Modern day Shakespeare.
Dealyplaza via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
Yes it was but it wore itself down and become repetitive, later seasons it feels like an SNL parody of itself. The host of this podcast is interesting and as glib as the characters in the show. She describes the Roy kids as not being “hugged enough” uhhh they were emotionally and physically...Read full review »
Bunny Cub via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
Swishers commentary and personal injection of her experience with the American elite creates a cringe podcast. Highly recommend Prestige TV pod for fans who want to take a deep dive into the characters and story with folks who love TV and Succession. Hoping Max won’t hire Swisher for future work,...Read full review »

ThisIsJules via Apple Podcasts · Nigeria · 05/30/23
Each time I listen to this I come away despising Kara Swisher more and more. She brags that she knows tech billionaires. She turns the conversation back to herself incessantly. She’s condescending to the actual talented people she is interviewing. How did she get this gig??There are so many...Read full review »

Kara is not a great host. Abrasive.
Happyplantlady via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/30/23
Host's constant interjections "I've been at parties like that", "I know these people in real life", "I've advised tech leaders" etc. are tiresome, self-important and render this show unlistenable.Read full review »

Kara does amazing job interviewing the guests. She can give a MasterClass of podcast interviewing. Wonderful! I wish it was more
FashionMaven123 via Apple Podcasts · France · 05/30/23
Love Kara, love the format. Will miss it now the show has finished!
Saf4455 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 05/30/23
I’m sure the host is a successful, accomplished woman. But this show is not about her, her political beliefs, or her opinions about people. When the podcast is actually about Secession, I enjoy it. I just wish the host would simply host. I’m begging you, please re-record the last few episodes...Read full review »
aliga75 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
Must listen to companion to the show. I love Kara Swisher’s sardonic and informed take on this world. Podcast reflects her deep background in tech but also her fandom for the show. And I enjoy hearing ft the actors, writers and directors who make the show.
Uplate playing via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/30/23
Loving the insight from the creators, actors, and consultants. So much goes into the making of this show and I will never not be impressed with the writing, directing, and incredible acting. Can’t help but laugh at the snowflake one star reviews, amazing how just being a woman brings the bigotry...Read full review »

Loved this interview with Skarsgard and Strong. I enjoyed KS’s questions, but I have some also, that would love to ask. Observation: After hearing JS speak to the park bench looking out at the water scene. Of course I thought, he’ll jump. When he didn’t I was relieved. Kendall had hope for...Read full review »

I love this show so so so much. Succession. Not this podcast. Kara Swisher is so self righteous and her constant virtue signaling is so tiresome.
rrt745 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
The season finale was horrible! It was the worst I have ever seen! Shiv is a horrible person and I hope the show doesnt go on and on that it was in any way good
Carp2033 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
Kara Swisher is a good host, but how does she get interviews in her day job? She makes no secret of her contempt for everyone she’s interviewed in the tech & business world. It’s hysterical, but wow—I don’t know how can she get anyone to talk to her knowing what she thinks of them.
Casnh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
She is among other things dismissive, arrogant, controlling, not sincerely interested in her interviewers, and just a plain turn off.
Wutang North inc via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
Kara Swisher is the perfect host of a podcast about a perfect show. No one interviews better. Never miss an episode. I love Kara Swisher.
lgavs via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/29/23
So excited for the finale tonight and for the last episode of this podcast!
sylviabk via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
Great inside baseball but Swisher’s TDS grows tiresome.
Jolene Dupree via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/28/23
Amazing as always but Jeremy thinks he is Picasso and it’s just not there.. I see the guy from the happening ..

This podcast sticks
BrooklynDogWalks via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
Love the cast input but the host has an agenda. Her rants minimize the writer’s’ talents.
Chickie S via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/25/23
Show took a major nose dive. Each episode is worst than the last. Why even bring the show back if you had nothing left to add? No substance. Filler
Drea2550 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/24/23
TLDR; Corporate HBO PR garbage. For a fan oriented podcast get Slate Money Succession. If the host was a male it would described as Toxic The host, Kara Swisher has one talent, being a fierce attack dog, charmless but effective and vicious, she is good at interviews but she has not business...Read full review »
Cyclotrom via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/23
I freakin love this show. It is a shame that the host is so obviously partisan with her politics. She only has guests that are leftists, or the Obama staffer, with their slants to talk smack. WHY RUIN A GOOD THING with a host that can’t get past herself? I would really love to talk about the...Read full review »
mrsdago2008 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/23/23
I enjoy most of the questions by the host, the playback of scenes and commentary by the actors/writers, BUT the host is too liberal/left-leaning, and it kind of biases the listener way too much. Her opinions shouldn’t influence the discussions. A centered Independent non-biased interviewer...Read full review »

Would much rather hear an analysis on each episode. Don’t want to hear from a celebrity funeral planner! Who cares!!!!
Jay$$420 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/22/23
Would it kill them to be unbiased? Superfluous, unnecessary discussion of nothingness.
clippzin via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/18/23
Let your guests talk! We are not interested in your story. She makes the classic interviewer mistake of thinking she is the star.
Pickle Ickes via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 05/18/23
A valuable asset for us to get a deeper perspective into the fascinating characters on each episode of Succession Kara is great host because she doesn’t waste a word or a moment of time. A fabulous no-nonsense approach.
Zed_55 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/17/23
I love the show but the podcast is terrible. It is about 60% content about the show and 40% political commentary from the host. Hard pass.
