“Please ask Senator Cantwell on Monday how she see’s the FAA Reauthorization Bill playing out. It contains everything from what type of baby seats that can be used on an airline, to drones, to landing slots in DC, to mandatory pilot retirement age. Kara, would you rather have a captain with 27...”Read full review »

“Kara is a stellar interviewer and gets A-class guests. I like that she is well informed on the topic and pushes back in the interview to get at a deeper understanding than having just listened to the guest lecture (which I feel happens in other podcasts). Only rarely do you need to tone it down a...”Read full review »

“Interesting guests, but the host lacks the humility to realise she is way out of her depth, yet still wags fingers at them if they deviate from her dogmatic views.”

“Been a pivot listener for years, and sometimes listen to this podcast as well. I was excited when she interviewed the author of the anxious generation.
In this interview, Cara was unreasonably argumentative with the author even though her perspective is pretty much just because “she is a mother...”Read full review »

She claims to be a great journalist but a great journalist doesn't...”Read full review »

“Kara Swisher has a HUGE ego & talks tough but she can be quite gutless. Rather than being an upfront, objective journalist she constantly references personal feelings and beefs with subjects and she will even second guess their opinions, which have bearing on her, after an interview. Her wrap...”Read full review »

“You platformed haidt the reactionary nut job that is taking the same almost verbatim argument about television and shifting it to cell phones…. And still failing to propose real solutions to online bulling and why we still live in a society that promotes negative feedback loops.”

“I’ve learned much from this podcast and Kara’s ability to speak plainly about and to her subjects from.

“just listen to one of your podcasts and you are not mean. You ask tough questions, and questions that are important and people interpret that as mean, that’s their problem. As you said, what did I ask that was mean, might have been uncomfortable, but it wasn’t me.”

“Tough fair and direct. Is there a better interviewer?
One ding, she shouldn’t lie to her friend Don Lemon about his train wreck Musk interview. Lemon misunderstood and misstated Musk at every turn. Allowed Musk to seem thoughtful and logical in comparison.”
