Nepotism and forced humour
"And now, for his in-depth political analysis, Kara Swisher's 19 year old son - live from his holiday in Argentina". I have been a listener of this show since the beginning and I have enjoyed it for most of that time, but over the past few months it's getting harder to stay a listener.

The result is a grating and cringe-worthy back and forth which I'm sure is genuine offline but when the mic is on feels inauthentic and forced.
