What Pivot covers

Kara and Scott discuss the week's biggest stories in tech, business and politics, including AI, with predictions and occasional guests.

Predictions and occasional guests round out the conversation; recent episodes range from Mark Cuban on drug prices to Meta, data center wars and pushback on AI slop.

Who it's for

Our take: Pivot is for general business and tech listeners who want opinionated commentary on tech, business and politics. For more shows like it, see our best tech podcasts list.

AI is one thread among tech, business and politics here, so expect it to come up alongside other news rather than as the whole show. The Tuesday and Friday schedule makes it a steady twice-weekly listen, and the two-host panel format gives you two distinct points of view in every episode.
