I have been critical of Swisher in the past, but fair is fair. Swisher and her guests are firing on all cylinders here. The importance of this discussion CANNOT be overstated. Share this episode with everyone you know.

Way too many commercials…you are forcing people to skip them

Kara does not tell the truth.

Introduction of Bill Gates- and Kara brags about how many times she interviewed him??? Bill Gates….One of the most impressive humans on Earth and Kara still talks about herself?? How long is this podcast going to last? Kara, you should know the fundamentals of interviewing….. it's not about YOU. Please stop talking and bragging about yourself. You are obnoxious and should learn to listen and be gracious to your guest.

Kara really needs to go see a therapist for her obsession of Musk…. It has gotten way out of hand. Kara is also confusing her own opinions on Tesla as facts! WE GET IT! YOU HATE MUSK.

1-Star Kara in all her glory.

For a 50+ wmn, Kara is my go-to for keeping up with this ever changing world of tech. I may not be “in the game” anymore, but I still want to be informed.

Kara's bitterness is almost rabid. Please take a breath and allow your guests to answer a question. As Larry King always said the interview should never be about you!! Your obsession with Musk is tiring.

Long-time listener. Will keep listening and yet sometimes very tone-deaf.

Kara, it's very dangerous to humiliate malignant narcissists. It engenders a need for revenge. (By way of example, Obama's hilarious roast of Trump.) Please lay off Musk. You're just goading him. He gets too much attention. It's possible to criticize him without ridiculing him. You know he's dangerous. Please also stop interrupting your guests. I adore you, but it's a bad look. Especially when it's because they're not saying what you want them to (e.g. Interview with Buttigieg, and so many others.

Excellent interview and discussion with HRC! So interesting I have pre ordered her book. Thank you

Cannot be considered a journalist when there’s an agenda to skew the truth and limit information.

Hey Kara, take your everything political one track opinion out of it and look at the facts. Otherwise you’ll continue to sound stupid.

… a groundbreaking reporter whose ego has grown fairly large and though it is acceptable in the home stretch of the career, sometimes the lack of self awareness irritates.

Digging all the insightful guests you have on. I listen weekly, but these conversations are among my favorite. Ilana Glazer Isabel Wilkerson Ava DuVernay Beene Brown Caster Semenya Tracy Chapman’s Timeless Ear Worms Steve Inskeep Nicholas Kristof Suzan-Lori Parks Jonathan Haidt Judy Woodruff Heather Cox Richardson Christiane Amanpour Julia Louis-Dreyfus Anne Lamott Martina Navratilova

Kara asks the right questions and invites the right guests, no matter the topic. Her candor and direct talk is refreshing. Should be one of your go-to podcasts for sure.

Excellent episode, great guests

Wonderful interviews, almost without fail. Kara is the greatest and this is the best interview podcast that I know of. Just please, God, no more Today Explained ads…

Four stars instead of five after I lost track of the number of times she bragged how well and how long she’s known Speaker Pelosi in an otherwise excellent episode. This was entirely one-sided, ie, Pelosi never once acknowledged that they’ve known each other “forever.” Reminds me of the Hollywood types who line their walls with pix of them posing with Hanks and Clooney. Kara, your interviews make it clear that you have excellent sources and credibility. Please stop with the rest of it!

If you want to hear Kara get put in her place, Nancy Pelosi is the one who can do it. Great podcast.

Unfortunately this previously awesome podcast is becoming closer to the woke-Olympics week by week. As someone who leans left, I like listening to different, opposing views, and recently it’s just been the super left talking to the woke left Update: after reviewing some of the other comments clearly I’m wrong because both the right and left are upset— that’s how you know you’re killing it

Everything always comes back Kara knowing everyone first and needing to be right about everything. She is friends with seriously evil people but somehow she doesn’t think it clouds her judgment. She argues both sides of every topic, and so she’s always right... What happened to Kara?

Kara, that was such a beautiful interview with Ron Klain. He’s such an amazing and good man, and his love for Joe Biden is so touching. Especially his answer to your last question. Had me weeping. I love them both.

You think its funny to joke about someone, anyone, getting shot. You liberals are sick pathological ignorant heartless soulless fools. Shame on you and Michael. You claim people on the right and T is mean and hateful and all the things for fools are. You people are just sick.

What a disgusting garbage human being she is. She is joking about the attempted assassination on Donald Trump where a man was murdered protecting his family. What a disgusting human being swisher is.

Thanks for reason and independent thought .

I was just ez

Kara Swisher went and to ageist character assassination against Joe Biden and the went into full meltdown mode when called out. This is an elitist pundit insisting we are crazy if we disagree. Swisher isn’t reporting the news and this isn’t journalism. Narcissistic behavior on full display.

I liked several episodes I listened to, but after a while, I got tired of Kara Swisher name dropping and telling us how she knew things before everyone else did. I’d rather listen to her producer than her. I just heard Kara on another podcast and it reminded me why I stopped listening to this. She couldn’t admit to being wrong about a very trivial thing. So weird. I don’t think she’s as smart as she thinks she is. If her producer starts her own podcast, I’d listen to that.

Omg!!! Full disclosure, I’ve listened to Wiser from the get go. Love love love! I lost my mom when I was a teenager, 45 yrs ago. I’ve been looking for the wisdom of older women ever since. Fabulous interview, thank you Kara. The closing comment on the afterlife hit a strong chord with me, brought me to tears. It is truly about the echo. Thank you for all you do, it has true impact

Kara has the best music in podcast history! It’s rockin’!!!! From a new follower.

Biden should start using a wheelchair & just dare Conservatives to say something.

she would enunciate in the 21st c the following sentence as a self-proclaimed tech guru: “I’ve never thought newspaper delivery was a particularly effective way of getting information disseminated”…….. the level of arrogance is simply astounding none of her personal or professional opinionating to be taken other than as offhand blathering, though certainly if absorbed in this vein not without its highlights especially in the company of amusing guests

I can’t subscribe to this podcast and live with myself due to the interview with an avowed Islamophobe. Ask yourselves if you’d interview an open anti-Semite.

I love this podcast. And I love JLD’s Wiser that Me so I was stoked to listen to this one. It did not disappoint. Live listening to you talk about everything and it’s so surprising to hear you say literally just about exactly what I’m thinking. I agree that your interview with your son was great. Keep it up!

Kara, You may not realize it, but you are a national treasure!! I listen to Pivot and other pods. Totally clear vision and willing to tell the truth no matter the subject matter. Keep on keeping on!!

First Cecile is absolutely amazing and as always Kara did an incredible interview. The most impressive aspect was taking questions from Karlie. Truly amazed by the insightful thought behind her questions and Cecile’s efforts with Charley. Can’t thank you enough for bringing both of these together and highlighting this incredible App!!!

Kara has some interesting stories and takes on the technology industry just by the amount of time she’s been a journalist and her experience. She can be arrogant and condescending. I think some of the conclusions she draws on events outside of her expertise are often wrong or uninteresting. I liked how Bill Maher shut down the comments her son made about him which she thought were so smart (they were predictable, uninteresting and lazy) and she had no real follow-up except repetition. She’s soft on people she likes, such as AOC. There was no questioning on the “defund the police” mantra that cost democrats so much.

Oof. Major goof and journalistic failure on Swisher’s part in May 30th interview with Maher. After an audio clip from Mehdi Hassan, Swisher asserted that Hassan is “pointing out that the vast majority of people who are being killed are women and children.” Not in that audio clip he didn’t. And if he had, as a journalist it would have been incumbent on Swisher to correct him — because per even UN figures, about half the number is men, and half combined women and children, including teenagers being categorized as children. The mistaken assertion about the proportion of deaths has been voiced as a propaganda point, but is not actually a fact, and repeating it or even accepting it as an assertion is not appropriate for a journalist. Otherwise it was a good interview.

Kara is biased in all thought and opinion as well as an unapologetic misandrist. Zero guests that *gasps* disagree with her biases. Learn nothing.

I always feel smarter and more prepared for this crazy world having listened to Kara and her guests. Thank God for people like Kara - and there are only a handful.

You are so impressed with yourself, and have the need to hear yourself talking all of the time, that you make a terrible interviewer. Shut up and let your guests talk!!!!! You are very tiresome.

The two most supercilious blow-hards in media on one podcast! No thank you.

Bill Maher lately has been painful to watch him interview or be interviewed. You did an amazing job and pushed back often. He has a tendency lately to talk over people trying too hard to get his point across which is infuriating at times. You are right he has changed in recent years. Great show and interview thank you.

Please give this long time listener information on what happened with her. I don’t recall seeing or hearing anything about it. My apologies if I missed it.

You’re so much better than this, Kara! Bill Maher comes across as an old, white cranky pants. Who loves to talk about weed. Who cares? I cannot describe my visceral reaction to his responses as you read your son’s questions to him. He describes young people as woke and entitled, but I’m afraid the latter description came across as pure projection. Talk about full of himself. And I’m 60! I enjoy your show a lot but I don’t know why entertainers like this are enabled by being given a serious interview. It was the first interview of yours that I turned off early.

Why when we listen in to hear an interview with real people with important ideas do we have to constantly hear what your son says. Please stop platforming your children. They are not as profound as you think and interfere with what could be a good show.

They’re all motivated by money now even RH as the fear of losing what one has is a fact of human nature. Kara has the sensibility of a journalist whereas some of her discussion guests do not and cannot understand what that feels like as a calling, a vocation. For that reason I love to listen to her podcast versus others’ podcasts. believe in her commitment to what I believe is a genuine, heart-backed perspective. I don’t believe you can choose it - it chooses you.

Kara brings all her experience to help people understand the impact of tech in today’s culture

Her takes consistently sound uninformed and vague. She struggles to put thoughts together and is not a compelling speaker. She struggles to verbally form a thought. However, she cannot stop herself from interrupting speakers and talking about herself.
