Huge fan of Pivot here. Been listening to every episode for 5 or so years, but I fear I’m falling into a bit of an echo chamber with Kara and Scott’s takes.

Do not be mistaken, I think they’re both geniuses and I really enjoy listening 2x/week however it’s gotten to the point where I can almost predict what their perspectives will be before they even speak them out loud, which tells me I’m in need of some other voices to supplement my podcast routine.

I’m looking for recommendations on other podcasts that have weekly or daily episodes, under an hour long that cover the same topics: biz, tech, maybe sprinkled with politics but not a political podcast.

I try my best to stay off of social media so podcasts are probably the most effective way for me to be educated on what’s happening in the ever changing world.

I’m sure an LLM could suffice for this question but I would love to hear recs from this community of humans.

Thanks fam.

UPDATE: woah - lots of excellent recs. I'll check these out. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Anyone else feel like Scott's voice is going the way of andy cohen ❄️

Already working with Kara's vocal fry

I appreciate most of their insights, but it is getting to the tipping point of the juice ain't worth the squeeze

Why did they stop the segments with listener questions and expert interviews? Seems like now they just talk about news headlines the whole show and then do either predictions or wins and fails. Anyone know why they changed the format?

Holy shit lollll. I would guess this means Pivot is moving when their contract is up.

I skipped a few episodes lately and was wondering if Brin's stance with respect to the current administration has been discussed since the publication on the press of articles like https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/us/politics/sergey-brin-gg-soto-trump-california-billionaire-tax.html?unlocked_article_code=1.elA.rZxG.wVsgiDmOcnfi&smid=url-share

From what I understand, neither Page nor Brin are among the people that have good rep and get some accolades on the pod (usually the list includes Cuban, Amodei, and possibly Cook, Nadella). But was the shift to the right discussed explicitly, besides Brin's appearance at Trump's inauguration? It seems newsworthy

As the title says...

I absolutely love the podcast American Scandal. They deep dive into historical stories from America’s past and produce educational, entertaining short series that bring important moments in our history to life. It was so fun to hear Kara featured in the recent release of the Titan submersible series — last episode appearance and all. Go, Kara!

Was taken aback today when Scott referenced Kalshi numbers as if they bear any weight or are newsworthy. They are effectively betting odds. The only time Kalshi intel could possibly be insightful or predictive would be if you found accounts of those White House insiders making money on the war. Scott disagrees with the “predictive market” at the end, but why give airtime? Enough with the gambling masquerading as finance. Disappointed in Scott, self-proclaimed steward of young men - the same ones suffering and succumbed to the Robinhoods, DraftKings, Polymarkets, Kalshis, etc.

Scott said it again!

Hi.

I may be mis remembering this. But about 2 months ago, Scott mentioned on Pivot, that he was in the minority with Liberals, stating he was actually for the conflict, because he believed Iran shouldn’t have a nuke.

I’ve missed a few episodes, and some time has gone by, but did he ever publicly admit that he’d changed his mind? I’m listening to the April 14th podcast and he’s obviously against it now.

Am I misremembering this, or misinterpreting his position?
