EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Pivot, featuring Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway, Right Wing Media Charts a New Course for Power and Influence | Pivot explores right-Wing Podcasts Eclipse Legacy Media As New Political Power Brokers The conversation explores how right-wing podcasts and news-commentary shows have become more influential than traditional media in shaping political opinion, especially among younger audiences. Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway note that many top news-commentary podcasts are hosted by conservative figures previously pushed out of mainstream TV, who have now built powerful independent platforms. They argue that Democrats and legacy outlets were slow to adapt, underestimating the reach and economic strength of podcasting and social media echo chambers. While defending the continued importance of institutions like The New York Times and Washington Post, they conclude that attention, money, and political influence are rapidly consolidating in the podcast ecosystem.
