Sway

Sway, another podcast produced by the New York Times, consists of Kara Swisher asking influential figures tough questions, and it is a champion for accountability. Swisher pulls no punches, and it is so satisfying.

The podcast relies heavily on current events, meaning that every guest on the show has something important and relevant to add to the conversation. Some of the most interesting episodes have included Nobel Prize winner Dr. Jennifer Doudna, Parler CEO John Matze, comedian Sarah Cooper, and billionaire Mark Cuban.

The show has given me more perspective on everything from big tech companies’ roles in politics to biological advancements to the stock market. It’s safe to say that much of Sway’s value comes from its wide variety of topics, honest journalism, and excellent host. 

Episodes to start off with: 

“Should You Choose Your Baby’s Eye Color?”

“If You Were on Parler, You Saw the Mob Coming”
