Vox Media Podcast Network Expands Partnership with Kara Swisher & Scott Galloway’s Pivot Podcast

The Vox Media Podcast Network (VMPN) announced that it is expanding its partnership with journalist Kara Swisher and NYU professor Scott Galloway, doubling down on their award-winning business podcast Pivot and setting it up for continued expansion in 2021 at its home at VMPN and New York Magazine. VMPN will also be the new home for Galloway’s podcast The Prof G Show, which is joining the network from Westwood One.

With a new long term commitment to continue growing Pivot as a multi-platform franchise, plans this year include new forays into video; a further expansion into live events following the success of last year’s Pivot Schooled event, which attracted thousands of paying guests from 25 countries; and more. Galloway will continue to be a periodic voice on New York Magazine’s Intelligencer, where Pivot episodes also appear. Pivot’s audience, reaching today and tomorrow’s business leaders, is up about 50% in 2021 over 2020, following a year of strong growth when the show joined New York Magazine.

Given Pivot’s momentum as part of VMPN, and the network’s leadership in the business podcast category, Scott Galloway is bringing his The Prof G Show to the network. Effective April 1, VMPN will take over all sales, marketing, and distribution for the show, further growing the network’s audience base while unlocking new opportunities for advertisers. The Prof G Show launched in 2020 and covers business, technology, and entrepreneurship, featuring Galloway’s unique insights and advice, while hosting other professors, entrepreneurs, and journalists to help listeners navigate the innovation economy. Additionally, Prof G will move from weekly to twice-weekly, with episodes released on Mondays and Thursdays.

“We’re excited to bring more Pivot to listeners (plus viewers, readers, and event-goers) this year, as Scott and I help our audience make sense of new developments in tech, business, media and more, heading into the post-covid world,” says Swisher.

“Kara and Vox Media have been great partners. I look forward to continued growth at Pivot and Prof G,” says Galloway.

Vox Media recently announced plans to bring Swisher’s Code conference back as an in-person event in September 2021 in Los Angeles.
