Clinton and Swisher team up for new political podcast ahead of midterms

Hillary Clinton and Kara Swisher are launching a new political podcast titled High Stakes, scheduled to debut on October 14 as the third episode of the On With Kara Swisher series produced by Vox Media for New York magazine. The program will focus on pressing topics like the cost of living, health-care policy and the role of technology as the United States heads into the November 3 midterm elections, featuring guests who argue from different sides of each issue.

Clinton emphasized that the upcoming election carries unprecedented importance for the nation and its citizens, and praised Swisher as an ideal co-host for candid conversation. Swisher, who recently announced her exit from one outlet after a corporate acquisition, said the show will blend debate with humor and noted their strong on-air chemistry. Their partnership follows earlier collaborations, including Clinton’s guest appearance on Swisher’s Pivot podcast earlier this year, and signals further joint projects with Vox Media.
