Podcast is a great source for insights on the show and getting to know more about the details and behind the scenes action. Taking two stars away because of the host who isn’t very good at her job. It would be a much more pleasant experience had they kept the previous one.

Better host would raise the rating.

Cannot stand the host

Talk about someone who thinks she knows everything and is gods gift to man…. She’s excruciating to listen to

Not sure why kara swisher is hosting this. Succession is not a tech show. Pretty much every other podcast I’ve listened to on succession has been better. The host simply repeats the loglines and reviews of the show.

The guests are a delight to listen to but the host proves almost as unbearable as the Roy children themselves. Her tendency to interrupt and contradict her guests, presuming to have more insight into the show than its creators and actors, is grating. So wish we have do-overs with a different host!

I thought this would be a recap and explanation of the episodes. I don’t like it.

If you scan the reviews of this podcast, you find the host is repeatedly being characterized as “insufferable”. I think that descriptor applies perfectly. I’m not sure why HBO decided to replace the original host - who was funny, intelligent, engaging and knowledgeable about the show with this unprepared blow-hard who doesn’t ask good questions or let her guests talk!?! An incredible show that deserves a much better podcast to accompany it.

The previous host was so much better. Kara makes this show about topics outside of Succession. We don’t care about if this would be the same in real life. Let’s go back to talking to cast and their interpretations as it was for the first season of this podcast. Kara’s monotone obvious reading off of a piece of paper delivery is truly awful to listen to. How the heck did she get this job as a podcast host? Please HBO do not use Hosts who can’t deliver naturally

Hey Kara-I’m sick of hearing your bias about Fox News, Trump, etc. Also sick of you turning the convo back to yourself. Stick to the show. Your losing me. Fast.
