On with Kara Swisher: Why Ben Stiller Made Severance

Ben Stiller knew he needed to make Severance the moment he read an early version of the show in a writing sample its creator, Dan Erickson, submitted to his production company. Now, years later, Severance is a hit, reportedly generating $200 million for Apple TV, and Stiller is the series’ executive producer and go-to director responsible for some of its most pivotal episodes. Kara talks to Stiller about the most poignant themes of the show, from its commentary on surveillance and technology to its meditations on trauma and identity. Plus, they chat politics — including Stiller’s reaction to an angry post about him by Elon Musk and his view on making political art now. Listen to more from On with Kara Swisher here.

I love this podcast. Great mix of silly banter, confident and clearly expressed opinions, and encouragement for lefties in the new wilderness of Trump 2.0. Kara is super smart, Scott is goofy but also very articulate.
