God, Kara Swisher is perhaps the most annoying tech journalist on the planet. Her "analysis" consists of inserting random name-drops that are completely unrelated to the topic at hand and then regurgitating the analysis of smarter people without any additional value add.

It seems Kara Swisher's entire reason for existing is for expressing disdain. In any organization she'd be that political person who adds no value to projects but rises due to her expertise at networking and name dropping.

I much prefer the journalists on the Economist podcast and the people on The Weeds (Vox) and FiveThirtyEight.

I really bought into the hype and gave her a try - she adds absolutely nothing to the conversation.

The a16z podcasts are way better - I can't recall the name of the ladies who generally host that but they are much more effective interviewers and analysts.
