The “Woke” Smithsonian, South Park’s Latest Dig at Trump, and Co-Host Wesley Morris

Wait, there's a Claude? Claude, yes, anthropic. Who's Claude? Hi everyone, this is Pivot from New York magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher and August rolls on.

Welcome back to Gotri August. Do you like that? Do you like our sting? Okay, Scott is still, before I introduce you, yes, Scott is still away and I know he misses me terribly. He's been posting a lot, pretending he's still on the show, but pretty much he's gone and uh he's sitting on the beach wishing because there's so much news.

But in his place, once again, I have yet another amazing co-host. He's a critic at large for the New York Times and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, which Scott will never win, and the host of The Times's brand new podcast, Cannonball. It's Wesley Morris. I I can't believe uh this is happening to Scott again. I mean, it's week day after day.
