Kara Swisher is saying goodbye to The New York Times after four years with the newspaper, serving as a tech and media columnist and co-hosting the hit podcast “Sway.”
Furthermore, Swisher has a new job lined up as she will be returning to Vox Media to host a brand new interview podcast. The new show is scheduled to launch in the fall and the company intends to introduce it at Vox Media’s upfront event Vox Media Now, on June 9.
“I’m 60 years old this year, I’ve made a lot of stuff for a lot of people,” Swisher said in an interview, per Bloomberg. “I want to do what I want to do. I want to make whatever I want to make, and I think that’s a great thing.”
Swisher’s association with Vox Media goes back years after she and her business partner Walt Mossberg sold their technology website and business, Recode, to Vox Media in 2015.
“One good thing about working with a company like Vox is they’re very open to entrepreneurial ways,” she said. “Every media company should be thinking about talent.”
Furthermore, Swisher desires to move away from regular writing and concentrate more on podcasting and events, like the invite-only Code conference she hosts with the company.
