Galloway's Democratic midterm fears give Pivot a fifteen-times start

The episode pulled far ahead while the podcast's channel as a whole, and several political shows around it, ran well below their usual pace.

Why Scott Galloway Is So Worried about Democrats' Midterm Chances

A new Pivot episode usually spends its first day gathering around ten thousand views. "Why Scott Galloway Is So Worried about Democrats' Midterm Chances" had nearly 120,000 before it had been up a full day. It also drew several hundred comments beside its likes.

The rest of the channel was not having that kind of day. Pivot's overall daily views were running at well under half their normal level, and other political shows of a similar size, Pod Save the World and MoveOn among them, were also quieter than usual. One episode moved sharply against that current.

Pivot is the show where tech journalist Kara Swisher and NYU marketing professor Scott Galloway trade opinions on business, technology and politics. The title of this one puts a single view at the center: Galloway is uneasy about how the Democrats will fare in the midterm elections. It is his name alone in the title, not the pair's.
