Clinton and Swisher Set Midterms Podcast for October 14

Hillary Clinton and journalist Kara Swisher are launching High Stakes, a limited-run podcast about the 2026 U.S. midterm elections, with its first episode scheduled for October 14. The weekly series is planned to run through mid-November in the On With Kara Swisher podcast feed, according to the announcement by Vox Media and the hosts. The podcast will examine the election and races for control of Congress, with planned topics including the cost of living, healthcare and technology. Clinton and Swisher also plan to feature guests with differing viewpoints for discussions and debate, according to the announcement. The midterm elections are scheduled for November 3. The series is a collaboration with Vox Media. The company said it expects to develop additional projects with Clinton and Swisher, but has not detailed what those projects would involve. Clinton and Swisher are also set to share advertising revenue generated by High Stakes episodes, according to reports on the deal. The podcast has been announced as a limited series, rather than an ongoing show.
