Bob Iger’s Rough Ride, Record-Breaking Heat Waves and Guest Ashlee Vance
About this episode
Kara and Scott discuss Tesla’s Cybertruck, Tucker Carlson’s new media company, and a drop in Threads engagement. Also, Bob One’s contract has been extended after a rough first year, and SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher has him in her crosshairs. Plus, Earth is experiencing its hottest days on record. What does that mean for politics and infrastructure? Then we’re joined by Friend of Pivot Ashlee Vance to talk all things space and Elon Musk.
You can find Ashlee on Twitter at @ashleevance and can buy his book here.
