35 分钟In the first episode of the Succession podcast, host Kara Swisher unpacks the season three premiere episode, “Secession,” which features a deliciously awkward phone call between Gerri and the president’s press secretary. Kara is joined by former White House Communications Director, Jennifer Palmieri to talk about real life media conglomerates lobbying the White House, and whether Waystar’s move was savvy, or just a complete disaster. Kara also ranks which character is up in this week’s episode, who’s down, and who made the most surprising power move.

Hi, everyone, and welcome to the official succession podcast from HBO and Pineapple street studios.
There's blood in the water.
Sharks are coming.
You know, my husband is a player in this, and in one world, there's.
I'm in a position to come out here as CEO.
You destroy Kendall, it falls apart.
I'm kara swisher, and I report on finance and, of course, power.
So I love succession.
Each week we'll be talking about what happens on the show and talking to some of the people who make it.
But mostly I'll be unpacking how the real world is reflected in the world on screen.
This is like OJ.
I mean, except if OJ never killed anyone.
Who said I never killed anyone?
Okay, so this week on succession, Logan's inner circle is in full crisis mode.
Kendall's public rebellion has left his father and the company in a spiral.
The cruise ship scandal looms large.
I want everyone lawyered up.
Longtime general counsel Jerry kellman calls the White House press secretary.
She wants to get a temperature read on any potential investigation.
The president is basically supportive, but they think it might be best for there not to be a call with you on the White House log today.
