    Ina Garten’s Next Course? A Podcast | On With Kara Swisher

    Pivot is off for the holiday, so we're bringing you a special treat: Kara's recent "On With Kara Swisher" interview with Ina Garten!

    Ina has built a culinary empire by way of simple, delicious recipes for the home cook. After two decades on The Food Network and more than a dozen cookbooks, she’s launching a new podcast with the Vox Media Podcast Network this month, called “Happy Hour With Ina Garten.”

    Ina and Kara talk about Ina’s plans for her new show, making the leap from traditional platforms to independent media, and what she'll get to do on podcasts that she couldn't do on TV. They also talk about the ways social media is reshaping our relationship to cooking and the people Ina turns to for inspiration.

    Happy Hour with Ina Garten premieres Wednesday, September 16th. Subscribe to the show on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
