Hillary Clinton talking at the 2026 Clinton Global Initiative meeting JP Yim/Getty Images Hillary Clinton is set to return to the podcasting game, partnering with journalist Kara Swisher for a new show, High Stakes, that will air in the lead-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
High Stakes will debut Wednesday, Oct. 14, and will be distributed via the same feed as Swisher’s other show, On With Kara Swisher. New episodes will air weekly through mid-November as the pair discuss the major issues and races in the control for Congress ahead of the second half of Donald Trump’s second term in office.
“I don’t think the stakes for the country and the world could be any higher,” Clinton told The New York Times. “If we don’t reverse this chaos and corruption and cruelty that is being visited upon us by this administration, we won’t recognize our country.”
This will mark Clinton’s second major foray into podcast after the former Secretary of State hosted her own interview series, You and Me Both With Hillary Clinton, which aired more than 50 episodes between 2020 and 2023. As it stands, High Stakes will just have a limited run, though more episodes are possible if the show is successful.
