Mr. Stewart and Apple executives decided to part ways in recent days, two of the people said. Members of the show’s staff were informed about its end on Thursday. Taping of episodes for the third season was scheduled to begin within a couple of weeks, one of the people said.

Mr. Stewart told members of his staff on Thursday that potential show topics related to China and artificial intelligence were causing concern among Apple executives, a person with knowledge of the meeting said. As the 2024 presidential campaign begins to heat up, there was potential for further creative disagreements, one of the people said.

There is a ton of work that goes into the writing, fact checking, and other parts of production that would be missing from a one man podcast compared to an actual show. Yes, it would still be entertaining, but it would be a completely different thing.

I’m ok if it’s completely different if it means he could do it himself, easily. Yeah, if he needs his staff for a bigger show, I guess he’ll need a production outlet.
