Vox Media is ending its contract to distribute Taylor Lorenz’s podcast and YouTube show. The company had a short-term partnership with the high-profile tech reporter that was set to expire earlier this year, Semafor has learned.

The company announced its partnership with Lorenz earlier this year in Axios, which called the distribution deal a “huge win” for the company as it sought to partner with top podcast talent in sales, monetization and strategy. Although Lorenz remains one of the most talked-about journalists in digital media, her social media persona is a magnet for criticism for both her and media companies affiliated with her.

Vox’s decision not to renew the show came before Lorenz’s comments this week in which she appeared to justify the assassination of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO as an expression of public discontent. (She clarified in a Substack post that she was not defending the shooting, but was instead referring to the U.S. health care system.)

In a post on X earlier this month, Lorez said she was having a makeover power user, away from an interview show and looking for a co-host. Lorenz declined to provide details, but told Semafor that she was very happy with her experience working with Vox. “Vox is the best podcast network out there and I can’t say more about it,” she said.
