Too Often Beside the Point

“Not sure when, precisely, I stopped listening regularly to this podcast—sometime in the past year, for sure, but these days when I pop in, I find it to be a lot of hot air that dates almost instantaneously.
For example, the most recent episode about NY’s 3rd congressional district: When the crew recorded their podcast, it was late and they spun hard to diminish the results—point spread not as big as democrats need, they expect the winner’s margin to narrow, and so on. But in the hours since last night, the margin *grew,* rendering their discussion utterly beside the point. And combined with results from PA, a much different picture of the electorate emerges.
Not that *that* tells us all that much, either. But their we-gotta-hurry-and-post-late-night-recording is worthless before it even landed. A pity there’s not more sober consideration going on here. It was a good podcast once upon a time, back when it was all about the ins and outs of political polling.”

“From the time I first discovered Nate Silver, I've been a big fan. The podcast team has their finger on the pulse and uses data in the most intelligent way to really get a handle on what matters and cute thru the noise. It's required listening.”Read full review »

“Jody has a very grating and unpleasant voice, the whole thing was far too unstructured and pretty incoherent. A lot of in-jokes that aren’t funny to the listener.”
