Great Premise but…
it’s not consistently in evidence . The most recent episode (8/1/2024) is illustrative. Nate’s model doesn’t factor a variable that Maria insists is critically important, but she refuses to discuss its analytical significance and resorts to shaming Nate for not saying the right words. As a host of a show about using data to make good decisions shouldn’t she care about the predictive capacity of an opinion about the world that she thinks is super important? Twitter is already a great forum for observing Nate spar with rabid partisans, not sure we needed the podcast version where they pull punches.

More reviews of Risky Business with Nate Silver and Maria Konnikova
Love the podcast, but not sure why Malcolm Gladwell has decided to make everyone equate his voice with long and stupid ads.

I’ve always found Nate interesting and near the end of the 538 Podcast I was disappointed that he was not on every episode. Maira seems knowledgeable but I’m not enjoying them as pair. I hope there is a host shakeup and this show finds it’s footing.

This podcast needs to be labeled as MAGA leaning propaganda. There is no obejextovr analysis. I think I will stop listening now
