Enjoy Nate Silver, but prefer separating Poker from Politics
Really enjoy commentary, perspectives, and data-informed insights from Nate Silver. I’m a long-time fan of his balanced and knowledgeable analysis on politics and data analysis overall. Missed listening to him on 538, so tried this podcast. After listening to many episodes over the past few months, I think it’s time for the hosts to consider episodes that are either fully politics or fully poker/gambling and labeling them as such. The hosts admirably tried their best to blend those subjects into each episode as they are clearly their passions, but it has become more forced over time and not quite working (for me). Constructively, I think the hosts are at their best when they tackle one of those 2 subjects alone, rather than trying to blend them together.
