“Really loved the show until recently - big fan of Nate and quickly became a big fan of Maria.
I didn’t mind sharing her political opinions, almost all of which I share identically except for the mor
extreme ones like all Trump
Supporters are con victims. I appreciated the transparency in how she shared them.
But it became a bit much and distracting. In particular, the episode immediately following the election was very off putting. It is clear emotions are high. It’s her podcast and she can say what she wants. But personally it’s hard to even continue with the episode when she says something like the reason Kamala lost was because people just hate women.
A claim not supported by the data - Kamala underperformed with women against Hillary. And every indication is that Kamala did much better than Joe Biden would have in this election.
No quantitative or a qualitative data supports this - in fact Kamala being a woman likely helped her as many report finally wanting a first female president.
And of course Nate doesn’t push back. Just like the last year of the FiveThirtyEight politics podcast which became insufferable and Nate would just sit there pretending he didn’t hear what they were saying.
Again Maria is entitled to her opinion. It is her podcast. Many of us share her values. But stuff like this takes me out of the show and doesn’t appeal to the data driven element which motivates me to follow this show.”

“Given the endorsement from Malcom Gladwell, I had high expectations. It turned out to be a whiny, entitled, gambling addict. No insightful facts or conversation, just a woke rant.”

“If you don’t care about poker and don’t know how to play, this gets tiring really fast. I was interested in the premise of discussing decision making. In episode 3, they present a list of tips billed as something you can use elsewhere in your life for decision making. Good luck following it...”Read full review »
