“Maria had thoughtful books and a generally open and curious way of framing the world. These days, she is a paragon of nose-in-the-air sneering elitism and unable to control her scorn for “the other side”. I imagine her red faced and bursting at the seams when she goes on her tirades.
Nate reads too much criticism about himself and has to work around Maria’s emotional outbursts. He ends up sharing half-baked insights (if you can call them that), laced with cowardice, trying I suspect to give a Twitter-safe stance balanced against Maria shrieking wide eyed at him.

“The podcast is at its best as Nate Silver demonstrates an astonishing ability to examine his own priors and biases, and a willingness to challenge Maria on hers too with an earnestness seldom seen. It gives a genuineness to conversation that is disarming, albeit frustrating at times—it feels...”Read full review »
