Exclusive: Nate Silver, the founder of FiveThirtyEight, and Maria Konnikova, the author of The Biggest Bluff, are launching a new weekly podcast about making good decisions — in poker, in politics, and in everyday life.
The pair, who are both journalists who moonlight as high-stakes poker players, are launching Risky Business.
The series, which launches on May 16, comes from Malcolm Gladwell’s Pushkin Industries and iHeartPodcasts.

Konnikova, who has a doctorate in psychology, inadvertently became a professional poker player with over $500,000 in tournament winnings, while researching The Biggest Bluff.
The pair will both be competing at the World Series of Poker this year.
