This podcast is finding its sea legs and is a bit inconsistent at this point. It has a lot of promise and you can hear genuine emotion as well as rational and logical thought happening here. Interviews pop up from time to time and those are 10/10 excellent. I’d recommend they follow the “Prof G” podcast model where a different icon is used to visually highlight the interview episodes, vs the WSOP episodes, vs the political episodes which tend to be emotionally charged.
Wow get a grip Maria

Was really enjoying this pod until Maria goes all Trump deranged in Conning with the Stars. I’m no fan of that guy but insulting half the country is pathetic. I didn’t realize that she knows so much more than everyone else and can lecture us on how we should think. Reminds me of the old saying about opinions and a holes. Congrats Maria. You just lost a pod listener and book reader
Malcom Gladwell voice too much

Nate can do better without Pushkin! No way I’ll pay Pushkin just for Nate. I read Nate’s books and follow his pods. I get Malcolm Gladwell cofounded Pushkin and wrote books, but his annoying voice doesn’t have to be this much in this pod. Pay someone else reads the ads.
Seriously, Nate

Nate, as a long-time reader and listener, I really think you need to find a new co-host. I abhor Trump, and I suspect that I’m further to the left than you are on many issues. But listening to your most recent episode on whether Trump is a con man—where Maria claimed simultaneously that Trump voters were either con victims or cynical “pieces of” you know what AND, ironically, that reality is “so much more complicated”—I could tell you were at least as uncomfortable as I was. Maria was incredibly reductionist and intellectually immature. Too many more episodes like that, and she’s going to end up bringing you down. Frankly, she’s not that interesting or insightful on other topics to begin with.
