Listen now | Nate Silver joins me for a wide ranging and candid interview in the inaugural episode of the GD POLITICS podcast. We talk about what it was like behind the scenes at FiveThirtyEight, Elon Musk’s increasingly erratic behavior, and much more.
I was frankly disappointed by the premier episode of the podcast. Having long been an admirer of Nate Silver, I found his incessant verbal tics (all the "like"s and "right"s), his apparent inability to complete a sentence or hold a thought, and his sometimes hysterical tone to be quite an unwelcome surprise, not that I necessarily disagreed with what little I could follow of his rambling. Galen seemed to be somewhat nonplussed and unsure how to handle him as well. I hope future episodes are better moderated and less cringey.
Enjoyed the episode, glad to hear Model Talk again. Would point out that while we do not know what Trump will do in a more political stance, I think we can agree that he clearly is trying to be the Corporate Executive Dictator that he was pre-politics. With his trips to NASCAR and basically waking up each day and trying to fulfil his daily whims, we can see what Trump wants to do, the bigger issue would be what his subordinates intend to do, which is why we have so much chaos.
Happy to hear you again! Just like old times with Nate. Especially looking forward to the show with Clare and Harry. Is there anyway for subscribers to get an unbleeped feed of the podcast. All the bleeping was really annoying.
Glad to see the Podcast back, I liked hearing back again about Nate, although I felt this episode mas more opinion based than data driven, and I kinda love to hear a lot about the data with opinions being complementary.
Anyways, will stay tuned and glad to see what comes next.

I loved this episode! It was great hearing the Model Talk intro again and hope you and Nate can make podcasting together a regular thing.
Great to see you back! Let it also be known that Trudeau announced his resignation just before the Canadian Liberal surge
