Hey, I'm Jackie's Thomas, the host of a brand new Black Effect original series, Black Lit.

The podcast for diving deep into the rich world of black literature.

Black Lit is for the page turners, for those who listen to audio books while running errands or at the end of a busy day.

From thought-provoking novels to powerful poetry, we'll explore the stories that shape our culture.

Listen to Blacklit on the Black Effect Podcast network, I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your

podcast.

The Black Effect Podcast Network is sponsored by Diet Coke.

I'm Maria Konekova.

And I'm Nate Silver.

And our new podcast, Risky Business, is a show about making better decisions.

And that's the lens we're going to use to approach this entire show.

We're going to be discussing everything from high-stakes poker to personal questions.

Like whether I should call a plumber or fix my shower myself.

And of course we'll be talking about the election too.

Listen on the I-Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

or wherever you listen to podcasts.
