I'm Maria Konnikova. And I'm Nate Silver. And our new podcast, Risky Business, is a show about making better decisions. We're both journalists who moonlight as poker players. 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 IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
